1) On the Ritz-Carlton holiday donations, Reid gave $600 in 2002, then $1,200 in 2004 and $1,500 in 2005 from his re-election campaign to an entity listed as the REC Employee Holiday Fund. His campaign listed the expenses as campaign “salary” for two of the years and as a “contribution” one year. Reid’s office said the listing as salary was a “clerical error”
2) On the land dealings, Reid announced Monday he had failed to disclose two other transactions on his prior ethics reports …the first, involved the 2004 sale of land he owned in Searchlight, Nev. Reid said the failure to disclose those transactions previously was due to “clerical errors”.
3) The second involved land that he had not reported since 1985. The 21 year delay in admitting the lapse was, of course due to “clerical errors. Reid was elected to the Senate in 1986. For the past 20 years, Reid says his failure to disclose amounted to “two minor matters that were inadvertently left off my original disclosure forms.”

Good God. I was so angry...I was listening to the radio up here in MA, and the newsperson said something like "...Reid, who gave more than $3000 in tips from his campaign fund may have possibly committed a campaign violation..."
