Roughing up Harry Reid

Standing 8 Count

Bob Geiger over at AlterNet has his take on the issue of Reid accepting tickets to a couple of sold-out fights. Barbara Boxer told reporters Harry should have paid for the tickets. (In other developments, Boxer also announced she will be introducing a resolution calling for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq "within six months or at the earliest practicable date.")

Apparently Fox News has taken the reports about Reid's acceptance of tickets as being tantamount to accepting cash from Jack Abramoff. The good people over at News Hounds have taken the time to explicate the real news from the propaganda over at Fox.

Tim Chapman over at Townhall believes Harry Reid has more serious troubles than accepting a few free tickets. The folks over at Hot Air appear to believe that a few boxing tickets aren't all that interesting as compared to their belief that Reid is "in the mix" of the Abramoff investigation.

Update: Harry Reid won't be accepting anymore free tickets cause he doesn't want his legal activities to be confused with the illegal activities of those individuals currently being investigated and/or indicted and/or convicted of said illegal activities.
