Hello, welcome to Tuesday Afternoon:

Politico reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) gave Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) "an unusual form of praise" at a closed-door fundraiser.

Said Reid: "We in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest member."

"The comment prompted Gillibrand to turn red... and created a bit of stir among the small crowd there."

And in other news: We're sure a Predator Drone killed someone, somewhere.
