Reid is the one who shouldn't have his name on anything.

So, what's he going to do about the major road in Reno named "McCarran Blvd."???

I wonder if that includes the Grand Kleagel Robert Byrd

Now it starts in Vegas!

When I grew up in Atlanta, many streets were named for Confederate Leaders and Generals and other Civic Leaders.

Now those names have been changed to Black Icons.

Reid will probably pull off this name change.

Probably .0001% of anybody knows who in hell McCarran was in the first place so who cares? Las Vegas is nothing more than a sheethole with rhinestones and glitter anyway.
I wouldn’t put Harry Reid’s name on an outhouse.

Senator Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) was instrumental in exposing Soviet espionage while he headed the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. It’s interesting that Reid—who sits in his seat—dislikes him so intensely.

I believe Sammy Davis was a Republican. Maybe the airport will be named for Owen Lattimore, one of McCarran's "victims."

In Godfather II? When I saw it, I thought the inspiration was Alan Bible (D-Nev.) or maybe George "Molly" Malone (R-Nev.), but Geary's personality didn't correspond to either one's.
