at which some aide to then majority leader reid convinced him to do a charm offensive. so i got a call from his office. would you like to drop by just to chat? i said, just to chat with harry reid? yeah, just to chat. so i went by his office, and it was like the weirdest hour because he clearly didn t get the memo, right. he wasn t really into chatting, and so there was a lot of stoney silence. we talked a bit about searchlight, about his growing up and about boxing, and eventually i found an excuse to sort of leave. that wasn t that wasn t the setting in which harry reid really shone. it was in the halls and the floor of the senate where he was he was a magician, and he was also an enforcer.
