Democratic Senator Harry Reid has had enough of hookers and wants the “oldest profession” finally banned in Nevada. In a speech to the Nevada state legislature, Reid advised that outlawing prostitution is the key to Nevada’s economic recovery, a suggestion which, at best, received a tepid applause.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is not happy with President Obama and specifically with one line from the State of the Union address. When the President warned both parties that he vows to veto any bill with earmarks in it, Reid remarked, “the President thinks this will help him a little bit. More power to him, it’s just wrong.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid– who almost lost his job in a tight race against Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle– seems much more confident in the challenge the Democrats face from that faction now than ever before. In a preview for an exclusive interview with Meet the Press‘s David Gregory airing tomorrow, Reid contends that the Tea Party will be a thing of the past as soon as his Congress can fix the economy– a goal not so far off the horizon.

There is a well accepted maxim in any sort of negotiation technique that states that its always best to let your adversary believe they’ve got the better end of the deal. This comes to mind after hearing the following interview between Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in which the Senator claims that it was Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) that got the better end of recent lame-duck session legislation, and not his own Grand Old Party.

Senator Harry Reid, savvy observer and creator of culture that he is, responded to those who claim they have not had enough time to read through the START treaty by emailing a list of all the events that have transpired since the President Barack Obama and Russian Dmitry Medvedev agreed on START back in April. So what important cultural happenings made their way onto his list?

Bill O’Reilly proudly declared on last night’s Factor, “you want action? You’ve come to the right place.” O’Reilly was referring to the fact that on his Thursday night show he encouraged viewers to contact their elected officials and express discontent with the pork-filled omnibus spending bill. When combined with his railing against the huge amounts of proposed congressional spending throughout the week, O’Reilly congratulated his viewers for effectively putting enough pressure on their elected officials to drop their support of the bill.

Last night the U.S. Senate voted on a bill that will extend the current Tax Cuts first put into place by President Bush after Senator Harry Reid appeared to capitulate to the threat of a Republican filibuster. This appeared to frustrate, if not anger MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow last night, and not only because it messed up the rundown of her show. It understandably irked the self-described progressive because it was just another example of, as she put it, “this phenom of passing bills in the house only to see it die in the Senate.”

Sean Hannity welcomed Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele onto his program tonight to talk about recent events in Congress, as well as take a look at his party’s future – and his own, in the wake of his controversial decision to seek re-election as RNC chair.

Rush Limbaugh is not happy with Democratic leaders calling the GOP “hostage takers.” He responded by calling them some names of his own like “gangsters,” comparing them to Al Capone, and, for the kicker, “terrorists.” Uh oh. Don’t we know the problem with exaggerations like that?

In the game of neighborhood kickball that is the American government, Republican Senators have just stuck their tongues out, taken the ball home, and effectively ended the game. In a letter signed by all 42 Republicans currently in office, they’ve pledged to block every piece of legislation that comes through in this session until the Bush-era tax cuts are extended. Gosh, can’t these kids get along? This is worse than the argument they had on whether or not to use a ghost runner on third.

This weekend, the University of Nevada won a big upset against Boise State. It was an exciting upset and a great game between conference rivals. Why am I discussing this here and not over at SportsGrid? Well, because Harry Reid decided to spend five minutes telling the story today to kick off the last session of 2010. That’s one way to spend a lame duck session.

In the mood for some dirt on the midterms? You’re in luck—yesterday, Shira Toeplitz of Politico published a long postmortem of Sharron Angle‘s campaign, which was apparently as poorly-organized and ineffective as Harry Reid‘s was compelling.

Harry Reid‘s surprising victory over Sharron Angle may turn out to be the one bright spot in an otherwise fairly dire night for the Dems. So really who can blame John Kerry for being jubulent and wanting to rub everyone’s face in it. And by everyone we really mean the media, which has been gleefully predicting an Angle win for weeks now.

In a big blow to the tea party, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid will defeat challenger Sharron Angle – and it looks like it could be by five or six points.

