WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing — except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.

There appears to be a 'culture of corruption' with the democrats. This, the timed-leaking fo the Foley non-scandal, etc

Hung up when questioned about it. I guess they got a little too close for comfort.
To: Republican Red
Now, will we see the lamestream media make a big a deal out of this as they have done with Foleygate? Will there be incessant calls for Reid's resignation?
I am not holding my breath. . . .

The problem is that even though this comes across the AP wires, the drive-by media will never even mention it.

What are you smoking? Reid is not in trouble because he is a democrat. Democrats aren't held to standards or laws. He will not be resigning. He will have to be hauled away kicking and screaming.
