Your constituents prefer the term “gaming”

Did anybody else think this was a stupid thing for a Nevada Senator to say?

Reid signaled that Social Security was one area where the Democrats would fight. "Democrats are all for giving Americans more of a say and more choices when it comes to their retirement savings," he said. "But that doesn't mean taking Social Security's guarantee and gambling with it. And that's coming from a senator who represents Las Vegas."

So gambling is bad? The boys at the Bellagio aren’t going to be happy to hear that.
