Capt Ed writing in the New York Post:
“The L.A. Times revealed the Reid family’s extensive connections with Clark County developers in June 2003, as well as Reid’s extensive legislative interest in the land, but the Brown-Reid investment had not yet come to light - thanks to Reid’s failure to disclose.
Had the investment been known, voters could have made the connection. The Senate Ethics Committee might have taken an interest as well - except that Harry Reid himself sat as the top Democrat on that panel.
Disclosures now are pointless. The ethics panel needs to order a full investigation not just into the $700,000 profit, but all of Reid’s business partners and any legislation or intervention with federal regulators Reid pushed on their behalf.”
While the MSM keeps a fetished focus on Foley, which while it’s disgusting, it much to do about nothing. After all they cannoized a real pedophile Garry Studds upon his death the other day.
But nothing in the media today compares to the Harry Reid story. Folks forget that John Solomon of the AP isn’t exactly an Republican booster and yet he couldn’t avoid NOT writing an exclusive on it. Everyday now we are seeing more and more newspapers and their editorial boards calling for a full investigation and in some cases for Reid to step down as minority leader.
Just five years ago you might not have ever heard of this story, but with the new media it can’t help but come out.
In case you haven’t called….

1Whoa!
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24938
Democratic donor in Tennessee, Barry Stokes arrested on Friday of embezzling pension funds in TN and giving $70,000 to the TN Democratic Party statewide and national. Democratic Party chairman in TN refuses to give back the money donated by Stokes despite calls from a DEMOCRATIC state senator to do just that!
Seems like Harry Reid has some company!

2Speaking of Harry:
Reid Goes Beyond Ethics Requirements, Disarms GOP Smear Campaign
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid today issued the following statement:
“Last month, Republicans openly boasted that they would engage in a campaign of personal attacks and smears to hold onto power in Washington. In recent days, we witnessed their latest attempt to do just that.
“Republicans may believe in cover-ups. I believe in ensuring all facts come to light.
“Last week, a highly misleading report by the Associated Press implied that I made a profit selling land I no longer owned. That article was wrong. Here are the facts: I bought the land in 1998, I sold it in 2004, and I listed my ownership of the land on official Senate disclosure forms every single year.
“Now I have taken an additional step. Today, I directed my staff to file amended financial disclosure forms noting that in 2001, I transferred title to the land to a Limited Liability Corporation. As the amended forms make clear, this routine legal move in no way altered my actual ownership of the land. On each disclosure form after 2001, I have added a note to clarify that the land already disclosed in detail on those forms was owned by me through the LLC.
“The Ethics Committee has not yet advised me whether I should file these amended forms, but even if I am not required to do so I am happy to go beyond what is needed to provide the fullest disclosure. The amended forms make clear what was true all along - I owned the land through the LLC when I sold it in 2004.
…..
And of course, we’re supposed to take your word for it. A$$hat!!

4I’m sending this info on the TN embezzeled contribution to the state and Natl. Dems and the state Chairman’s refusal to give the money back to the editor of our local paper, the Knoxville News Sentinel. I’m also going to ask him why he keeps printing Harold Ford’s lies without corrections added, as most reputable newspapers do. The lies? Ford’s a lawyer. His daddy was exonerated after being indicted on felony charges (charges were dropped by Janet Reno along with charges against other big time Dem. operatives) Not to mention the lies he is telling about his opponent’s business connections and activities. I think he is even lying about being a Ford. None of the other Ford’s are as white as he is. It looks like there was a white man in that wood pile.

5Now Dirty Harry is saying “oh, by the way, there were two more land deals I forgot to report.” He is also having to pay back over $3,000.00 in campaign funds that he used to give Christmas gifts to his high rise-high dollar apartment building staff. Seems that Dirty Harry forgot that he is prohibited, by law, to use campaign funds for that purpose.
With someone who is obviously extremely absentminded, do we really need him in Congress? If he forgets campaign laws, what other laws has he forgotten about?
