In her remarks today, Hillary remembered the late Senator John Glenn
who passed away today. The occasion was a tribute to Harry Reid who is
retiring after 30 years representing Nevada. Joe Biden and Chuck
Schumer, who succeeds Reid as Leader, shared the podium in reminiscing
on Reid's long career. Both Hillary and Schumer quoted words from Paul
Simon's "The Boxer." Reid was a a boxer at one time. The event was
held at the Russell Senate Office Building.
Read's remarks were
typically acerbic. There were moments when he seemed emotional. Harry
stuck around so that every single person in the room who wanted a
picture with him got one. You could tell he was very touched.
Here is a full video of the proceedings.
The portrait was unveiled and it is truly extraordinary!
Following her appearance at LULAC
today, Hillary stopped by the National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial where she laid a wreath with New York Rep. Joseph Crowley and
them went to Capitol Hill where she met with senators for lunch and
posed for pictures with senate pages.
