Devout Mormons are like boy scouts but more so ... he never cheated on anything. Harry Reid on the other hand came from a family known for stealing horses. Of course, he's cheated on his taxes.

'Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.'



I'll admit internet sites claim thats an urban legend. Of course, that might not even be his relative. Harry Reid was born in Searchlight NV. His purported father (also named Harry Reid) was a miner and his mother was a laundress in the El Rey Bordello. She took to laundry work after she was too old for whoring.