In a night of many GOP victories, the media, almost across the board, agreed it was a “huge win” for Democrats and “disastrous” for Republicans.

The polls have yet to close in Nevada, but looks there are some allegations of foul play. Already! Politco reports that the Sharron Angle campaign has filed a complaint against the Harry Reid campaign. Angle is accusing the Senate Majority Leader of illegal voter intimidation.

For reasons unclear Glenn Beck decided to wait until 5pm on midterm election night to devote time to running down the list of candidates and expound to his audience on the importance of voting. Here’s how he described the Nevada race between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle.

SNL opened last night with a sketch spoofing President Obama (Fred Armisen) making a campaign stop in Nevada to stump for a struggling Harry Reid (Paul Brittain). After a glowing introduction from Obama, Reid asks him if he’d mind if he distanced himself from the President. “Do what you have to do, Harry, I’ve got your back,” says Obama. Whereupon Reid reveals that he is actually a Birther

There comes a point when listening to Rush Limbaugh that one wonders how people like Jon Stewart stay in the business of satire when it’s impossible to parody the real thing This one takes a little bit of work to keep up with, but it ends with “fallen angel” Harry Reid squaring off with “Imam Obamadinejad,” so the topic seems to be fairly plausible Election Day predictions.

Ever get the feeling that television pundits are more adept at “playing the part” than sharing their honest thoughts and ideas? Well the following video clip of Alan Colmes vigorous defense of Harry Reid‘s spokesman’s statement on Reid’s comment that “but for (him), we’d be in a worldwide depression,’ may support that notion. As host Megyn Kelly was teasing to a commercial (and showing the new dancing Barney Frank advert), Colmes thinks that his microphone is off, and privately shares an aside that’s very different from the rhetoric he’d espoused just a minute earlier.

Senator Harry Reid finds himself in a fight for his political life against GOP opponent Sharron Angle, but he may have made the odds for getting reelected as Senator a little tougher with recent comments that have drawn cackles from his critics. During an interview with MSNBC host Ed Schultz, Reid made the rather stunning claim that “but for me, we’d be in a worldwide depression.” Wait. Say what?

>I guess what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Nevada Republican Sharron Angle is accusing her opponent, Senator Harry Reid, of pushing the Las Vegas Sun to change a headline—one that originally lauded Angle as the winner of last Thursday’s Senatorial candidates debate. Alex Pappas of The Daily Caller writes that Angle made the accusation in an email sent to her allies.

At a meeting with Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R-NV) Friday, members of Rancho High School’s Hispanic Student Union quizzed Angle about the racially-charged imagery in her campaign ads, and recorded the session on cellphone cameras. Angle’s odd defense included the claim that her ads actually featured swarthy Canadians, and that she couldn’t even tell if the assembled students were Latino, then finished her thought by observing that many of the students in the audience “look a little more Asian to me.”

The ubiquitous rescued Chilean coal miners can add one more appearance to their collective resume´: the 2010 midterm election stump. Embattled Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), speaking to supporters at a Las Vegas event, compared President Obama to the survivors of the 69-day subterranean ordeal, saying “It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said ‘I am going to get us out of this hole.’”

One of the sound bites to emerge from last night’s Harry Reid vs. Sharron Angle debate has Angle telling Reid to “man up,” a popular line of attack on Reid from both sides of the political spectrum. While this kind of gender-based attack tends to generate nothing more than an “Oh, snap!” from most observers, imagine what would happen if Reid had told Angle to “act like a lady,” or if President Obama told Sarah Palin to “grow some tits?” Is Sharron Angle a sexist? And who is she really telling to “man up?”

Sen. Harry Reid debated Sharron Angle last night in Nevada, and it put on display why the Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate could lose to someone who has consistently made gaffes and odd statements during this campaign.

“Nevada Senate debate fizzles,” wrote Politico, while The Daily Caller just went with “Awkwarrrd.” The most awkward moment? Reid’s detailed description of a colonoscopy.
