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
- Reid, 75, broke ribs and fractured bones in his face when an exercise machine broke and send him flying into cabinets at his new Nevada house
- He may lose sight in his right eye but is talking about running for a sixth term next year
- The Democrats' top senator will not attend the State of the Union address
- He has been taking meetings at his house in Washington, D.C. but hadn't been seen back in the Capitol until Tuesday morning
- Reid has had mishaps before, including a shoulder dislocation and a facial contusion while jogging in the rain four years ago
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.

Whatever happened to him sounds pretty bad. Considering all the destruction he's rained down on our country, what happened to him wasn't nearly bad enough.
If there were justice, there would be a funeral.

It wasn’t enough that Michionne took out an eye of one infamous politician (The Governor), looks like she did the same thing to Harry in your posted picture. #thewalkingdead
