Maybe Reid is saying, "Enough with that polygamy stuff, knock it off already", since he has heard of the same child bride/Lost boys/ecclesiastical abuse stuff that we all have.

Perhaps, but shouldn't he know better by now and not have fallen for the sensationalistic stuff that has been countered quite effectively this last year?

Perhaps Reid is suffering from Stockhom Syndrome -- as are other Mormons who have taken up the cause of people like Gov. Boggs and the government officials who made it their goal to persecute the LDS in the 19th. Century.
