MyDD :: Smearing Harry Reid:
"The kicker, of course, is that for all of their effort, Reid never supported the Abramoff position. The very definition of 'quid pro quo' is 'this for that.' In politics, this means something valuable like money or gifts for a politician's votes or some other form of official support. In this case, though Reid or his staffers may have taken meetings on the subject, it never amounted to anything. In other words, there may have been quid, but there was no quo. So this convoluted story is just that -- a convoluted story. No climax, no punchline, and most importantly, no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Reid."
What was that old thing (I think) Evert Dirkson said-- "If you can't take someone's money and then say 'no,' you don't belong in Washington."
