Politico is reporting that former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is dead at the age of 82.
Politico – […] Reid, who was the longest-serving senator in Nevada‘s history, had been battling pancreatic cancer. His wife, Landra Reid, released a statement Tuesday night, calling her husband a “devout family man and deeply loyal friend.” They were married for 62 years. (more)
Did Rush call him “Dirty Harry” or “Dingy Harry”?
I miss Rush so much….
Dingy
A caller once asked Rush why he called him Dingy Harry, and this is his answer:

Mark Levine called him Harry “the body” Reid. I miss Rush every day, too. He changed my life.
After decades of learning from El Rushbo I have a void that I am still unable to fill.
I have not been back to that spot on my radio dial since.
Me too, Mike. I did listen at first to the two guys now occupying Rush’s spot (Clay and Buck??) . But, they are unlistenable…(if that’s a word.) I had hoped that Mark Styne would have taken over, but I know he has his own successful thing going. The point is, is that NO ONE can ever replace Rush Limbaugh. I recently did retire from working, so I no longer have a lunch hour to tune into Rush’s spot…so there’s that.
That makes two in my lifetime. Try as they might, nobody can play GD tunes like Jerry Garcia could and No one will ever replace elRushbo. I cried as a kid when Roberto Clemente died and also, when Rush passed. Only two non friends/family that have ever affected me like that. I miss Rush more than I would ever say publicly. He could have been such a powerful leader during this time in our Country.
Someone posted a cartoon that the GD was a CIA psyops.
I don’t listen anymore either and I concur,I was hoping for Mark Styne he’s smart and funny.
That would be Mark Steyn, I think. I haven’t seen him on TV or heard him on radio in several months. Anyone know what Mark Steyn is doing now?
If you go to steynonline.com, you’ll see what he’s up to. He’s also doing British TV
Totally agree, there’s nobody that can replace Rush.
Certainly not the posers that try to copy him.
You might try Andrew Wilkow (SiriusXM Patriot channel, noon-3pm EST). He is not a Rush clone and does not try to be one (to his credit). Wilkow is more in the Mark Levin department: Aggressive, smart, perceptive, Constitutionally grounded, and fearless.
I have grown tired of Levin.
Mark Levin wrote the most important book of his life about the American Marxist movement. Read that book and you may discover he is a better writer than he is a radio guy.
…and he’s a top notch radio guy….
Levin hated Trump in 2016 and supported Cruz because his fiance’s son was working for the Cruz campaign which Levin hid from his audience until forced to reveal in a crazy radio rant.
shall we post a list of all the mentally ill liberal politicians that said illegal aliens don’t belong in the united states……but now welcome them with open arms
After you left the GOP, what Party did you join? This means that you won’t get to vote out any RINOs in the Primaries. Not exactly a way to help MAGA win control of Congress, I think.
He uses his TV and radio show to promote his book non-stop. Never trust a Never-Trumper!
I would take Mark Levin as an ally any day. I never trust anyone who tells me who I can trust.
As much as I love him… so have I.
I’ll second that. He has some of the ‘tude I like so much in DJT. The same ‘tude that dives the snowflakes outta their minds. 😉
Wasn’t Levin one of the original #NeverTrump guys?
I guess he figured out that anti- Trump books don’t sell.
Yes he was. See my post above.
Get out the guns and have a circular firing squad so the Demcommies don’t have to worry about us again.
I had a dream about Rush Limbaugh just a couple nights ago. He seemed to be in good spirits, surrounded by family and friends. I miss him too.
Liberals seem to love Hollyweirds and us conservatives tear up over Rush Limbaugh..that should tell people a lot about the state of our union.
Harry Reid was the lowest most despicable slime ball alongside Piglosi I’ve ever seen. He used the Unions in Vegas to get Obama elected and was just as transparently stupid as the usurper in the White House. I often wondered how anyone could vote for these people, now I know Dominion was probably a big player.
Good riddance!
Hell had to wait too long for his shriveled ass.
Too bad PanCan took so long, he wasn’t running on Obamacare.
POS and a traitor.
God Bless Will Rogers. What a man. May he rest in peace.
I love Will Rogers quips. My favorite. “All men are ignorant, just on different subjects”
Good
Too bad the crook had not departed for the gates of Hell 30 years ago.
May LaVoy Finnicum Rest in Peace.
Amen!
Yeah, a real disappointment his murderers didn’t get the justice they deserved beginning back in 2017 on. But at the very least now we can see why that didn’t happen. –
Good riddance to him, too.
His first day in hell.
Many more to come.
Sorta plausible, but where were the clintons at the time?
Good
McConnell is just as bad as Reid, but a LOT smarter.
It’s sad that we have to wait for these beasts to die in order to be rid of them. The Uniparty is just about unassailable at this point.
Yeah, unfortunately there’s an endless supply of the same ilk who are just as bad. I can remember waiting for George Mitchell to retire. Same with Howard Metzenbaum (I live in OH). But alas, the basic situation remained the same.
Good riddance.
Me thunks I’ll just practice Grandma’s rule on the subject of Harry Reid and his death.
