Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid died Tuesday at the age of 82.

Reid, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018, served in Congress from 1983 until his retirement in 2017. He announced in 2019 his cancer was in remission.

A Democrat representing Nevada, Reid served as senate majority leader from 2007-2015. He became most well-known for his use of the "nuclear option" in 2013, leading the charge to end the filibuster on executive branch nominees and judicial nominees other than to the Supreme Court.

Here richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician’s corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.

Good riddance to bad rubbish but since I have nothing good to say I’ll keep my mouth shut.

It wasn’t directed at you. It’s just that as you scroll down you see all these breathless declarations of Reid’s death. I just don’t GAF and I wouldn’t expect to see this much space given to that lying corrupt politician’s death.

Please allow good patriots to have a go at the dead scumbag. We do need out comforts in these trying times.

Does it smell as bad where you are as the sweaty tourists in the Capitol Harry?

I reserve my observations about late Mister Reid until a more appropriate time, a bit later on.

That said, he will not be missed by many and an airport might be in need of a new name. (Can Nevadans vote on airport names?)

I wrote Harry Reid’s only biography. He was a skunk who took Mafia bribes.

Wow, has it been 15 years since I wrote this song about Harry? Time has flown.
