Uncle Tom I mean Osama had a part in this too.

It was definitely a sign of desperation.

Harry Reid will not be re-elected.

it was +200 in the point book that he wouldn't win.

he is a weak pathetic piece of filth and should be tried for treason, hope he gets rectal cancer soon

Reid is garbage----we all agree, but man----Sharron Angle is a f'in lunatic.

I suppose it would be better to have a loon instead of a crook, but its a close decision.

Where the fuk do you come up with him having been portrayed in the movie Casino?!

Harry Reid has been the senator there since 1987, Casino is set in the 70's and very early 80's

I think both of them were horrible to be honest with you. I think Reid gets beat tonight because of that states high jobless rate.

d2bets · 11-03-10, 08:45 AM

Reid won. Angle just too looney.

Reid was on gaming commission at that time and there was one scene loosely based on some of his dialogue, but if you're trying to imply that the character of Senator is based on him, you're obviously wrong.

I am obviously right. Read Harry Reid's Wiki page smart guy.

This is from the Slate article that is footnoted on Reid's Wiki page:

Reid may not be the most colorful figure in Washington, but his career is far more interesting than that of the average senator. In politics, Nevada is the next best thing to Louisiana. To take just one example, is there another U.S. senator who has been part of the inspiration for a character in a Martin Scorsese film? (A character played by Dick Smothers, no less.) In Casino, Robert DeNiro's character melts down in front of the Nevada Gaming Commission after the commission denies him a license to operate a casino. The scene is loosely based on a December 1978 hearing when Reid was the commission's chairman, and some of the dialogue spoken by Smothers is taken directly from Reid's words during the hearing. (The rest of the scenes involving Smothers, who plays a composite politician known only as "Senator," have nothing to do with Reid.) OK, it's lackluster Scorsese, but at least it's not Gangs of New York. And there are other Reid echoes in Casino: Joe Pesci's character refers to a "Mr. Cleanface," which gangster Joe Agosto said was his nickname for an in-his-pocket Reid, but a five-month investigation of Agosto's claims cleared Reid of wrongdoing.

Harry Reid is a legend. Don't take cheap shots at him. He is the reason that you can go to Vegas any time of the week from all over the world and gamble on your favorite team. We gamblers need to raise him a statue and worship him.

crustyme · 11-03-10, 11:07 AM

yes, fictional characters in fictional movies are portrayed 100% factually.

scary part is this guy's vote counts.
