The nickname “Dirty” was well-earned by the late Sen. Harry Reid. He was a masterfully corrupt and manipulative politician who would lie through his devilish smile to achieve his political ends. Case in point was the lie he admitted telling, as the Washington Post relates, in 2012 about Mitt Romney, an attempt to influence the presidential results:
One of the strangest incidents of the 2012 presidential campaign was when then-Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid accused then-Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney of having not paid any taxes over the past decade. That Reid made that allegation from the floor of the Senate made it even odder.
The problem with Reid's allegation? It's just not true. We know that, at least in 2011 and 2010, Romney did pay taxes. How do we know that? Because Romney released his tax returns for those years. In 2011, Romney paid $1.9 million in taxes; in 2010, he paid slightly more than $3 million in taxes.
Our own Fact Checker gave Reid Four Pinocchios for his "no taxes" claim. PolitiFact gave the claim a "Pants on Fire" rating.
Yet Reid (D-Nev.) not only refuses to retract the allegation but also seems to take great pride in it. When pressed by CNN's Dana Bash last year about continuing to defend a statement that is not true, Reid responded, "Romney didn't win, did he?"

Dirty Harry Reid is not in the same league as Dirty harry Eastwood ...
One is an honorable decent man and its not Reid ...
It’s not “Dirty Harry,” It’s “Dingy Harry.”
Yeah, well, Romney didn't die, neither.
So embrace the suck, Harry.
Yeah...Romney also did not get his a$$ kicked by an exercise machine...so there’s that!
I head it as Dingey Harry.
Never heard anyone refer to him as “dirty”
Although he was in the worst sense of the word.
He’s probably scream’n Harry now..for eternity.
It’s DINGY HARRY, courtesy Rush Limbaugh.
Harry was DIRTY, but Brennan is DISGUSTING FILTHY!
Reid and Brennan have both done a lot of harm to America under the guise of politics.
I didn’t realize that snakes ever died...
I wonder if John McPain met Dingy Harry at the Pearly Gates and showed him the way to where he would be spending eternity.
And it wasn’t through those gates.
“The nickname “Dirty” was well-earned by the late Sen. Harry Reid”
I wonder if the late “Dirty Harry” now regrets that title?
