It’s not unheard of for politicians to spend your money on projects that then get named after themselves. (See: Byrd, Robert.)
But I think that Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has in some ways done that act one step better.
Last week, I flew into the Reno-Tahoe airport for a convention. The baggage-claim area was playing videos of the senate majority leader, touting the charms of Nevada.
I suppose it’s similar to the practice of state highway maps containing photos of governors. But at least the maps aren’t talking. Yet.
