Doubtlessly, Reid heard Liddell is a Republican and wanted to get a little dig in at him.
From the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required, http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/14001/):
"A funny story from UFC 116. Henry Reid, the senate majority leader, from Nevada, who was at the show with his son (who is running for Governor of Nevada), went up to Liddell and congratulated him on his recent win. Liddell, I guess not wanting to embarrass anyone, just said, 'thanks.'"
Reid is old as dirt. Generally we don't correct the elderly because they are wrong about everything. We will all be the same way some day.
Reid is an asshat, this doesn't surprise me at all!
mmanuthugger - Not sure where you got your quote, but it's HARRY Reid...
Cornball...
And he's one also... Him, that dumb brunette bitch, that half white dude in the oval office who everyone thinks is black... In fact, now that I think about it, pretty much EVERY liberal...
We're all cornballs?

He's an "asshat" because he dosen't follow the sport religiously like you do?
if there's one place not to come for intellectual political discussion...the UG is it.

Nothing to do with MMA. A lot of people in Nevada don't care for the guy.
