Harry Reid... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority leader ...
... rumored by some to be guilty of pederasty, but you know how rumors get started when someone starts spouting on and on ...,
D-Nev., regarding the Washington Post's report today that he intends to retire at the end of his current term:
Response from Reidworld to Milbank-fueled speculation: "The is purely baseless speculation. Of course he is running again."
That would indicate that Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank simply erred when he wrote in his column today:
Reid, who won reelection in 2010 and doesn't plan to run for office again, is happy to absorb blows in return -- and they have been ferocious.
Milbank's claim was eyebrow-raising because the majority leader had not previously given any indication he plans to step down. No word so far from Milbank on whether he stands by his claim or this was a simple goof.
