Anybody want to keep an eye out for any filings?
Really... why, pray tell, is Reid not suing the manufacturer?
The principal rumor my friend heard was that Reid had promised to obtain some benefit for a group of mobsters. He met with them on New Years Day, and broke the bad news that he hadnt been able to deliver what he promised. When the mobsters complained, Reid (according to the rumor) made a comment that they considered disrespectful, and one of them beat him up.
This speculation that Reid got a beating suggests a real reason he has abruptly retired from politics.