I love starting the day with a story that makes me smile 🙂 great day for America too bad it didn’t happen 82 years ago
Sorry but no sympathies to the widow–she fed at the trough along with him….he’s where he belongs and I’m sure that his time in the desert prepared him for his new home.
They lived seperately. Reid had lived at the Four Seasons hotel, his wife in their residential home
I guess he made enough money screwing citizens of America to be able to live in the Four Seasons Hotel, Scumbag!
The Four Seasons that is the top 5 floors of Mandalay Bay . That is owned primarily by Bill Gates investments, he used to co own with Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, Where a massacre of people occurred on floors just below that has never been explained . What a coincidence. https://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/4106589.html
Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead
As the crowd roars its approval, I stand and applaud as well.
I’ll just say the same things about reid….that the mentally ill liberals said about Justice Scalia when he passed on.
The man was sheer evil, just like Janet Reno, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.
You left out McConnell, a despicable human being.
What a puff piece. Harry was no saint. And yes, Rush called him dingy harry. He did very little for the country. He was not a role model.
He played a role in a number of political scandals that got more serious as his seniority and clout in Congress increased. he was embroiled in an influence-peddling scandal involving a Chinese “green energy” client of a Nevada law firm run by his son Rory. The senator was one of the Nevada projects most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on its behalf. Whittemore (big donor, finally went to jail) hired four of the senator’s sons at a law firm in which he served as senior partner. Reid sponsored at least $47 million in earmarks that directly benefitted organizations with close ties to one of his sons, Key Reid. Entire family is corrupt, in my opinion.
He lived a long and corrupt life. I am sure his family will miss him.
.
The candidacy of the one son for governor of NV would barely mention Rory’s last name . . .
How’s this for a eulogy? https://therionorteline.com/2021/12/29/alas-poor-harry-i-knew-him-well/#comment-155883
Prayers for his family but he was a very nasty man.
He just happened to own the land the Hoover Dam bypass was built on.
The AP’s story about Reid’s land transactions with his friend Jay Brown came out in 2006. According to the article, Reid bought what the AP called “undeveloped residential property on Las Vegas’ booming outskirts” in 1998 for about $400,000, and bought a second, adjacent parcel jointly with Brown, a former casino lawyer. In 2001, Reid sold the first parcel for the same price to a holding company that Brown created, AP said. Then in 2004, Brown’s company sold the land to other developers, and Reid got $1.1 million of the proceeds. So according to the records that AP looked at, it seemed as though Reid got his $400,000 back when he sold the land to the company in 2001, and also got $1.1 million on top of that when the company sold the land several years later, even though he no longer owned it.-Reno Gazette
There are a ton of solar panels on the land next to the bypass, I am sure his son got a cut of those as well.
The quintessential crooked career politician. Problem is he managed to spawn 3 generations of hive- minded crooked lawyers before he croaked.
History won’t be kind to Reid.
“I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”
I remember the little dance the NRA was doing during one of Reid’s elections. He had backroom deals with the NRA over an elite shooting range for their Board Members in Nevada. If memory is correct, they would not come out against him, and the rank-and-file Members were livid.
I’ve seen that sign.
But at least he will keep voting demoncrat!!!
Harry Reid, may God rest his soul. I do not have to deal with his soul, so I am at peace with his death.
I know we are supposed to be gracious because we are not the bitter left. But I’m from Nevada and all I can say is “what took you so long?”
Good riddance to a despicable piece of Senatorial trash; OTOH, will we ever know who/what beat Dingy Harry up, was it a treadmill or his very own brother?
so long to a very miserable person….The Devil, has no doubt called him the lower level
They should make a statue of him with a flat head. Let the Pigeon $hit make it round.
Good riddance. If there really is a Hell, that POS is roasting right now.
Well, I’ve certainly waited a long time (feels like a whole lifetime) to finally view this headline.
I love good news in the morning. Nanzi’s turn. NEXT!
Now we know why Las Vegas changed the name of McCarran Int’l Airport to Harry Reid Int’l Airport. If I ever go to Vegas again, I think I’ll drive.
Well…bye.
Well, now he’s finally a good communist.
Finally, another good Democrat.
Rush was the best at giving names to the virtueless democrats like “Dingy” Harry Reid. Rush Limbaugh’s voice of reason, intellect, patriotism, and graciousness will never be replaced. He was a master communicator with an unmatched command of the English language. Oh, how we miss him when he shared his calming voice over the airwaves from noon to 3 pm EST.
I personally enjoyed for the weeks that followed Rush’s passing, Todd Herman, Ken Matthews, Brett Winterble, Mark Steyn, Jason Lewis, and Bo Snerdly (James Golden) completing Rush’s show. It was a broadcasting masterpiece of talk radio. These personalities should have been on the shortlist for future Rush hour replacements. I have tried listening to the replacements (Buck and whoever) and they are boring and disappointing. Not sure who chose these voices for this coveted time slot, but the ball was dropped . So now I read and do not turn on the radio until 6:00 pm for Mark Levin.
Now he can begin is sentence in Hell.
And it’s about bloody time.
