Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid got to sit ringside at a boxing match for free, while then lobbying congress for for the sport, which violates ethics laws. At first, Reid said that what he did was totally A-Ok, but he seems to be changing his tune.
The Nevada Senator still believes it was "entirely permissible" for him to accept ringside seats for three professional boxing matches in 2004 and 2005 from the Nevada Athletic Association but decided nonetheless decided to avoid doing so in the future, his office said.
"In light of questions that have been raised about the practice, Senator Reid will not accept these kinds of credentials in the future in order to avoid even the faintest appearance of impropriety," spookesman Jim Manley said.
Obviously, Reid knows he screwed up here, and I hope and wish that the Ethics Committee investigates this further. But im not going to hold my breath.
