Cunningham is in prison. He took millions in bribes in exchange for defence contracts, along with Duncan Hunter who is not indicted yet but still serves as the head of the Armed Services Committee. That man should be voted out now. There is no evidence Reid has ever taken a bribe of any kind. The tipping the doorman is simply a possible mis-use of campaign funds, a small technicality. Or maybe not if Reid ran any campaign operations out of that building. If he did, it's legit. Here's real corruption though. In 2000-2001 Enron let the Bush-Cheney campaign use their private jets for free. They were caught and had to pay Enron back, though only for the cost of commercial plane tickets. Enron also let Rove run B-C operations out of Enron HW and gave religious right organizer Ralph Reed $150,000 to work for Bush-Cheney. Reed has now been caught taking a 1.5 million bribe from Abramoff. There is a huge difference between gross Bushie corruption and Reid's technicalities. That said, Reid should watch it. He should realize they are watching him. But should Democrats be watching Nevada's other senator, Ensign, a man with a reputation for being corrupt?
