I guess the State Department is happy today to be able to say that Harry Reid is retiring. When asked if he would spend his post-Senate career as a lobbyist, Reid was somewhat undiplomatic.
“I’d rather go to Singapore and have them beat me with whips.”
That pretty much encapsulates my love/hate relationship with Harry Reid. He’s a character.
Given Reid’s recent health issues, I’d probably believe him. But then Chris Dodd said the same thing and we know how that turned out. So we’ll just have to see if Reid keeps his word.
Isn’t Singapore associated with caning more than whips?
“I’d rather go to Singapore and have them beat me with whips.”
I ALSO would have said caning!
Is this Another Mistake from ol Harry? SNARK!
Gaffe!
He’s got to be happy to get out of DC for good.
