Government shutdown: Harry Reid: ‘I am not a criminal’ By: Burgess Everett October 2, 2013 11:24 AM EDT
There will be no charm offensive from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said Wednesday that Republicans are “obsessed” with beating him in a political chess match rather than opening back up the government.
“Some in the Republican conference are too mad at me personally, too obsessed at getting me personally to back down from doing what most of America believes is the right thing,” Reid said, again reiterating that the Senate’s six-week clean spending bill is the only way out of a shutdown.
The Nevada Democrat also defended his role in fighting Republican attempts to water down Obamacare as a condition to keeping the government open, responding directly to a National Review piece that called him the “villain of villains.”
“When I read this yesterday, I thought, no one likes to be called a villain,” Reid said, reading aloud definitions of the word that mean “uncouth,” “scoundrel” or “criminal.” “I am not a criminal. I am not a scoundrel. So they better get a different definition of me.”

Harry Reid is the crooked senator from Nevada in The Godfather II. It’s almost like they base the character on him.

“I am not a schnook!”
Looks like it is getting to him
Apparently the evil republican mantra is not working
They did.
Uh huh, Harry. And your wife has a plain cloth coat and you aren’t giving up your little dog Checkers. Right.
Good one. But with all due respect to Nixon's family, he was arguably small potatoes compared with the corrupt federal lawmakers that we're dealing with now.
if only half of what is said about him and the las vegas unions is true, then yes you are a crook
Damn hypocrite Harry Reid had no problem calling Mitt Romney a criminal on the senate floor.
KEEP THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN. This is the fight of all fights. This is the soft American Revolution against Tyranny. Boehner MUST NOT cave to the petulant little foreigner in the White House. If things get worse, so be it. Let 0bama close down everything and hurt the public even more. Nothing is more hurtful or intrusive as the IRS and their stinking mandatory health care TAX.
The GOP should hold the line and DEMAND that Benghazi, IRS targeting conservatives and DOJ spying on Fox News with a bogus warrant against James Rosen ALL be assigned special select committees and subpoenas for all relevant witnesses, including all evacuees from Benhazi, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, etc.
Let's see a return of ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE WHITE HOUSE ONCE AND FOR ALL THEN BEING ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST OBAMA AND HIS CRIMINAL REGIME.
Define crook, Harry.
No, he's from LAS VEGAS (via Searchlight) there's a BIG difference! We got us a whole entire state outside of that glitzy enclave!
No Harry, the “right thing” to do would be to start hanging you traitors until the rest stop abusing the power they have been loaned.
So what’s stopping Ted Cruz, Mike Lee & others from demanding an ethics inquiry? Looks like it’s time to turn up the heat on Mr. Reid.
Harry Reid: Piecemeal government funding a nonstarter

“We can’t and we won’t be forced to choose between parks and cancer research or disease control or highway safety or the FBI,” Reid said. “This is not serious. The government’s shut down. If they think they’re going to come and nit-pick us on this, it won’t work.”
In my best Maury Povich impersonation, “ in the DNA test results it shows that Harry Reid — you ARE a criminal”.
