The profane term for feces is hitting the oscillitating cooling unit blades!

That right there is funny I don't care what anybody says.

Time to get a list of links going!

As could be expected, this is pretty much being ignored by MSM. This is hardly the first time Reid has used his position for his personal or his family's financial gain.

longtime friend and casino lawyer Jay Brown, whose name has surfaced in organized crime investigations.

Reid also served as chairman of the Nevada gaming commission and decided cases involving Brown's clients.

It's going to be fun watching the MSM try and dance around this one.

Talk abour raining on their parade!

And it was one of the Dem's lap-dog media outlets that released it, so they can't blame Fox News or Karl Rove.

Reid always reminds me of the crooked Senator in the Godfather II. Only sleazier and creepier.

Reid can hold up a bank at noon, rape a little girl in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue, and loot the US Treasury in front of tourists.... and the corrupt US media will say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

I don't think this is going anywhere. The MSM will ignore it. Also, why hasn't Reid been indicted already?

[GraceCoolidge]

Interesting to compare the media treatment of this issue with their treatment of George Allen's failure to timely disclose some stock options. I have seen quite a lot of coverage on George Allen's options, with virtually nothing on this Reid issue.

Trivia for the movie "Casino". Robert De Niro's movie of true Mafia operations in Las Vegas:

Dick Smothers' character, Senator, is partly based on Nevada Senator Harry Reid, who was chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. The scene in which Sam Rothstein is denied a license by the Nevada Gaming Commission is based on a December 1978 hearing when Harry Reid was the commission's chairman; some of Reid's statements are used in Smothers' dialogue. The scene was shot in an actual courtroom in the Clark County Courthouse, which was later closed in 2005.

Good post and good information at some of the responses. A tiny mention, maybe 2 sentences, tonight on NBC evening news, AP article, but no drumbeat to investigate. Reid Crime Family is old news, you know "old news, been there, done that" reaction from the MSM.

But at least here, and Rush, good info.

Pretty interesting! Thanks for posting. The lack of scrutiny re: Reid's and his family's business dealings is mind-boggling!

[BW2221]

Is it my imagination or does Harry look like a refugee from the old Hee Haw show?

[phillyfanatic]

Yep but as usual, the GOP won't push this and nothing will be done to impeach Harry's integrity. The Dems just do a better job smearing opponents with lies while the poor Pubs try to use facts and appear petty. Too bad, Reid needs to be chastised as a poster boy of sleaze in the Party.

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. BTTT! The enemy within.

[blondee123]

Sadly, no one will see this on MSM!!!
