Harry the Gambler Reid, Busted!

Yet somehow the is a lack of news about it from the MSM.

from JoeUser Forums
Happy the hypocrite got busted taking BRIBES in the guise of Three sets of boxing match tickets, while doing an investigation into, what else? corruption in Boxing!

Of course Senator Reid sees nothing wrong with what he did and excuses it with " I got these tickets" so I could further investigate
corruption in what is his home states second largest revenue, Gambling being the first.

I am amazed that Reid who has been so outspoken and sanctimonious while decrying the Bribed taken by Republicans would just be willing to accept tickets to a boxing match given to him by promoters, promoters being the ones that profit the most from boxing, besides the combatants themselves.
RETRACTION!!!! IT WAS NOT POROMOTERS IT WAS A STATE SANCTION BOARD, OK BAKER? FOR gODS SAKE.
What is more amazing is the almost total lack of coverage from the left leaning news outfits, which as we all know make up around 90% of the news organizations.

If this was, lets say Tom Delay it would be front pages news and we would be seeing much wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth from the hypocratic party. The hypocrats best known these days for there total lack of insight into mainstream America they are also known for being the most obstructionist party to even hold political office.

Reply By: Dr. GuyPosted: Wednesday, May 31, 2006Given that he does deal with the gaming commissions in his job, and making reasons to go to these events would be pretty easy, we should be happy someone other than the Federal government is paying for it. Let the state folks there pay for $1400 tickets. It would suck if that was on the Fed's dime.One word.Casino.


I said this before, reid was a professionaal boxer and later a referee, he needed more information about the fight game like a bull needs tits.

That's what the UN commission was grilled for when they didn't bother visiting Gitmo. Sometimes in politics you have to at least make an attempt to appear to give a damn about a subject before making an unpopular decision. Had he avoided the fights the next election would have been full of "...passed laws without bothering to even..."

P.S. Again, it was the STATE gaming commission that invited Reid and McCain to the fight and reserved their seats, not promoters. All a promoter would have done was arrange getting a pass to them. Thus:

"would just be willing to accept tickets to a boxing match given to him by promoters, promoters being the ones that profit the most from boxing, besides the combatants themselves."


...remains innacurate and does a disservice to the issue, blog, and blogger, imho.

The commission has several seats reserved for judges and people from the commission at every fight. Supposedly it is illegal to sell tickets to areas reserved for the state gaming commission. I don't know who McCain mailed money to, but whoever accepted it was selling seats that are illegal to sell, and it will probably get someone fired.

I do not feel like i have to print a retraction on this matter. But as I said I will make sure to get my facts straight in the future.

I have a feeling if this were a Dem blogger and Reid a Republican, you'd question the lack of a retraction, or at least deride it to no ends.
