ACU Files Ethics Complaint Against Harry Reid; Advocacy Group Says Minorit
ACU Files Ethics Complaint Against Harry Reid; Advocacy Group Says MinorityLeader Guilty of Gross Violation; Leahy and Levin Also Named

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The American Conservative Union, the nations oldest and largest conservative grassroots organization, yesterday filed an ethics complaint against Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). The complaint comes in response to Sen. Reid's May 12th reference to judicial nominee Henry Saad's confidential FBI file on the floor of the United States Senate.

"Henry Saad would have been filibustered anyway...," said Reid on the floor of the Senate. "All you need to do is have a member go upstairs and look at his confidential report from the FBI, and I think we would all agree that there is a problem there."

According to Senate rules, Reid was prohibited from even accessing the FBI file, let alone publicly discussing the information held within. ACU filed the complaint with Ethics Committee Chairman George Voinovich (R-OH). The complaint also cites recent improper referencing of confidential materials by Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Carl Levin (D-MI).

4. Good! Demand a hearing Harry! Make sure you bring the story from
that rightwing douschebag (all apologies to real douschebags) that wrote the article about Reid "outing" a secret FBI file and the other article by the same RWDouschebag that outed the secret FBI file on the same Judge Saad from a few months earlier! Make sure they subopoena the RWD's sorry ass too!

Woohooo! Where's that damn popcorn smilie!
