I don't like Harry Reid, but this accusation that he is somehow responsible for this scandal is complete partisan bullshit. He was protecting his constituents, many of whose livelihoods thrive on tourism, from an over zealous federal policy and damaging comments by the president to the most populous part of the state he represents. He didn't tell the GSA to come out to Vegas and blow almost a billion dollars in taxpayer money. He simply told the president to shut up and stop telling people not to come to Las Vegas because it was putting the people of his state out of work.
