Harry Reid: I'm Blind in One Eye
The Weekly Standard ^ | April 8, 2015 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 04/09/2015 3:40:54 AM PDT by Lonesome in Massachussets

Senate minority leader Harry Reid is blind in one eye. The news comes a week after Reid announced that he will retire at the end of this session of Congress and not run for reelection.

“It looked like somebody had hit you,” Fusion newscaster Jorge Ramos told Reid in a recent interview. “Are you afraid that you might not regain your eyesight?”

“No, I’m over that, ‘cause I can’t see out of my eye, and that’s the way it’s going to be until something comes along that’ll change it,” Reid responded to Ramos. “Right now, I’ve had 11 hours of surgery. They’ve tried. I can’t see out of my right eye. And that’s okay, I can live with that.”

Reid injured himself earlier this year in an exercising accident at his Nevada home.

Big Joe Turner (and his minor epigon, Billy Haley) come to mind for some reason. Schadenfreude is a sin, but a pleasant one, sometimes.

His brother Larry exercised himself on Harry’s eye?

His brother did it. The MSM won’t investigate it.

I don't buy the brother story ... POS Reid was an arrogant weasel that spit in America's eye and shit in our corn flakes and there was nothing we could do about it because the equally POS republicans had castrated themselves years before.


A man like that is gonn'a get his ass WHOOPED by someone sooner or later, and it won't be a drunken brawl but a righteous indignation of I believe I'm doing the Lord's work, ass-kickin' ... which is what I think really happened

I think the whooper is known, but no one wants reid to have the satisfaction of claiming assault

Blind in one eye?

It's an improvement over the total blindness to America over the last 15 years in politics.

Another lie, Dingy Harry? Everybody knows how it happened. Your brother beat the snot out of you. Wise up, Harry. Repent and get right with God while you still can. Because eventually your unrepentant lying will land you in the Lake of Fire.

I never bought his original story---what's a skinny runt like Reid doing on an exercycle?

Bruised and battered Reid --- a forensic specialist
should examine the bruises and ascertain how they got there.

The story I read was that his brother, Larry Reid, stumbled into an AA meeting wearing a bloodied shirt. His appearance and demeanor brought a lot of attention (ie, witnesses) who remember “Larry” saying he blacked out; got into a “family fight;” and was now fearful of the Secret Service.

Why they fought...who knows. But much more plausible than the snapped Exercise Band from Hell cover story.

Snapped exercise band that a dirty lawyer like Reid won’t sue over.

Sure, he easily admits the blindness, the brain damage...not so much.

The weights that this decrepit old man could lift would not have done this degree of damage. Sounds like he got beat up - either a drunk relative or he got on the wrong side of his Mob friends in Vegas. But the “press” will have no interest, they will instead fly hundreds of reporters to Alaska to dig up dirtless dirt on Sarah Palin and will create a massive “story” over the answer of the fundamentalist owners of a pizza shop in a remote Indiana town to a hypothetical question about whether they would cater a gay wedding (who the hay would want a pizza place catering a wedding in the first place!). The standard questions of journalism - What, When, Where, Why, How - only apply if its someone whom the “journalists” disagree with or if they can promote an agenda item. Thus, the inquisition of Rand Paul, the timid genre of “just why do you still eat junk food” questions for the President.

He’d still be able to vote in the senate for about 10 years.

It's difficult to care when the afflicted is a thoroughly loathsome, corrupt, dishonest, obnoxious anti-Patriot lacking any redeeming virtue whatsoever.

Yes, I’m sure that is the story, and we all know Harry has no problems with lying.
