The Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, said his office contacted the Senate ethics committee on Wednesday and offered to correct his financial disclosure statements if they misrepresented his ties to a land deal in his home state in which his family made a profit of about $700,000.
In a statement, Mr. Reid did not acknowledge errors in the disclosure forms but said he was ready to make a “technical correction” if the ethics committee determined that adjustments were needed.

He is just a technical crook. When he dies he will have to be screwed into the ground.

Ummm ... no. The precedent set with the Duke Cunningham conviction, with which your party was so pleased, says otherwise,

If I said to the IRS, "Oh, it looks like I cheated severely on my returns for the past 10 years, but I am perfectly willing to make technical corrections if you would like", I sure they wouldn't hold anything against me. After I got out of jail, that is.

Oh, I forgot. Resign, Harry, and take your leaders with you since they should have known this was going on. Be a man.

“Desperate to get their scandals off the front page,” Mr. Manley said, “the Republican Party is once again trying to smear Democrats. Ahh, it's all the Repubs fault that he didn't disclose it in 2001.

Wow, I wonder if Harry will allow Foley to recall those messages then. Just a technical correction. How about the years that Harry's secret relationship went unreported? They chutzpah of those berks is unbelievable!

Sorry, wishful-thinking Freepers. Dirty Harry will get away with just such a remedy as he has proposed, IMO. No Pubbie committee chmn., or Pubbie committee majority is going to want to appear hard-nosed or vindictive over an unfortunate oversight. Can't we just get along?
After all, Sen. Reid is a very busy man, absorbed in the people's business; can't be expected to keep tabs on every little detail of his personal affairs back home in Nevada.
