#2 Harry Reid, Jon Corzine and other cronies that got away in 2012

[Fox News, 12 Dec 2012] For Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.), politics is a family business. And when it comes to doling out the federal goodies to favored friends, few can compete with the Nevada senator. Sen. Reid has sponsored at least $47 million in earmarks that directly benefitted organizations that one of his sons, Key Reid, [RW1] either lobbies for or is affiliated with.

Recently, another of Sen. Reid’s sons, Rory Reid, helped Chinese energy giant ENN Energy Group make headway on its plan to build a $5 billion solar panel plant on a 9,000 acre plot in Nevada. And according to Reuters, this year Sen. Reid attempted to “pressure Nevada’s largest power company, NV Energy, to sign up as ENN’s first customer.”

Not surprisingly, both father and son deny that they are working in tandem to further the family interests. “I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff,” says Rory Reid. Likewise, Sen. Reid’s spokesperson says he never talks to his son about the $5 billion deal he’s working on for his Chinese client.

#5 Cliven Bundy’s problem isn’t that he didn’t pay — he did — or that his cattle bother tortoises — they don’t — it’s that he’s not a Reid donor.

That's the crux of Bundy's problem. The Chicago Way has been exported to Nevada via Reid--or maybe Reid just came up with "Corruption Central" all by himself although he doesn't seem smart enough. Bundy didn't pay protection to the Washington mob.

#6 "I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff," said Rory Reid. Kristen Orthman, a spokeswoman for the senator, said he had not discussed the project with his son.

So you mean they just sit around the dinner table and talk about...what...the price of whores?

#8 Reid and the rest of these bastids are rushing to cash in their remaining chips prior to losing the Senate. Unfortunately, we're likely to see more escapades of the Harry Reid & Son, Mike and Kristi Clemens Rogers sort in the coming months.
