The Dishonorable Harry Reid

Congress: Harry Reid's skill at making money in real estate makes Donald Trump look like an apprentice. If he ever writes his autobiography, it should be called "The Art of the Shady Deal."

If you accept Harry Reid's explanation that his most recent land deal is on the square, then he has a bridge to sell you. No, not that bridge. Another bridge built over the Colorado River a few miles from property in northern Arizona he bought at about $167 an acre. He doesn't own that bridge, either.

But he has sold land he did not own at the time he sold it before.

It is presumably due to his real estate skills that Reid can afford to stay at the Ritz-Carlton when he's in Washington, D.C., and can afford to pass out $3,000 in Christmas bonuses to its staff. Oops, that was money from his campaign fund, a federal no-no.

Time and space do not permit reciting the complete catalog of the ethically challenged Reid's escapades. But they all have a familiar ring to them — the ring of a cash register.

Last fall, we commented on how Reid in 2001 failed to disclose to Congress a transfer of land to a company owned by another friend, one Jay Brown, the sale of which would net Reid a cool $1.1 million from land he no longer owned.

Moving Nevada forward. Got it.

Nothing will stick to Harry. Democrats are teflon.

[george76]

Sad, but you are correct.

Nothing will stick to Harry. Democrats are teflon.

Hewitt was playing audio of Reid tonight, and I was laughing so hard. It seems Reid is trying to make people believe that needing 60 votes is unusual .. and a dirty trick by the repubs.

These liberals really do think we're stupid!

Well said!! This needs to be sent to every media outlet in the country (let's get on it, Freepers!). Yes, most of them will ignore it, but if even a couple of reporters start to get a clue, the whole thing could start to unravel. Reid is scum, like most of his fellow Demagogues.

Thus, the facts as reported indicate that Reid and Haycock engaged in a double criminal conspiracy: 1) they conspired to enable Haycock to embezzle the excess value of the realty from the pension fund he controlled for Reid's benefit and 2) they entered into a bribery conspiracy whereby Haycock transferred the pension fund's realty interest to Reid in return for Reid sponsoring favorable legislation. These are serious felonies both under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the bribery statutes of the United States. It's truly surprising how few media outlets, even in the new media, have commented on this probable, major criminal conspiracy involving the Senate majority leader.

[george76]

Beautiful.

Is that a new one ?

[CyberAnt]

These old geezers need to be put out to pasture.

[potlatch]

Actually they are both older ones! The right one is distorted a bit because I sized them to match but it was during the Foley brouhaha.

Can't recall what the left one was for, but who needs a reason, lol?

[george76]

They are both crying ?


Someone must have hurt their feeling.

[potlatch]

They are both crying ?

LOL, no, I don't think they are crying, just their normal 'look'. They pinged me to some 'photoshop' thing, don't know the occasion for the picture.

[devolve]

[potlatch]

Lol, they are a lot more lively in your post devolve!!

[devolve]

Yes they are!

Notice that Nanzi got her big jet too -

[potlatch]

HER jet, OK. I didn't know if she was trying to laser it or throw that deadly japanese warrior star thing at Reid, snicker!

[devolve]

Nanzi is "Star Kissed"

[potlatch]

Than you can sing "Fly Me To The Moon" for her.

[devolve]

Yeah -

I think I did that 2-3 days ago on a thread
