That's not surprising. What kind of credibility can you give a newspaper that just makes up works like that? ;-)

Harry Reid Threatens a Las Vegas Newspaper
http://commonsense2020.com/2009/08/30/harry-reid-threatened-las-vegas-newspaper/
On Wednesday (August 26th) before he addressed a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) openly wished for the Las Vegas Review-Journal to “go out of business” … a newspaper which has held opposing political viewpoints with the Senator.

The comment came when Bob Brown, the Journal’s Director of Advertising met with Reid during the simple process of handshaking. Reid exclaimed to Brown: “I hope you go out of business.”

To their credit, the Journal did not take this bullying tactic lying down. Today, publisher Sherman Frederick posted an Op-Ed column in which he called Reid’s tactics childish, ugly, boorish, creepy, and asinine.
