Overheard in Washington, D.C.

Harry Reid

"Yes, the rumors are true: there is not a single member of Congress with even the slightest grasp on the reality America's citizens experience daily. On the other hand, you keep electing us. Think about this: you hear a lot about all the things Congress HASN'T done, or NEEDS to do, but when is the last time you actually heard of us DOING something?"

Harry Reid (D-Nevada), Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate, a man who historically never introduces legislation his favorite lobbyists don't request. His personal worth is estimated at somewhere between $3 and $10 million. Reed scowls a lot because his dear friend and coworker Mitch McConnell has a net worth FIVE TIMES that of Reid—who is no pauper.
