Where Are The Magic Words?
From Brit Hume's Political Grapevine:
The mainstream media is starting to weigh in on the latest reporting about the investment practices of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Los Angeles Times Sunday reported that the Nevada Democrat paid $10,000 five years ago to obtain full control of a 160-acre parcel in northern Arizona that could be worth up to $300,000.
The Times says Reid then sponsored legislation that would have been helpful to the businessman who sold him the land. This follows an Associated Press story about another land deal a few weeks ago. Reid's office says the land deal was perfectly legitimate.
But a Chicago Tribune editorial is titled, "Harry Reid, Land Shark" and calls the sale "unseemly." The Orlando Sentinel's editorial is titled "No Role Model" and says — "if they are serious about ethics, Senate Democrats need to find a more deserving standard bearer." The New York Sun calls it "Reid's whitewater" and "a corker of a controversy."
Come on, GOP. Why aren't we hearing about the hearings that should be taking place regarding Harry Reid's fitness for leadership? Are you going to let him get away with this? Lord knows what would be happening if it were one of YOU! Don't expect much more out of the press regarding this, what you see above will probably be the extent of their "hard-hitting reporting." It's time for you to be hard-hitting and slap this idiot down.
