Don’t Send Flowers: In Nevada, Apparently Even the Dead Don’t Want Harry in the Senate… A First: An Anti-Harry Reid Obituary

The Dishonorable Harry Reid... possibly the first senator to ever get blasted in an obituary
Just when you thought you could no longer be surprised… a scathing anti-Harry Reid obituary, from a former Reid supporter and campaigner, proves otherwise.
Man, being blasted from the grave. That’s gotta hurt… Barack Obama dissing Reid’s Senate opponent Sharron Angle isn’t going to help, methinks.
How do you dispute the final wishes of a Democrat ghost??
From KXNT-AM News, Anti-Reid Obituary Raises Eyebrows:
An unusual obituary published this week is raising eyebrows. Pahrump resident Charlotte McCourt’s death was announced in the “Las Vegas Review-Journal’s” obituary section on Tuesday.
After describing the 84-year-old woman’s work with the Mormon church and other information, the obit ended with these words, quote, “We believe that Mom would say she was mortified to have taken a large role in the election of Harry Reid to U.S. Congress. Let the record show Charlotte was displeased with his work. Please, in lieu of flowers, vote for another more worthy candidate.”
The obit was written by McCourt’s two daughters, who tell the newspaper the family had become disillusioned with Reid’s position on social and fiscal issues. But a woman who worked with McCord on Reid’s campaigns called the obituary quote, “horrendous.” A spokesman for Reid’s campaign would only say the senator’s thoughts quote, “are with the family during this difficult time.”
Reported by Las Vegas Review-Journal, Charlotte zings Reid from beyond the grave:
Election 2010 has just heard from a member of the Silent Majority.
You know, from a deceased person.
Chances are good you never met Charlotte McCourt during her 84 years, but I’m willing to bet you’ll be hearing about her in the coming days now that her obituary has taken Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to task. It’s the kind of small story that has the potential to ricochet like a bullet through the campaign showdown between incumbent Reid and Republican challenger Sharron Angle.
Not because McCourt, who died July 8 after a long illness, was a political player or business powerbroker, but precisely because she was neither of those things. She was a homemaker, proud mother and grand mother and wife of 67 years to Patrick McCourt.
And she was at one time a loyal supporter of Harry Reid.
Her obituary, printed in Tuesday’s Review-Journal, reads in part, “We believe that Mom would say she was mortified to have taken a large role in the election of Harry Reid to U.S. Congress. Let the record show Charlotte was displeased with his work. Please, in lieu of flowers, vote for another more worthy candidate.”
Ouch.
From The BS Report, Harry Reid Campaign On Life Support?…Woman’s Obituary Says Vote For Someone Else:
…Ms. McCourt was an active Democrat and a political “player.” …This makes her indictment of Harry Reid even more convincing because she was an active, life-long Democrat who was so disenchanted by Reid that her final statement was how mortified she was that she helped elect him and urged others not to make her mistake.
Ms. McCourt, we couldn’t agree with you more–Harry Reid is indeed a disgrace. And you’ve probably done more in death to defeat him than you could have done in life. Rest-in-peace.
From Mediaite, Deceased Nevada Woman Disses Harry Reid Through Her Obituary:
Harry Reid’s got a lot on his plate right now. He’s in the midst of a tough campaign against Sharron Angle. The Tea Party all hates him. And, now, he’s got to deal with angry ghosts! A few days ago, an 84 year old woman passed away and her obituary held one of her final wishes: that people don’t vote for Harry Reid. Boo!
From Moe Lane, RedState, Harry Reid loses key Dem demographic:
And here we all thought that a Democrat could never lose the necro-American vote.
The writing’s on the wall, Dingy Harry, and it isn’t looking good… blasted from the grave by a dead Democrat Nevadan who helped get you elected is downright chilling, MSNBC’s Obama-bot Ed “I’m a Freaked Out Liberal Bozo” Shultz is ripping into you by saying you lack male organs, and even your son Rory Reid is trying to not stand too close to you in his campaign: Sorry, Rory, You’re No Fabio… Harry Reid’s Son Running for Nevada Governor, Drops His Last Name in Campaign Ad (video)
From Rasmussen Reports on a recent Nevada poll:
Only three percent (3%) of Nevada voters now rate the economy as good or excellent, while 62% describe it as poor. Twenty-eight percent (28%) say the economy is getting better, but 49% believe it’s getting worse.
Thirty-two percent (32%) of the state’s voters think the economy was helped by the $787-billion economic stimulus plan that Reid helped steer through the Congress. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say the plan hurt the economy.

Harry Reid is toast. When dead people start dissing him… time to call it a day and start writing those memoirs.
Harry will .loose big in Nov. He won’t know what him. Americans are paying attention, you crooks.
This is really funny – Reid deserves it. His approval is even lower than Pelosi’s.
