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.

Every GOP senate candidate should demand that immediately especially if their Dem opponent has demanded the same of Hastert.
Goodbye Reid. I jsut posted this is the same type of manipulation that nailed Randy Duke Cunningham. Ried is screwed.
Hope you are correct and that this story has legs
New campaign chant....
Reid, Cunningham, Reid, Cunningham...
One is in Jail, why not the other?
Of course if this was Bill Frist it would lead their shows.
I am calling for a congressional investigation. This is more seedy than 2 adults having sex talk on paper.
If it can be proved he is screwed legally.
As I play this out in my head, I think the MSM will blame the republican leadership for leaking this 'October Surprise' and call for Denny Hastert to resign twice. lol
You all think this will be the lead story on the evening news and cable shows tonight?
How about screaming headlines in the NY Slimes and Washington Compost so the morning shows will report it since that is where they get their news from?
Anybody want to buy some ocean front property in Arizona??

Who is going to ask him about this, let alone prosecute him? The Bush Administration will quash an investigation for fear that someone will accuse them of being partisan. No Republican pundit will dare bring this up if they want to evr be on TV again. No Democrat anywhere will ever be confronted with their association with Harry Reid over this. And certainly no reporter will ask at Harry's next press conference.
Let's see who had more power in Washington...Mark Foley or Harry Reid? Hmmmm.
Yeah, but has he ever in his entire life said the N-word?
The average DemonRat won't get it, nor do they want to.
LOL. Probably.
Verrry Interesting...
I do not think he would have hung up on the AP if there was not more damaging stuff there. He is screwed! Bwahahahahahah

I guess this is what Dims meant by a Culture of Corruption.
He sold the land, but kept the political rights :-).
