Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had an unusual form of praise for New York's junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, this morning at the fundraiser Mayor Bloomberg hosted for him at his townhouse - referring to her as "the hottest member" as she sat just a few feet away, according to three sources.
The comment prompted Gillibrand to turn red, according to the sources, and created a bit of stir among the small crowd there.
"It was pretty shocking when he said it," said one source familiar with the remark and the reaction.
A Reid spokesman confirmed it happened, but also noted that the Democratic Majority Leader also praised Gillibrand for her work.
First Bloomberg spoke, then Sen. Chuck Schumer, and then Reid, according to the sources. Reid praised Schumer at length, discussing how he could have run for governor - and won - in 2006, but didn't, and instead accepted the Nevada senator's entreaties to run the DSCC.
Then he turned his attention to Gillibrand, saying something about how "many senators are known for many things," according to a source. He added, "We in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest member."

It’s just sad. How can you just say that it’s weird and sad to see harry reid do that. it’s a bold political move to get people to try to say bad things about harry reid that are not you suck at your job. don’t go for it.
That’s the commercial.
Run the clip. Then say, is your campaign strategy to do successively stupider things in order to try to get us off message? Lady Ga Ga on the twitter? Oh yeah Harry Reid, you’re really using twitter to talk to lady ga ga. Right.
What’s next killing somebody, and hoping that distracts people from the terrible job you’re doing? It’s not the killing it’s the job he’s doing. But you just killed someone. What does that have to do with the great job I’m doing? The job you’re doin....... you just killed someone.
Better than “stop destroying the country” for Harry Reid to hear.
“People say Harry Reid is an insider politician, but would a insider politician just go and kill someone. No. This is clearly not politics as usual.” Reid’s TV Spot announcing his new “distract them with a murder spree campaign.” It’ll bring in people who have “heard of him for some reason”. Most murderers can’t vote, right, being a felon and all. But some don’t get caught. So, you have the murderer voting bloc to consider. Rarely is that voter bloc considered. How about a shout out to the hookers of Nevada?
Increasingly erratic behavior on Reid’s part.
Any of the Fox news babes. They’re kinda trained to do the job. They’re paying attention to current events at least.
They’re good on TV, they know everybody already. Some would be better than others, make sure you pick the conservative ones, etc.
Yeah, but, some other pictures aren’t as good. She’s pleasant enough to look at, but not hot. Close maybe. I’ve seen better pix of Blanche lincoln. But we don’t care.
Palin and O’Donnell are hot.
No, because the fact that Coons is a guy is gay.
And we don’t want to make Reid seem less gay.
Well, remember that Schumer did recruit her as a possible counter to the GOP’s Sarah Palin.
“I think this is just the Viagra talking.”
Hmmm, let’s see - Reid has now outed his Pet and his Hottie. Can’t wait to see what’s next...
Tomorrow, we'll find out which senator has the best dialect.
I guess creepy Reid likes girls too.
Reid is actually right though she is the best looking in the Senate. Which is why we need Christine O’Donnell in there instead of Reid’s Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Pet Coons.
What the hell happened to Mary Landrieu? Did she swallow a pallet of watermelons? She used to be quite attractive.
Blanche “I poll lower than Josef Megele with a bloody scalpel in hand” Lincoln used to be GILF-ish.
And then there's YellowSnowe from Maine and her twin SuCo, who has been transformed into a Chinese woman. She really should sue her butcher, err, plastic surgeon.
Last but not least is whatever the hell it is from MD...
yeah...
Yeah I was gonna say, Landrieu was okay before she eat her weight in gumbo.
Don’t forget Debbie Stabenow (woof) from Michigan. She was never attractive but I think she recently swallowed Micheal Moore.
OBTW nice of Bloomberg to fundraiser for Senate rats. So glad the GOP gave him their ballot line even after he “left” the party.
