The Reid land scandal took another bizarre turn as the Minority Leader revealed that two additional “clerical errors” had caused him to file false ethics reports. Both of the “clerical errors” involved land transactions. One of which, Reid had failed to disclose ownership of for over 20 years.

Reid revealed the information as an afterthought to his announcement that he had agreed to repay his campaign for funds which were dispersed in violation of FEC regulations. Reid said the land transactions, as well as his failure to disclose, amounted to “two minor matters that were inadvertently left off my original disclosure forms.”

So far, Reid has characterized the FEC matter as a “clerical error” and both of the additional land transactions as “clerical errors” as well.

Reid has promised to “more fully disclose” details regarding the 2004 land scheme in which Reid received a payout of $1.1 million. The false ethics disclosures were not characterized as “clerical errors”, but instead were said to be a “GOP smear campaign”, even though AP reported last week that it learned of the land deal from a former Reid adviser who had concerns about how it was reported to Congress.

Reid Must Go.

This is just delicious!

[TommyDale]

In a carefully worded statement, Reid was quoted as saying, "It was just sex!"

That's one helluva "clerical error"!

Does this guy really think that we are *that* stupid? Ridiculous.

[NordP]

This is just "sloppy."

[spyone]

Unbelievable.

According to the source, AP has reported this latest news. Has anyone in the MSM picked it up yet?

[A CA Guy]

I think the votes that got this @ssh0le elected were a clerical error as well.

He needs removal at once.

The Nevada Land Baron is a poster child for RAT corruption. This can't help but be a positive for us as we go into the final three weeks of this existential fight.

when he's hold up in a motel with wesley snipes, ping me.

Ried must go, and the Repubs should raise holy hell over this --- but they won't. They are a bunch of political wimps. They should also chide and criticize the MSM for not saying a word about Dingy Harry's crimes....it is really hard to support a party that is useless.

So when are we going to see the cat-o-nine tails applied to these stoooopid clerks?

Like I believe this explanation. (choke)

Today on CNN, the happy liberal anchors were smiling and bellowed out:

"The Republican Party continues to be stalled by the Foley Sex Scandal - a scandal that just WON'T GO AWAY!"

[msnimje]

The fact that Reid has FOUR sons who are lobbyists needs to be investigated rigorously.

"The Reid land scandal took another bizarre turn as the Minority Leader revealed that two additional “clerical errors” had caused him to file false ethics reports."

Life is great when someone can blame others for "ethical" errors. It sure as hell beats doing time in a Federal Pen.

[fishergirl]

Whiny Reid - liar, liar, pants on fire! A "clerical error", my eye!!

[dodger]

Where are the Pubbies on this? Where is the Ethics complaint? Where are the calls for hearings??

[rocksblues]

You have to remember that Pubbies are the good guys and Democrats are the kids you hated in High School.

Your Momma taught you to not say anything about some body unless you could say something good!

Their Momma told them attack them whenever you can!

[Political Junkie Too]

Who is Nuke Gingrich? Is this a legitimate site or a parody site?

[gotribe]

Is this guy a Senator or a Realtor?
