WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.

Chris Mathews won't even mention it. It must be too complicated.
The last senator elected president was JFK, 46 years ago. In roughly 120 years, only two senators have been elected president. If it's a springboard, then concrete is a trampoline.
I came across a blog that addressed some of these issues.

Oh good. Sandy Buglar is going to be investigated for stealing Clintons "Terror plan" from the national archives right before the 9/11 committee Clinton testimony.
Ahhhh. Life is good. 28 days before an election.
Rove, you magnificent bastard.
Wow, you know what this sounds like? SCANDAL!! But I have a feeling it won't be making any headlines.
SURPRISE! SUURRPRISE! SUUURRRPRISE!!!
What happend to Foley ? October surprize? Rove did it!!! This election is really starting to be fun.Hey GOP save one for Friday the 13th.!!!
Attention: All you DU lurking fools (and DU impostor's posting on FR) ...This is what a "October Surprise" is suppose to look like!
Take your Foley and shove it!
Oops, this is all about a Democrat.
Never mind.
Think positive and start blogging your little fingers off. We can't let this one get away.
Well, well, well. I think we should call for an investigation, don't you?
"Reid's racketeering of water rights and open space to manipulate the value of his holdings is legendary."
Look up Reid's holdings at the Clark County Assessor. He owns 200 arcres in searchlight, as dry as a bone. He put his son Rory on the Clark County Commission, which also happens to deal with water rights.
I see nothing posted at the DU regarding this..but there are STILL multiple foley threads..ROFL..
Now the questions are...
How were the headlines and leads phrased?
How long, how detailed and how forthright was coverage?
Did coverage also appear online or just hard copy?
What will be the follow-up, if any?
Why is the NYT not on this list?
Can ABC squeeze out "Road to Nevada" in a week or two?
Oh they'll be coming shortly about how Rove is trying to pull a fast one.
Call your senators and also:
Senate ethic committee is 202-224-2981
Let's demand REID's resignation! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
Absolutely. Duke Cunningham Reid has some splainin' to do.
I'm on hold...........they are very busy taking calls right now :)
