Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called himself a “one-man wrecking crew” on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s refusal to release his tax returns and warned of “17 angry old white men” spending vast sums on political advertising as he tried to rouse Carson City to vote for Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley and President Barack Obama.

Reid told a packed room in Carson City on Monday that Romney was a “plastic man running for president who changes his position every chance he gets. He isn’t someone who should represent this country.”

In an interview after his speech, Reid said he would try to work with Republican Sen. Dean Heller after the election on issues such as Internet poker, noting his good working relationship with former Sen. John Ensign. But if Berkley wins, he predicted the Senate would not proceed with the House Ethics Committee investigation that has dogged her during the campaign.

Reid called the investigation into whether Berkley advocated for policies that would financially benefit her family “politically driven nonsense.”

Jerry Sandusky also called himself a "one-man wrecking crew", and like Sandusky, Reid has never admitted to being a pedophile.

Dingy, Harry Reid must fancy himself a Democrat Party John Sununu.

Not even close.

Nothing

Well, he's been a one-man wrecking crew in the U.S. Senate.  I'm surprised he has any time left to wreck anything else.

You mean those tax returns that have been scrutinized by IRS with an electron microscope in a cheesy way to play "gotcha!"?

And IRS has said, regarding those tax returns, NOTHING?

Nothing at all. Unlike Timmy Geithner, who is likely one of the more egregious examples of a tax cheat sitting at senior executive level.

Tell me, Einstein, how does Romney's tax returns stack up to Geithner's?

Harry Reid or Philly Eagles Coach Andy Reid?

Both are almost laughably inept.

He's hiding the deductions he DIDN'T take, that ended up with him PAYING MORE than his LEGAL REQUIREMENT. Sounds like he pays his "fair share", doesn't it?

If I were Harry, I'd stay away from any possible 'ball' narrative opportunities as much as possible.
