Hillary Clinton Joins Dignitaries in Celebrating Harry Reid's Career in Service
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!
