FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!!
"The publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday stood by his claim that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threatened one of the newspaper's employees, after Reid's office claimed the alleged threat was meant as a joke.
Publisher Sherman Frederick first accused Reid of "bullying" in a column Sunday. He said Reid told his paper's ad director, "I hope you go out of business," at a local Chamber of Commerce luncheon a few days earlier.
After the column generated a lot of controversy and attention, Reid spokesman Jon Summers claimed the newspaper misinterpreted the remark.
"Clearly he wasn't serious," he said. "Once again, the editors at the Review-Journal got it wrong."
So let me see if I have this right. Harry Reid "joked" about the paper he hates going out of business? It was just a joke? OK, somehow I doubt that.
Good for the Las Vegas Review-Journal for standing up to Dingy Harry.
