Gotta love Harry Reid. He takes free ring side seats from the Nevada Athletic Commission while he is considering federal legislation on boxing.

If he comes out and says "It was poor judgement", I'd give the guy a break. But this is remarkable - and pretty stupid - spin.

Reid defended the gifts, saying they would never influence his position on the bill and was simply trying to learn how his legislation might affect an important home state industry.

So to understand the affect he has have $1500 ring side seats?
