In the Meantime....

Democrats can now have a scandal to call their own:
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.

The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing -- except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.

Wonder what the media and the left-wing bloggers are going to say about this. But this certainly does not help any Democratic calls that they are going to clean up Congress. Because clearly, the Democrats are no better (if not worse) in the scandal department than Republicans.
