Harry Reid Unbound: A Conspiracy of Seventeen Old White Venal Men Is Putting In Their Dentures To Feast on the Meal of America They've Purchased

The balls on this guy.

"We feel comfortable in the Senate," he said. "Where the problem is, is this: Because of the Citizens United decision, Karl Rove and the Republicans are looking forward to a breakfast the day after the election. They are going to assemble 17 angry old white men for breakfast, some of them will slobber in their food, some will have scrambled eggs, some will have oatmeal, their teeth are gone. But these 17 angry old white men will say, 'Hey, we just bought America. Wasn't so bad. We still have a whole lot of money left.'"

I didn't fucking get invited. Is there bacon? I like the eggs Benedict too. Will there be Hollandaise?

Then he goes on to say he "heard" from someone he can't name that Romney is a fugitive from the IRS. But the IRS doesn't know about it yet. Just Romney himself, and Harry Reid.

Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.

"Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years," Reid recounted the person as saying.

"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid. "But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?

"You guys have said his wealth is $250 million," Reid went on. "Not a chance in the world. It's a lot more than that. I mean, you do pretty well if you don't pay taxes for 10 years when you're making millions and millions of dollars."

I like how he says "I have no idea if this thing I just made up is true" but then says, "Hey, do the math, you don't pay taxes for ten years, you're sitting pretty, right?"

Prediction: The press will be far more interested in this made-up "I heard a story" claim than Obama's well-documented felonious property swap with convicted political fixer and bagman Tony Rezko.

Yeah I'm winning that one, eh?

By the way: He attributes this story to an "investor" at Bain. And you know, when someone invests in your company, naturally you share your personal income tax information with him. I mean, that's industry standard.

Harry Reid

I can smell my gray old balls from up here. They smell like Gold Bond powder and shame.

Thanks to "interested."

And because Harry Reid is such a vile creature, here now a porcupine with the hiccups.
