Markos Moulitsas, the founder of DailyKOS, has a somewhat different take than I did on U.S. Sen. Harry Reid‘s show-us-your-papers approach to Mitt Romney‘s taxes.

Legislature pushes toward progress
Some Nevada conventions died Thursday, when the state Assembly followed the Senate in passing a pair of resolutions that would undo a couple of long-standing Nevada traditions.

Former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman settles plenty of scores in his new autobiography, “Being Oscar.”
A fine, but no more justice for John Ensign
Remember John Ensign? He’s the Republican U.S. senator who seduced the wife of his best friend and chief of staff, fired both in order to continue his assignations and then ultimately resigned after a year of sensational headlines concerning secret payments and violations of federal lobbying laws.
O we of little faith
It’s something of an irony that — in a nation where the Constitution prohibits establishing a state religion — we’ve spent so much time during the 2013 Legislature talking about religion.
Trip to Carson City leads to bizarre place
I was fairly sure when I boarded the Southwest Airlines jet at McCarran International Airport that I was headed to Reno. I recall following the freeway road signs in my rental car to Carson City.

Democratic options narrowing as session nears end
Suddenly, the endgame for the 2013 Legislature has become clear. The Democrats must surrender.
I read it earlier, even as they like him they call his stunt gutter level. But Prof Green popped out Esquire that basically states Reid has nothing to lose and nationalmemo that basically points out something you also acknowledge, Reid’s critics have no way of knowing if he made it up.
None of this in any way makes it right. You are correct from the beginning that lowering oneself to the level of ones opponent is simply wrong.
Stick to your guns, Reid may have deflected some of the attention Obama could not deflect on his own but that does not make Reid correct. Once again this proves just what kind of person Harry Reid is.
In fact Reid may have just helped the Republicans take the Senate back and Obama is not losing the White House, which I have been saying for well over a year. Reid’s actions are all for naught and he is hurting Nevada in the process. No matter how much the liberal pundits like him for it.
The American election process has becoming a “blood sport” recently (no no longer just a contact sport). All is fair in a war and hand to hand combat…(unfortunately !). Didn’t Packers great coach Vince Lombardi once said “Winning is not everything; it’s THE ONLY THING …”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has scurrilously attacked Candidate Mitt Romney with what is now widely recognized as a lie and often called “a dirty lie.” Politically he has damaged the office he holds as well as his own character ; all in pursuit of keeping political power. At least, when selling his soul, Richard Rich secured higher office and the King’s favor.
Now Harry can be viewed as possessing the very same characteristics as Joe Paterno. Both once icons of power and prestige with presumed virtue and values. Today Harry and Joe have the same reputation and credibility. To be generous, perhaps this is just the early onset of senility? If so, Harry should resign with a semblance of dignity; if not, Harry should resign in disgrace.
Senator Reid has attacked and slandered no one. If you’re a U.S. Senator and someone from Bain gave you this information; what would you do? What are your responsibilities? What if you were a Republican Senator? This all comes down to the one question you have to answer: Why should the Senator have hidden this obviously important information that was given him?
