BREAKING: Harry Reid Blasts Republican Corruption
Washington, DC – While Republicans
try to provide cover from their culture of corruption, Senate Democratic Leader
Harry Reid released the following report and statement on Republicans' abuse
of power: “The idea of Republicans reforming themselves is like asking
John Gotti to clean up organized crime. I thought I’d seen the last of
corruption when I helped clean up Las Vegas thirty years ago. But, while its
not quite the mafia of Las Vegas in the 1970s, what is happening today in Washington
is every bit as corrupt and the consequences for our country have been just
as severe. “Some problems have no legislative fix, and the Republican
culture of corruption is one of them. Today’s announcements by House and
Senate Republicans should be taken at face value – minor wrist slapping
and good public relation stunts by the same people responsible for this mess.
Democrats will lead the tough reforms, because we owe it to the American people
to stand up for their interests over special interests. Are we really going
to believe that Republicans will stop answering the calls from their friends
on K Street? Are they really going to put seniors ahead of drug companies when
it comes reforming Medicare? Are they really going to help families over oil
companies when it comes to gas prices? The answer to these questions is no,
and that’s why the American people trust Democrats to clean up Washington
and put their interests first.” Harry
Reid
The Democrats are blasting the Republicans right now. It's a beautiful
thing. It's live on C-SPAN, but the other networks aren't covering it right
now, though MSNBC did offer the introduction by Reid. Mind you, if Terror Guy
was giving a speech all the cable networks would have it up front and center.
I'll be back after Barack Obama speaks, which is big. Reid announced he would
speak even though he was dead last in seniority until today. Pelosi is speaking now. more soon…
