HOH’s One-Minute Recess: Lord Love a Duck

Bath time is about to be a lot of fun for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Danny Tarkanian, a former Republican candidate for the Nevada Democrat’s Senate seat, is planning to send a flock of rubber ducks to Reid’s condo at the Ritz-Carlton. Tarkanian, who chairs the independent group 1001 Reasons to Vote Against Harry Reid, hopes all the rubber duckies will persuade Reid to not hold a lame-duck session after the midterm elections.

For $30, Tarkanian’s group promises to send an “adorable lame duck” to Reid’s home, and donors can include a personalized message with the duckie.

And because any mention of rubber duckies usually brings up childhood memories of Ernie the muppet singing on Sesame Street, we’ve included that famous clip.
