Harry Reid’s son is running for governor. And from his last name.

You know things are going poorly for Harry Reid when his son, who’s running for governor of Nevada, won’t use the family name in his campaign.

Reid has become a four-letter word in Nevada, so Harry’s son has scrubbed it from his commercials, his ads, and his website. He’s no longer Rory Reid. He’s become just plain Rory. One name. Rory.

This is, after all, Las Vegas. That one name affectation worked out pretty well for Cher, Liberace, Sigfried & Roy and Liza, but odds are Rory won’t be as lucky.

  • I don't think he is running away from his name as much as he is probably planning an appearance on The View and he knew how hard pronouncing his name would be for Baba Wawa.

    There's a Barney Fwank joke there too, but I'll leave that for someone else.
