There has been a lot of criticism of Senate minority leader Harry Reid, but this piece of trivia strikes me as passing strange:

Reid neither drinks nor gambles, although he has lived his entire life in a state with no shortage of vice. He carries himself with quiet ease, and he speaks in a soft monotone, even when his words are spoken in anger, as they were after the Republican National Committee mailing went out. He is a no-nonsense worker known for rarely saying ''goodbye" at the end of a phone call.

People are also creeped out by his “Ahoy-hoy!” telephone greeting.
