Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is out of the hospital after successful eye surgery and already trolling Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Spokesman Adam Jentleson said the surgery was “successful” but there is no definitive verdict on whether the Nevada Democrat will regain sight in his right eye damaged in a New Year’s Day exercise accident.
On a sidenote, did they ever find out who beat the stuffing out of you?
Are Rocco and Johnny Salami okay?
Now how is he going to be able to do his taxes if he can’t see? I heard he hasnt paid taxes in the last ten years. Maybe Mitt Romney can assist him.
This is the second time in three years!
If a woman says she broke her ribs, dislocated her shoulder, and sustained bruises and broken bones in her face from “exercising” — her second “exercise” injuries in three years — what would you think?
Would you believe that she got those injuries from exercising, or would you suspect some other reason, like spousal abuse?
If you suspect the latter, why would you think differently if it isn’t a woman, but a man?
David Martosko reports for The Daily Mail, Jan. 2, 2014, that reporters were told by the office of 75-year-old Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) that he had broken some ribs and facial bones on Thursday while exercising at his home in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson, Nevada.
“A piece of equipment Senator Reid was using to exercise broke, causing him to fall and break a number of ribs and bones in his face,” read a statement from his office. His doctors “expect a full recovery” and Reid will return to Washington this weekend and be in the office Tuesday as the new Senate prepares to reconvene and Reid steps down as majority leader.
In May 2011, Reid dislocated his shoulder, bumped his forehead, and sustained a contusion just below his left eye when he slipped and fell during a morning jog in the rain. Reid was leaning on a wet car near his home in Washington, D.C.’s Ritz-Carlton hotel when he tumbled to the ground.
Some choice comments by Daily Mail’s readers:
Whenever I hear of Harry Reid having an “accident,” I always think it’s more likely that his Nevada m o b friends have paid him a visit.
I got hit in the face by a barbell. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
How does some one break their face while exercising? Reid either fell down stone blind drunk, or got punched making advances at one of the page boys.
Exersise equipment failure ….. so that’s what they call it now …. Back in the day, we just called it what it was … falling down drunk.
I doubt it was an exercise accident. Probably a warning to keep his mouth shut.
Very sorry to learn his injuries were so mild.
Reid, retire Already you greedy old man!
He’ll be fine. This won’t hinder his ability to tell a lie one bit.
If Reid were a Republican no way the media would have bought the BS about his “Exercise equipment” hurting him..please, by the looks of his mug someone gave him an ass beating, whoever did it I would like to shake their hand
Will Harry sleep with one eye open now??
I hear Guido and Luigi are nocturnal....
Or did someone sabotage his home gym???
“I heard he hasnt paid taxes in the last ten years.”
Someone needs to dial up the Mormon Church and see if Harry has been paying “The Lord’s Tenth.” Knowing Harry, he’s probably “cheating” his church on his tithing too.
Both the Mormons and the Catholics suck for allowing Harry and Nancy to remain members in “good standing” in their respective religions. Funny how money and power corrupt churches. It’s “The G-d Business!”
i have an interesting question. when al sharpton takes a crap in the woods, how many trees die within 30 days?
“...a New Year’s Day exercise accident.”
So THAT’S what they’re calling, ‘Mob on pasty white weasel crime,’ these days?
*SNORT*
Not a problem for Harry. He's on YouTube pointing out that taxes are voluntary.
Al Sharpton does not crap in the woods...he saves it for Tawana Brawley, who smears it upon herself and then claims it was done by white persons, specifically county prosecutors, and attempts to extract money from said white prosecutor, loses and is sued and told to pay damages, which to date have not been paid and all of which Al Sharpton now says never took place.
Or something like that.
Or perhaps his own mouth is full of it, as evidenced by his attempts to read a teleprompter.
Sorry.
I can not stand the sight of that piece of human excrement.
That’s another possibility, but that seems pretty remote.
Bingo!!!!!!! You have the most coveted seven ex. award tonight. Congratulations Mr. Hydrazine...
Too bad they didn’t operate on his brain.
From the time this incident was first reported I assumed he was either falling-down drunk, or was standing-up drunk and got roughed up for running his mouth or grabbing some dude's @ss in a public men's room.
Sorry ‘bout all this , Harry, but maybe next time you’ll
listen when your friends tell you not to go into that
country western bar dressed like the biker from the
Village People.
If only he was in a mental hospital where he belongs
You KNOW if it was a deficient piece of gym equipment, that old SOB would already have lawsuit in the works, OSHA, EPA the CPB and whoever on the ass of the company who manufactured it. He’s too greedy and powerful to let something like this slip by.
Will his eye heal before he doesn’t read the next country destroying bill he votes for?
