Default Harry Reid enjoys politics for many reasons ..

Least of which is the fact he is making bucket loads of cash!

You ate today. Students take quizzes today. Politicians make loads of cash by protecting the interests of their own electorate.

Par for course, as far as I'm conserned.

Nevertheless, I look at this story and see a huge non-issue. I don't see bribery, fraud, or deception going on. I see a guy who didn't think that a certain source of money needed to be reported, but is willing to report it if told he must do so. I hope they don't try to make a movie out of this scandal.

Harry Reid is your typical piece of crap politician.

The guy is an embarrassment whenever he puts his mug on camera and it's embarrasing that he's like that is and is LDS. He's a complete piece of crap.

Oh, I don't disagree with your sentiment. However his righteous indignation will be that much more difficult to accept from this point forward.

"Embarrassing that he is LDS?" I think you are taking this too far in your customary attempt to blend religion and politics.

Nope. He is what he is. I know the liberals on here will get offended with that statement and quite frankly I don't care.

No kidding? I am pretty sure you have adequately made that point.

BTW, I have to admit that your sushi thread on CB this morning was pretty funny.

I should clarify I'm not one of those "You can't be a democrat and a Mormon" people, though I'm sure some think otherwise, and that's okay too.

Yeah,,,the whole Sushi thing....sorry,,,but I have to admit that was full on trolling on my part....it's amazing how pissed off someone gets when you tell them that a lot of people eat Sushi cause they want to be viewed as trendy and/or progressive.

You go the Happy Sumo at the Gateway and you better make sure you've got your buttcrack glued shut lest you get jumped.
