Sen. Reid Lets It All Out

Wow, never thought I'd hear this from a Senate Majority Leader, "[a]s a boy, I learned to swim at a whorehouse." Sen. Reid, plugging his new book "The Good Fight" gives us a story of a kid who grew up with no religion, in a former mining town turned prostitution town, and the son of parents who

both drink too much. My father'll drink until he runs out of money. Sometimes they get loaded and whoop it up. Once or twice, Pop has run afoul of the law. One night after his shift, my dad and his brother Rob get in a fight down in the bars and when they come out the cops are waiting for them. They beat Pop on the head with a sap, a hard leather pouch filled with BBs, and then haul him to jail in Las Vegas. My dad has a nice new scar on his head to show for his night out.

Sounds like a fascinating read.
