Reid gives ethics a left hook
Looks like that ole' case of liberal double-standards has reared it's ugly head again...Reid Attended Boxing Matches Paid By Nevada Athletic Commission

The way I see it, Harry 'dangerously incompetent' Reid clearly violated Senate ethics rules.
The Nevada Athletic Commission was obviously trying to influence Reid on his legislation to federalize the regulation of boxing. (A Democrat trying to grow the federal government? Never!) And Reid, one of the biggest ethics hound dogs in the Senate, took multiple tickets to sporting events he doesn't hide from having an interest in.
And yet, Reid has been the biggest accuser of ethics issues in our government, going as far to suggest Republicans are fostering a culture of corruption. But when the corruption falls in his lap, he gladly accepts the tickets and now defends his actions.
He should have paid attention to those corrupt Republicans who paid for their tickets or recused themselves from the legislation. Now he's nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black. And I'm waiting to see which Republican with a backbone will call it like it is.
