“I’d rather go to Singapore and have them beat me with whips.”

– Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), quoted by the New York Times, when asked if he would become a lobbyist after retiring from the U.S. Senate

...........

Jeb Bush, the Florida Republican expected to run for president, would be the “easiest opponent” for Hillary Rodham Clinton to beat in 2016, Mr. Reid said.

“He’d have to wake up every morning and find out what he’s for,” Mr. Reid said. Not to mention the record of President George W. Bush. “How can his brother Jeb get away from that?” Mr. Reid said. “I’ll take Clinton baggage over that any day.”

.....

“I’ve had calls from lots of people,” Mr. Reid said. “For example, Al Gore called me. Maybe I want to do something with Al Gore? I have no idea.”

But on one matter he was clear: He said he would not be a lobbyist.

“I’d rather go to Singapore and have them beat me with whips,” he said.

6. Of course!

I see your point. I forgot to account for the fact he's from Nevada. I'm sure you can have either whips or canes at the Mustang Ranch.

7. He's retiring, perhaps he's going to put in an application at Moonlight Bunny Ranch?

I see they're interviewing for a quality control tester

4. Oh, boy, I can just hear the RW radio chatter about Reid's fetishes now!

But it's nice to hear he'll be ONE former senator who won't become a lobbyist.
