Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spent 40 minutes on the phone Friday morning with Democratic elected officials, answering questions about the government shutdown and reminding them that those anarchists in the House are holding up everything.
“I think he was trying to explain to people how we got where we are and where we are now,” said state Treasurer Kate Marshall, who was on the call along with every other Democratic constitutional officer, a few lawmakers and local government officials...
Good morning, everyone. “Harry Reid does not want to compromise at all,” Manu Raju, the estimable Politico congressional reporter said this morning on “The Daily Rundown.” And on Reid and John Boehner: “They hate each other.” Well, that all bodes well, n-est-ce pas?
Raju also pointed viewers to this Politico piece on the four feuding leaders. In that story, Reid is said to have called the speaker a “coward” more than once. Worth the click, dear Flashees.
What’s below: Cloudy in Sandoville,...
Good morning, everyone What’s worse – being heartless or dirty? Such is the dilemma facing Senate Majority Leader Harry “I am not a criminal” Reid this morning, after a MSNBC story (with a quote from your favorite Flasher) and the GOP trying to exploit this videowith a HeartlessHarry Twitter hashtag. The video controversy is nonsense and emblematic of what this debate is all about now: Positioning. But give the GOP ammunition to pummel the Democrats’ No. 1 hit man, and Republicans will fire...

What is striking about the story is a highly unusual quote from Gov. Brian Sandoval. The relevant section: “The constant focus on Congressional and White House bickering especially annoys Republican governors who feel that the party can take back the White House in 2016 if they nominate one of their...
The Retailers Association of Nevada on Thursday released a survey that touched on a variety of issues, including taxes.
The poll seems to show that voters are divided over the teachers union's margin tax, which RAN opposes. But that's really not what it illuminates, although it does bring other phenomena to light.
It's worth noting that the poll, conducted by Moore Information of 500 Nevada voters in late September, was withdrawn by the Associated Press late Thursday because Moore is a GOP...
Once again in the eye of the storm, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is being profiled, lampooned and eviscerated in the national media.
Just Thursday, two new sketches of Reid appeared in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal as well as one on MSNBC.com.
So in my neverending quest to be helpful to my DC friends, and as the state's (nay the world's!) foremost Reidologist, I have prepared a handy guide of essential elements for a Prince Harry profile:
1. He was a boxer! This lends...
