  I mentioned this in the last post. Here it is in its entirety. Someone tell  
  me  
  how Harry Reid can look a camera in the eye and make the ridiculous  
  accusations he makes against republicans, with a straight face. How does he  
  keep from bursting out laughing at his own hypocrisy!  
    
    
  Harry Reid's Son Representing Chinese Solar Panel Plant in $5 Billion Nevada  
  Deal

  The son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Rory Reid, is the  
  primary  
  representative for ENN Energy Group, a Chinese energy company seeking to  
  build  
  a $5 billion solar panel plant on a 9,000-acre Clark County desert plot in  
  Laughlin, Nevada.  
    
    
  ENN scored big when Clark County commissioners unanimously voted to sell the  
  Chinese company the public land for just $4.5 million, despite the fact that  
  it was appraised at $38.6 million.  
    
    
  Sen. Reid has been one of ENN's biggest supporters, having recruited the  
  company during a 2011 trip to China. According to Reuters, last month Sen.  
  Reid tried to "pressure Nevada's largest power company, NV Energy, to sign  
  up  
  as ENN's first customer."  
    
  Ç  
  Both Rory Reid and Harry Reid deny having ever discussed the $5 billion  
  Chinese solar panel plant deal:  
    
    
  "I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff," said Rory  
  Reid. Kristen Orthman, a spokeswoman for the senator, said he had not  
  discussed the project with his son.  
    
    
  (Aside: Yeah...right! ...Tim R.)  
    
    
  This isn't the first time the Reids have come under fire for alleged  
  cronyism.  
    
    
  In 2003, allegations emerged that Nevada industries frequently lobbied Sen.  
  Reid through his well-connected relatives.
