Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who recently announced plans to retire, rebutted conservative media speculation on Wednesday that his severe injuries are the result of a run-in with the mob.
On CNBC's "Speakeasy," host John Harwood asked Reid about theories put forth by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and Breitbart News that the injuries Reid sustained at the beginning of this year, including a blow to his right eye, are not, as he has said, the result of an accident involving elastic exercise equipment.
"The last few days, a bunch of people are saying, Reid, he didn't have an exercise accident, he got beat up by the mob," Harwood said.
"It shows the credibility of Rush Limbaugh, he's the guy that got all this started," Reid replied. "Why in the world would I come up with a story that I got hurt in my own bathroom with my wife standing there? How could anyone say anything like that? And I think a lot of people, as I read, they kind of don't like me as a person and I think that's unfortunate."

No, but maybe John Kerry can arrange for Harry Reid to receive a Purple Heart.
I thought his wife beat him up until I heard the VERY believable story of his brother, Larry, beating the crap out of him......you go Lar!!!
What does Larry kicking Harry’s ass have anything to do with us despising Harry?
Simply makes me admire Larry.
Actually Im a fan of Larry’s now, just wish Larry had done a better job with the ass kicking..Harry can still talk, hence my issue with Larry
Must have been family witnesses.
I’ve been to Searchlight and there are about a million miles to get rid of someone like Harry where NO on would ever find him.
Not the Mob. I was thinking an irate Girl Scout would be too much for that sissy to handle.
Mia culpa. I enjoyed the “mob beat him up story” entirely because I don’t like him as a person, and I had not reason to care whether it was true. Tyranny and corruption have no place in our country, Harry Reid has not place in our country.
Either Larry put the beatdown on Harry or Guido put the beatdown on Harry. A win win either way. :-)
You have given people nothing to like.
Some people I abhor their politics but like them as people. You are just a jerk.
Man! Now an innocent exercise machine is going to get whacked so Harry can have visual proof of his “accident”.
What happened to Harry made me very sad. It’s sad that reliable people are so hard to find. With just a little more effort whoever beat the $#!+ out of him could have completed the job.
So the story about the homeless transvestite and the female dwarf is not true?
“Why in the world would I come up with a story..”
Because you have a very long history of being a lying sack of .......
“they kind of don’t like me as a person and I think that’s unfortunate.”
You’ve earned the disdain of anyone that puts any value on honesty..
Congratulations on your elevation to the “Grand N” poistion in “Pat and Stu” D-HOF! It is well deserved.
