Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had an unusual form of praise for New York's junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, this morning at the fundraiser Mayor Bloomberg hosted for him at his townhouse - referring to her as "the hottest member" as she sat just a few feet away, according to three sources.

The comment prompted Gillibrand to turn red, according to the sources, and created a bit of stir among the small crowd there.

"It was pretty shocking when he said it," said one source familiar with the remark and the reaction.

A Reid spokesman confirmed it happened, but also noted that the Democratic Majority Leader also praised Gillibrand for her work.

First Bloomberg spoke, then Sen. Chuck Schumer, and then Reid, according to the sources. Reid praised Schumer at length, discussing how he could have run for governor - and won - in 2006, but didn't, and instead accepted the Nevada senator's entreaties to run the DSCC.

Then he turned his attention to Gillibrand, saying something about how "many senators are known for many things," according to a source. He added, "We in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest member."

I think this is just the Viagra talking.

too bad we don’t have it on tape.

So the NAGS are going to crucify Reid like they would a Republican, correct?

[Slump Tester]

Reid takes it to keep from rolling out of the bed.

It’s called slim pickings

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL!

The Sharon Angle campaign should run an ad on this calling for Reid to attempt to display a little class.

Harry must have double dosed on Geritol.

I can only imagine what would be said if he called her "his pet."

Don’t tell Coons. He’ll be trying to hump her.

If this the best they got, good lord. Our bench is packed solid full of hot chicks: Palin, Coulter, Malkin, Bachmann, Crowley and many more I can’t remember. And ours can think independently better than any commie pinko they got.

[EternalVigilance]

Or even better, his “hottest pet.”

Maybe folks should call her that, just for fun...

I think this is just the Viagra talking.

Mmm - not persuaded on that. If Reid was under the influence of viagra he would be standing upright, rigid, and unable to speak.

Well, she is rather attractive:

Lusting in his heart? Shades of Jimmah.

As Joe Biden put it, Don’t compare us to the Almighty, compare us to the alternative.”

Harry says,”Remember Kirstin, we’ll always have Levitra.”

[tet68]

Oops, how did that get in there?

Harry says, “Remember Kirstin, we’ll always have Lavitra.”

Bloomberg is a tool. Runs as a Republican, rewrites the election laws. Can you even think of a RINO that would host a fund raiser for harry (I’m senile) Reid.
