រឿង​គួរ​ឱ្យ​អស់​សំណើច​និង​គួរ​ឱ្យ​ចាប់​អារម្មណ៍​ទាំង​ប្រាំ​ដែល​បាន​ប្រាប់​នៅ​ក្នុង​ពិធី​បុណ្យ​សព​របស់​លោក​ដោយ​លោក​អូបាម៉ា, Biden និង​អ្នក​ផ្សេង​ទៀត​

Senate Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer recalled when Reid pulled him into a bathroom for an “important matter,” then handed him a wad of cash, remarking that Schumer was doing the right things to someday become the leader of the Democratic caucus, but “please buy some better shoes.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Reid gave her a “massive [stuffed] bald eagle” after he announced his retirement, and when she asked him where he got it from, he said it flew into a power line so he called it “Sparky.”

Pelosi and President Joe Biden took jabs at Reid’s habit of quickly hanging up on calls without saying goodbye, with Biden joking, “every time I hear a dial tone, I think of Harry.”

Former President Barack Obama – who called Reid “one of the greatest Senate majority leaders of all time” – recalled a dinner at the White House late in his second term where the famously laconic Reid had a sudden uncharacteristic outburst of emotion, telling Obama he was proud of him before leaning over and kissing him on the cheek – Obama exclaimed, “we were all surprised.”

Obama also recalled an instance when Reid, who was 70 at the time, was handed draft remarks referring to himself as a “former boxer” – Reid cut out the word “former.”
