Complete Headline: Top Democratic Senator Harry Reid returns to US Capitol with eye bandages and bruises after exercise injury, but will skip State of the Union address

Republicans always enjoyed leaving Nevada Sen. Harry Reid bandaged and bruised during touch legislative fights, but they never thought they'd see him like this.

Reid returned to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday after missing the first two weeks of the new congressional session with major injuries from an exercise-related accident.

The liberal stalwart, derided by Republicans as 'Dingy Harry,' broke several bones in his face and fractured some ribs when an exercise machine failed on New Year's Day, hurling him headlong into cabinets at his new house in Nevada.

I doubt that he crashed into cabinets exercising-looks/sounds more like a union/mob beatdown to me-he is lucky they didn’t off him...

...but I wouldn’t wish this on him.

I would. Every day and twice on Sunday.

When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

I’d love to have a video of his “accident”. I bet it was hilarious. I’d watch it over and over, howling with laughter.

Too bad it didn’t kill the SOB.

“To my own discredit, I am not as charitable as you.

I simply do not care what happens to him.

The part he has played in the destruction of our republic cannot be overstated.

That, coupled with his zeal for enrichening himself and his kin at the expense of U.S. taxpayers leads me to literally have no sympathy for him no mater how much he suffers.”

U I got mine* attitude they may be.

Yes it just seems weird that you would get that badly hurt on exercise equipment. If it happened all the time people would likely get sued out of existence.

I respect that.

Some day I hope to improve enough as a Christian to honestly and truthfully share your sentiments.

As of right now, I would be lying if I tried to make that claim.

The Good Book tells us to pray for our enemies. I’m struggling praying for Harry Reid. Maybe it’s time for him to give up shadow boxing when the shadow wins. Will I pray for Dingy Harry?........hummmm. Let me git back wit’ ya on this one.

He either learned the hard way that Wild Turkey and the treadmill don’t mix or he got a visit from somebody. Its hard to picture those kinds of injuries from a simple sober trip off the treadmill.

I was thinking maybe he ticked off Hillary. She can do some damage when she's not falling down herself.

My FRiend, the only way to do that is to let go and let God. *HE* can carry more weight than most are willing to admit because of their own stubbornness - I am just as guilty of this as many others.

Could his exercise machine have had a human component/involvement?
