HARRY REID GETS A TASTE AS LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!

Senator Reid victim of identity theft
About $2,000 charged to minority leader's MasterCard

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid discovered this week he was the victim of identity theft after someone used his MasterCard number to charge about $2,000 at a Wal-Mart and other stores in Monroe, North Carolina.

The Nevada Democrat said he found out someone had obtained the number after opening his bill Tuesday night.

"It's not a tremendous inconvenience for me," he said. "I won't have to pay it."

But Reid said he is steamed about the fact the perpetrator likely will never be caught. "Something has to be done," he said, holding up his now-deactivated card.

Reid said he does not know how someone obtained the number or whether he has been the victim of a broader identity theft -- a problem that affects millions of Americans every year."

Identity theft is a serious problem and one that is growing. I cannot help but wonder though:

(a) How does it feel, Senator Reid, to suffer the kinds of problems the rest of us deal with daily? Oh, it isn't going to inconvenience you at all? Well, sir, it inconveniences us in myriad ways - so once again, you just aren't one of your constituents by any means, are you?

(b) Harry, I believe the people who are responsible for the "something" that has to be done are - let me think - YOU you worthless p.o.s.!

Clearly I do not feel sorry for Senator Harry Reid.

They stole his identity? I would think that it is punishment enough to be identified as Harry Reid.
