Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid missed the ending of Sunday evening's Miss USA pageant, but Monday on the Senate floor, he offered praise for the young woman who won — a fellow Nevadan.

The Nevada Democrat called Nia Sanchez "gifted beyond her physical beauty."

"I'm disappointed that I kind of caved in in watching the final of the USA, Miss USA contest because Miss Nevada won, and I'd like to have seen that," Reid said. "I placed a call to her and I'll talk to her as soon as she gets out of the clouds, where I'm sure she is now. But I congratulate the newly crowned Miss USA and that is our own Nia Sanchez."
