WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid is back on the Senate floor speaking about legislation, a week after surgery to remove a blood clot in his right eye and repair bones in his face.
The 75-year-old Reid walked without assistance to his podium in the Senate, accepted a welcome back handshake from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and thanked his colleagues for their well-wishes. His eye was bandaged and his jaw appeared bruised.
Reid broke bones in his face and fractured ribs when a piece of exercise equipment broke at his new home in Nevada.
Doctors are optimistic that Reid will regain vision in his injured eye, although they are not yet able to say for sure. He missed the first two weeks of the new session.

As my Marine Corps Drill Instructor would say in Boot Camp when presented with such a fallacy: "BULLSH8T! GET BACK!!"

— During a radio interview with KNPR, the Democrat said he was going through his regular exercise routine, which he does three times a week and consists of “250 sit-ups,” “some yoga type stuff” and using a resistance band, which he noted is “the second strongest you can get.”
“The band broke, and it catapulted me backwards onto one side,” Reid said. “I crashed into a series of cabinets we have and, fortunately, it missed my temple by just a little tiny bit and it hit me on my right eye and it broke a number of bones around my eye and broke four ribs.” —

“Now go home and get your effin’ shine box”.
Somewhere there is someone with an awesome left hook.
Even the AP couldn't bring themselves to continue the lie that it was an "exercise band" that broke.
Most likely a busted baseball bat.
Broken bones around the eye socket,
big assed bruise under the cheek, along the jawbone,
3 broken ribs.
That was batting practice.
If it happened on a treadmill, they would have said it happened on a treadmill. He got the crap beat out of him, plain and simple.
More practice needed.
For all that we disagree with Dingy Harry, The Dim Bulb From Searchlight, I do wish him a full and speedy recovery.
> there’s a special place in heaven for that exercise equipment.
Man you just made me spit my drink all over myself...dangit!....LOL
Yeah, I've never heard of a "treadmill" giving a left hook that perfect before.
Someday there will be a museum. In that museum will be housed Harry Reid’s exercise kit and TOTUS.
Well, I don't give a rat's ass if he lives or dies.
He has done too much damage to the country for me to care about his corrupt soul or his well being in any way.
And he can take obama with him.
Thanks, nicest thing anyone’s posted to me today. :)
