MUTH’S TRUTHS
Did anyone see either member of the Reid Dynasty at the Nevada Day Parade on Saturday? Me, neither. I wonder where our NEVADA U.S. Senator was on NEVADA Day?
Oh, here he was, courtesy of The Hill:
“Washington’s political, media and defense elites mingled at the opening night of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire.’ . . . Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who was seated in the president’s box, mingled with other members of Washington’s power elite, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, The New York Times’ David Sanger and Maureen Dowd, Brookings’ Thomas Mann and the American Enterprise Institute’s Norm Ornstein.”
Yeah, that beats the heck out of spending NEVADA Day in NEVADA with NEVADANS.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
- “Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly told fellow Democrats that she’s prepared to lose seats in 2010 if that’s what it takes to pass ObamaCare, and little wonder. The health bill she unwrapped last Thursday, which President Obama hailed as a “critical milestone,” may well be the worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced.” – Wall Street Journal editorial, 11/2/09
- “You will remember that Democrats (in, always hungry to spend more of someone else’s money, sought to raise taxes in the worst way, and the only obstacle between them and more misery for the people was Gov. Gibbons and his constitutionally empowered veto pen.” – Las Vegas Review-Journal editor Sherman Frederick
- “Controller Kim Wallin has hired Mary Keating, who alleges she was forced from her job by the governor because he suspected her of leaking information about his text messages. Wallin has hired Keating as the stimulus reporting and accountability officer. This comes after all the friction between the two constitutional officers over who controls the stimulus money. And now Wallin hires the woman suing Gibbons? Only in Nevada.” – Jon Ralston, Flash, 11/2/09
- “Sue Lowden is a front-runner, so is Danny Tarkanian. I think you put us up there in that conversation, along with (former Assemblywoman) Sharon Angle and (State Sen.) Mark Amodei. There’s a pathway for five candidates to win that race right now.” – Ryan Erwin, consultant to Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Chachas
Yeah Chachas goes right up there with the others who donated to Barack Obama’s Presidential Campaign. Didn’t every Republican Senatorial Candidate donate $2,300 to Obama’s campaign besides Chacha’s. Oh that’s right Sue Lowden and Husband donated $8,000 to Harry Reid.
Why do millionaires play both sides of the fence. Maybe that is why they call them Millionaire Moderates or is that Limousine Liberals. Hard to tell them apart unless one is paying you.
