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.

when he's holed up in a motel with wesley snipes, ping me.
But being as Dirty Harry has that "tired, aging Lesbian" look about him, there might be even more confusion added to this whole layout.

Reid also said he just hadn't looked deeply enough into Sandy Bergers "Pants".....before he filed his original ethics reports.

No, it was just reported two hours ago. AP buried the lead, and only mentioned the two extra land deals as an aside.

KEEP DIGGING!!
To: grandpa jones
Reid should resign. He is an influence-peddling crook who plays the power of his office in dirty land deals so he can pad his pockets.

Where did all the GOP crotch fighters go ?
To: grandpa jones
I'm not sure about this story, but with Harry Reid's original Land Deal, at the very least, he should step down.

Yes, and Sandy Burger's stuffing those classified documents down his skivvies was simply a "clerical error."

Ried must go, and the Repubs should raise holy hell over this --- but they won't. They are a bunch of political wimps. No disagreement from me.
