Given the opportunity to look like an honest man, Harry Reid has decided to go for broke on his big lie.

On Wednesday, Reid stuck to his story, and broadened it.

"I am not basing this on some figment of my imagination," Reid said in a telephone call with Nevada reporters. "I have had a number of people tell me that."

Asked to elaborate on his sources, Reid declined. "No, that's the best you're going to get from me."

"I don't think the burden should be on me," Reid said. "The burden should be on him. He's the one I've alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didn't he release his tax returns?"

Well, I’ve heard some bad things about Harry Reid as well, something about #HarryReidisaPederast.

I don’t think the burden should be on me to prove that Harry Reid and Jerry Sandusky like the same extracurricular activities. The burden should be on him.
