Well, I'm certainly glad that Washington has been cleaned up to the point that even legal gifts to lawmakers are now under close scrutiny. The John Solomon article for AP does just that as he looks into boxing tickets that Harry Reid accepted from the Nevada Athletic Commission while he was pursuing legislation that was against their interest.
Reid broke no laws or ethic regulations as the Senate's rules allow lawmakers to receive gifts from federal, or state and local governments, but of course Solomon finds some ethics experts (3) to claim that Reid should have paid for the tickets.
The whole thing is crap.
Note: I don't exerpt from AP articles, but you can read the whole thing here.
