Reid is no stranger to scandal, having been the subject of a 1979 Justice Department probe into allegations that Reid — then Nevada Gaming Commission chairman — had received bribes through mob lawyer Oscar Goodman and Tropicana attorney Jay H. Brown.

Was he found with a dead prostitute?

If Reid were to step down, the Republican Governor would replace him with an R.

I guess Howard Dean will now acuse Reid of being a Republican plant.

"That's a big problem. And those Democrats are in trouble. And they should be in trouble."

That's a flip-flop for Dean. A couple of weeks ago he claimed that the Abramoff scandal did not touch Democrats. Can't these guys ever get one story and stick to it?

No, he is only going to step down as minority leader, not relinquish his senate seat.

mob lawyer Oscar Goodman

Is this the same Oscar Goodman who's mayor of Vegas?

BTW - you were great as Cochise in "Broken Arrow" ;-)

Yeah but I think he might step down as minority leader not resign his seat.

Durbin or Schumer. Byron Dorgan has expressed interest in the position, but i would expect him to be indicted before Harry Reid.

""Reid is going around the country talking about a 'Republican scandal' — about Republicans accepting one- and two-thousand dollar contributions from Jack Abramoff, when his own PAC took in $60,000," ..."

Culture of corruption for sure.
