Durbin, now in minority, subs for injured Reid as top Democrat

You’re not alone in that theory. The exercise equipment excuse doesn’t wash.

The kind of stuff that’s installed in home gyms these days, and Dingy Harry can afford the best, doesn’t tip, rattle, roll, of break. Certainly not under the level of strain that Reid would put on it.

Ribs and face? Look for clues. He got thumped by a person’s fists.

The enforcer was probably somewhat perplexed though. He needed to wallop him enough to get the points across, but not enough to kill him. That’s harder do do with someone Reid’s age.

Accident? Beating?

Who knows? All we can say is, he lose face.

Looks like the Thumper is right-handed and used his left to lessen the impact.

I put a copy of that pic on my desktop. I’ll look at it anytime I need a cheering up.

A really nice left hook with feet planted firmly will do that to nice old man like Harry. A kick in the ribs will fracture a rib or two. Harry got the poop kicked out of him for sure.

part of me really wants to buy that “exercise equipment” a beer.

There is always hope for a blood clot.

Instead of “Get Well” cards, we should make up some “Glad you got hurt” cards and send them to him.

[Gator113]

I like that. ;>)

Liberalism is a disease.

Rhinoism is a disease too!

So, was it the Mafia, or a union thug....or is there any difference?
