Article here. As one commenter posted at the thehill.com site, Mr. Reid, it seems is likely to become 'more abusive' soon enough, as he too shall soon be out of a job. Good riddance. Excerpt:

'Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) suggested Monday that domestic violence by men has increased due to U.S. joblessness.

Reid, speaking in the midst of a Senate debate over whether to pass a $15 billion package meant to spur job creation, appeared to argue that joblessness would lead to more domestic violence.

"I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand," Reid said on the Senate floor. "Why? Men don't have jobs."

Reid said that the effects of joblessness on domestic violence were especially pronounced among men, because, Reid said, women tend to be less abusive.

"Women don't have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time," he said.

"Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive," the majority leader added. "Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are jammed.”'

Sen. Reid and almost all of congress are blind to violence against men.

Mangina, that knows what side of his bread is buttered, and cares not whether it speaks the truth. As long as he gets his pat on the head when he gets home, he is happy.

First, it was the overrated Geraldo Rivera (Jerry Rivers) bragging about getting a tooth knocked out by an ex wife. Now, it is US Senators Reid and Evan Bayh saying asinine things about women and domestic violence.

Aren't there any men in the public eye that aren't the male versions of bimbos?

It is just pathetic!
