Rory, you're a dork.

Rory Reid kept using the word “transparent” last week to describe an elaborate ruse so he could accept a $750,000 contribution from a single political action committee — 75 times the legal limit.
He’s right. It was transparent. But not in the way he means it.
This was a transparent attempt to find a loophole in the campaign contribution laws by a gubernatorial candidate apparently desperate for money to try to revive his moribund campaign. And it was specifically designed to be opaque — a master PAC created with a name that belied its true purpose and 91 phony entities with names concocted to mislead.
Whether what Reid did was legal — or should be legal — will be determined later. But this was nothing short of a conspiracy to commit the equivalent of money laundering in a political campaign, where Reid solicited contributions in large amounts for a PAC ($850,000 during one reporting period) and then the money was washed through sham entities in smaller amounts ($10,000 increments) to appear in the candidate’s war chest.

Las Vegas and Nevada - the rectum of America that re-elected Hairy Reid. Las Vegas is such a disgusting hell hole.
Oh that Rory Reid! He’s just a chip off the old crook...

Rory must have thought the old man showed him everything he knows. Didn’t tell Jr how not to get caught.
In the 1995 movie Casino with Robert DeNiro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesce, Dick Smothers plays the Nevada state Senator that denies DeNiro a license for the casino.
Smother’s character is based on Harry Reid.
The apple didn’t fall far from the tree did it?
Like the acorn, the cowpie does not fall far from the orifice from whence it came
like son, like father? or..
I hate to say it, but Hunter Thomspon was spot-on about LV.
Hey! The east coast is going to give LV serious competition for that title. Philadelphia, Boston, New York and Baltimore are all contenders. Then you have San Fransicko, Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland on the west coast. And let's not forget all the inland contenders like Chicago, Madison and Cleveland.

And the character is as corrupt as they come. With this type of stuff coming from his kid, you can see that the old man was equally despicable.
I saw The Smothers Brothers in Vegas a couple years ago. They were hilarious and I was surprised to see that they work blue. Vegas is a great town run by corrupt dopes.
Yup and I think Harry Reid was a straight shooter back then. But he got corrupted like most hacks
Word for word what I was going to post. LOL
It remains to be seen whether Rory Reid will get prosecuted for his money laundering and illegal campaign contributions. I seriously doubt it.

I’m hoping that it goes past just Rory and maybe some land deals are scrutinized as well...

Don’t they make a pair?
They both had their lunch money taken everyday at school. Their anger still lives.
