Dingy Harry Swims in the Muck
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/12/AR2006101200129.html
Well, now, let us hear about the Culture of Corruption from Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Rep Jefferson from LA and Cynthia McKinney about Senate Minority Leader’s ‘business dealings.”
Gee. Do we just let this pass and allow the Ethics Committee to sort through these allegations or do we yell crook?
If this were a Republican then the Drive-by Media would be howling for their skins. How much of a call for a ‘full investigation ‘do we hear from the NYT?? I think somebody on the AP staff needs to be fired for bringing up this matter near election time. It makes Harry Reid look like a possible criminal. How politically incorrect!!
Let us all be calm, and quiet, of course, about this and let the investigation proceed assuming, as always, that the man in innocent until proven guilty.
Sure.
Dingy Declares:
Everything I did was transparent, Reid told a Las Vegas news conference Wednesday after the AP story was published. "I paid all the taxes. Everything is fully disclosed to the ethics committee and everyone else. As I said, if there is some technical change that the ethics committee wants, I'll be happy to do that.
The facts apparently are [AP link]:
After getting local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center, Brown's company sold the land in 2004 to other developers and Reid took $1.1 million of the proceeds, nearly tripling the senator's investment. Reid reported it to Congress as a personal land sale.
The complex dealings allowed Reid to transfer ownership, legal liability and some tax consequences to Brown's company without public knowledge, but still collect the payoff nearly three years later.
So, Dingy gets his cronies to change the rules and laws for Harry so he can make nearly 300% on his crooked deal?? This is just quarter-pitching stuff. Hillary made %1000 per cent.
Dingy Harry is a criminal micro midget compared to seasoned crooks with high-level contacts like Hillary Clinton.
Another crooked Democrat? What other kinds are there??
