Reid: I'm not Corrupt, and I'm Keeping the Money
How is that again, Harry?
"Don't lump me in with Jack Abramoff. This is a Republican scandal," Reid told Fox News Sunday, saying he never received any money from Abramoff.Reid, like many members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, has received campaign contributions from Abramoff clients. Some lawmakers have returned those donations, but Reid gave no indication he would do so.
He never received any money, and he won't give back the money he didn't take in the first place. What is the definition of a honest politician again?
CY, it's the two sets of rules thingy! You know..., only Republicans can be corrupt; Democrats have a momentary lapse of judgment - like Chappaquiddick.

It was too funny watching him try to dodge the question the first time, and get really pissed when Wallace repeated the question, forcing him to answer :)
Chris Wallace rocks.

He always seemed to manage to work in the fact he'd grown up poor in Searchlight and had spent most of his adult life in service to Nevada. Since he became a multi-millionaire in the process one can't help but wonder just who he was really serving.
