How can Sen. Harry Reid (D - WBC) stand so close to the sainted Barrack Obama and it not rub off? Why it was a mere 5 months ago when he stood there with the annointed and begged the Republicans to join him in cleaning up government. A reminder Senator, if you have to ask if something is ethical then there’s a good chance you should stay away from it. Accepting $1400 boxing tickets when you are about to vote on related legislation is proably close to the line. Even if you voted against the lobby it kind of smells when the legislation was subsequently never enacted.

If there is no problem with accepting the comp tickets then why issue a statement saying you’ll never take them again? As with most politicians, it never crosses their mind until they are caught. So much for the “culture of corruption” line.
