Always one to make an entrance, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid muddied his big, ugly carbon footprint all over the welcome mat at the Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada last week

Arriving in what's being called a "fleet in Secret Service-provided GMC Yukons and Chevy Suburbans ", Reid's arrogant show was nothing less than appalling.

"I was absolutely astonished, not to mention appalled, that Harry Reid would retain a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs so that he and a few aides would not have to walk the mere 100 yards to address environmental activists," said Heartland Institute Senior Fellow James M. Taylor, who took the attached photo. "If greenhouse gas emissions are such a problem, you would think Reid might have actually made the short stroll through the parking lot, or at least retain Priuses rather than large SUVs for the summit," said Taylor.
