When will Harry Reid come clean about his alleged pederasty?

Instapundit highlights the Senate Majority Leader who insists that his recitation of unfounded, anonymously sourced rumors is entirely legitimate ("I don’t think the burden should be on me"):

And I don’t think the burden should be on me to resolve those Harry Reid pederasty rumors, either. But when there’s this much Harry Reid pederasty buzz on the Internet, I think Sen. Reid owes the public an explanation.

Ace drily observes, "It's not Harry Reid's burden to prove the thing he just made up, you see. It's Romney's burden to disprove the thing Reid just made up. Meanwhile, millions of parents in DC and Nevada send their sons to school every day without knowing whether Harry Reid is, or is not, a pederast."

I, for one, encourage Senator Reid to take a polygraph exam so we can get to the bottom of these sickening allegations.
