Harry Reid = Elite?

Paying $750K for a condo at the Ritz, is a bit extreme, though out of pocket. Why not a small house? Back in 2005 he paid his "staff" bonuses out of Campaign funds. Um, how did he ever get to be Majority Leader?

Though he paid it back, why didn't the Ethics Committee slap his ass down? Republicans were in charge then. Maybe they thought a really big slap was "over kill"? Or they bargained to keep things mild, because of the Tom Daschel(SP?) issue that was happening at the same time?

I dunno, but Reid staying at the fucking Ritz has me raising the question of some transparency, over the Congress' expenses.  How much are WE paying for?  We know (see earlier post) the cost of Congress is spiraling upward, at a time it should be waning.

At this point, if Nevada sends Sharron (who spells it that way?) or Harry to Washington, I (a Dem) won't be happy.  I can however revel in the fact, that the Ritz won't let Sharron Angel stay there.  No cages for coo coos.
