Our embarrassing senior Senator Reid has not only embraced the far left of the democrat party, but he now blindly supports ethically disappointing east coast appointments.  His support for the appointment of the suspiciously corrupt and crooked Menendez to the U.S. Senate is disturbing.   



According to the New York Times "Mr. Menendez has failed to answer questions about his relationship with Kay LiCausi, a young former aide of his. He has helped her get hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying contracts and political consulting work." 



By embracing Mr. Menendez, Senator Reid demonstrates that he learned nothing from the corruption scandals surrounding his protégés Erin Kenny and Dario Herrera.  Reid protégé Kenny has pled guilty to corruption charges and Reid protégé Herrera is awaiting trial after being indicted on corruption charges.  Now we have our embarrassing senior Senator further ensnaring himself in east coast puppet strings by supporting an appointee which the New York Times called disappointing.  (More details on Reid protégés Kenny and Herrera and links to the full NY Times article can be found at The Reid World, www.thereidworld.com) 



This action further demonstrates that Senator Reid values partisan politics over fundamental principles.  With each such hypocritical action, he reduces his credibility in Nevada.  He may have campaigned as being 'Independent like Nevada' but he is independent no more.
