Harry Reid on becoming a lobbyist: 'I would rather be taken to Singapore and caned'
Since announcing his retirement earlier this year, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has apparently decided to let his uncensored self take a ride all over Washington, D.C., recently calling Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, his longtime bete noire, a "lump of coal" and dismissing the entire 2016 Republican presidential field as a bunch of "losers."
So perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that he came up with a rather interesting response when asked if he would pursue a lobbying career after his time in the Senate. "I would rather be taken to Singapore and caned," he told Politico.
We'll take that as a no.
