That creepy old guy, Senate Democratic Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.), accepted free ringside tickets from the Nevada Athletic Commission to three professional boxing matches while that state agency was trying to influence him on federal regulation of boxing. Those are $1400 tickets! Senator John McCain was seen in a ringside picture sitting with Reid. McCain paid for his tickets, but still -- talk about sleeping with the enemy. Reid justifies his gifts (bribes) by saying that since he votes on regulations concerning Nevada gaming, it is his DUTY to attend boxing matches. Let me repeat that, since it sounds so unbelievable. Since he votes on regulations concerning Nevada gaming, it is his DUTY to attend boxing matches! He told reporters, "Anyone from Nevada would say, 'I'm glad he is there taking care of the state's No. 1 businesses'." Using that convoluted logic, as E.D. Hill said on Fox and Friends this morning, every Senator who votes on cruise line regulations should take a free cruise. I have a better idea. Every Senator who votes on airline safety standards should be required to ride on unsafe planes. That's REAL fact-finding! This isn't the first time creepy old Reid has been caught with his fingers in the till. He took more than $60,000 from Indian tribes linked to Jack Abramoff. In fact, there were only four Democrats in the Senate who were NOT involved with the crooked lobbiest. Unlike many of the other Dems, creepy old Reid refuses to return the money.
Have you wondered why the Abramoff scandal seems to have slipped off the radar screen?
You can read more about creepy old Reid's past ethical hiccups here. It seems his modus operendi is just to not acknowledge that he's done anything wrong. He doesn't even deny allegations, it's the stupid voters who don't understand the situation.
So, the Democrats' "culture of corruption" battle plan takes another hit. Somebody really needs to explain to them the difference between righteous and self-righteous.

Lone Ranger: "Somebody really needs to explain to them [the Democrats] the difference between righteous and self-righteous." Their leaders, like Reid, are lawyers - professionals who pride themselves in understanding the slightest nuance.
There will be a terrific need for such experts when the next Ice Age arrives. Ice Age Planning Step #2
"Senator John McCain was seen in a ringside picture sitting with Reid. McCain paid for his tickets, but still -- talk about sleeping with the enemy."
Senator McCain is NOT Harry Reids enemy.
Yeah, that's the problem.
