Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid raised eyebrows at a New York City fundraiser hosted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg Monday morning when he referred to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand as the "hottest member," according to CNN.
Gillibrand, who was seated only a few feet away from Reid at Bloomberg's New York townhouse, flushed with embarrassment at the comment, CNN reports.
According to a Politico source, Reid delivered remarks praising New York's senior senator, Chuck Schumer, before turning to Gillibrand and adding that, "many senators are known for many things," and that "we in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest member."
Reid spokesman Jim Manley acknowledged that Reid made the comment, but emphasized that the Nevada senator had then gone on to compliment Gillibrand for a variety of non-physical attributes, including her extensive knowledge of securities law. "What can I say, she made The Hilll's 'Most Beautiful' list," Manley said to Politico. "Of course [Reid] also went on to praise her skill and tenacity and described her as an effective member of the New York delegation as well."
"The Leader was saying nice things about the work Senator Gillibrand and Senator Reid have done together over the last year and half, and made a joke referencing to the Hill article from earlier this year," Gillibrand spokesman Matt Cantor said this morning to CNN.
"Senator Gillibrand has the utmost respect for Senator Reid and looks forward to continue working together to repeal [Don't Ask Don't Tell], pass 9/11 health, and create good-paying jobs across the country," Cantor said.

You win for best reply to a post! Touché!
I am sure he would have if he could get away with it. Did you read that the Secret Service refused to attend the Vice President's personal annual Christmas party at the Naval Observatory because Joe Biden kept grabbing the a$$es and boobs of their wives and girlfriends?
Ummm...because they are all ugly, and they assume that any attractive woman slept her way to the top?

Doh! Good one

Male pols aren't the only ones with zipper problems. Female pols can be just as bad.
Investigate what — whether he posted it? LOL.
Reid bragged that he grew up in a brothel. He should know.
You sure about that?
I’m actually surprised she shaves her pits. Doesn’t that mean that she’s bowing to male chauvinism, or something.
She’s wearing a tiny pair of handcuffs on that red dress!
In a normal corporate world, Dirty Harry Reid would be called to HR and very likely fired for such a public comment.
Being a slut is shameful.

She’s too old for Biden.
The third photo shows she’s not a true feminist.
Anyone else - Can you guess why?
