Corruption in the Senate

For John, BLUF:  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid covers for sleazy Democrats.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Over at The Daily Called (TheDC) we have comments on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the one who infamously accused Gvernor Mitt Romney of cheating on his taxes.♠  Senator Reid has apparently punted on accusations that Senator Bob Mendenez Larry Craig (R) was having sex with underage girls.  That is a step up from Tuesday:

On Tuesday Reid was more combative and actively protected Menendez Craig, lashing out at TheDC for reporting on the allegations against the New Jersey Democrat. (RELATED VIDEO: Reid attacks Daily Caller over prostitutes’ allegations against Menendez Craig)

“I always consider the source,” Reid said, referring to TheDC, “and all anyone here has to look at is the source where this comes from. It’s — it’s a source that has brought up a lot of non-issues.”

Asked later for clarification, Reid’s office confirmed that he was attacking TheDC.

I bring this up to mention that Fox news reporter Geraldo Rivera is thinking of running for the New Jersey Senate seat, apparently assuming it will soon be vacant.  I know the article says he would be running for Senator Frank 's seat, but really, there will be an opening sooner.  It is like dominoes.  Secretary of State Clinton resigns and Senator Kerry takes over, opening up the Chairmanship of the "powerful" Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which exposes the Junior Senator from New Jersey to the light of day.  On the other hand, the famous aphorism is "dead girl or live boy".♥
