Ok, just when the Democrats start getting blow back from the Delay attack we will begin to hear about the "Politics of Personal Destruction". Wonder who will scram uncle first?

Woo Hoo!

I just called up Senator Reids office and asked about his stance on adoption. The person who answered the phone said he didn't know. I said, "Because I was wondering if the Senator could adopt me." "I don't have a job and I could use some favors, it seems like his sons have a good deal."

Call Senator Reid and ask him to adopt you!

[BullDog108]

Rush was talking about this article on his show today. Thanks for posting.

[rpierce]

Yes, and (if you believe his campaign spots) he eats at the local cafe there every day! lol.

Maybe Nevada can get rid of him next election cycle. I'd sure rather see Gibbons or Heller in Washington.

Harry Reid. Ugh.

[Shermy]

Nicky, keep a close eye on Harry.
He's slipping.

[writer33]

That was good.

[writer33]

I couldn't believe Nevada elected him again. It was the "Independent Like Nevada" slogan that got the people that didn't pay attention. As if he somehow managed to link Democrats to independents. It was a joke.

[Libloather]

But he's from Searchlight, Nevada.

They may just have to change that to Spotlight...

Reid's son leaves firm's capital office
Sunday, December 14, 2003
Las Vegas Review-Journal
By TONY BATT
STEPHENS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON -- The youngest son of Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., has left the Washington office of a prominent Las Vegas law firm to take a job with the Greenspun Corp. in Henderson.

Key Reid, 28, had managed the Washington office of Lionel Sawyer & Collins since it opened on March 11, 2002. He was the only attorney in the office.

Former Sen. Richard Bryan, D-Nev., who joined Lionel, Sawyer & Collins two years ago and lobbies Congress for the firm, worked with Key Reid during trips back to Washington.

"He let us know in November that he had decided to return to Nevada," Bryan said.

Key Reid could not be reached this week. He did not respond to voice messages left for him at Lionel Sawyer & Collins and at Greenspun Corp., a real estate development firm.

In July, the Los Angeles Times published a series of articles listing 17 senators and 11 House members whose relatives lobby or work for clients with business before Congress.

One of the articles spotlighted Reid and his four sons, who all were employed by Lionel Sawyer & Collins, the largest law firm in Nevada.

After being interviewed by the newspaper, Sen. Reid decided Key Reid and son-in-law Steven Barringer, also a lobbyist, should not be allowed to visit his office on behalf of clients.

Bryan said he did not think the newspaper series played a role in Key Reid's decision to leave Washington.

"Not as far as I know," Bryan said. "The senator (Reid) has a policy in which no member of his family can have personal contact with his office. I always handle those contacts. I don't think (the newspaper article) was a factor in Key's decision."

Brent Heberlee, a former Senate aide to Bryan and now a Washington lobbyist for SBC Communications has been hired to replace Key Reid, Bryan said.

Nothing to see here - move along

[paradoxical]

We in Nevada elected President Bush 51% to kerry 49%
Reid was re-elected something like 61% to 35%
I am no mathematician but it looks like a lot of President Bush voters voted for dusty reid
Go figure!

[Enterprise]

Let's all fill one out have Senator Reid sign them.

[writer33]

Oh, yeah. I hope the people of Nevada that touched Harry Reid's name on the screen are thinking about that now. And I don't mean the fire-breathing libs. I'm talking about the uninformed CNN watchers.

[writer33]

It's only right. That's how they'd do it in Searchlight. :)

[LasVegasMac]

LOL

[Mudboy Slim]

I wonder if Dingy Harry is fully aware of the political bull's-eye he's got smack dab between his shoulder blades? RATS are gonna start abandoning ship as they realize Reid's Obstructionist Strategy is doomed to failure. As long as the GOP demonstrates a stiffened spine fer the next coupla years, the RATS are utterly powerless to stop us from implementing a 100% Conservative Agenda!!
