It has been three months since Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's exercise equipment "accident" and he remains blind in his injured eye. So when will Reid sue the exercise equipment company or even mention the brand name? So far nothing solid on this from Reid and the mainstream media continues to remain on incurious mode.
This was particularly noticebable last week when Reid announced that he won't be seeking re-relection. Speculation again heated up on talk radio and in the blogosphere about this "accident" but from the MSM.....the sounds of silence. Among those taking note of the strange circumstances of Reid's "accident" were Rush Limbaugh and John Hinderaker of Powerline who wrote two articles on this subject. In the large ranks of the strangely incurious is Michael McAuliff of the Huffington Post who back in January noted that Harry Reid Won't Rule Out Suing Exercise Equipment Maker Over His Injury:

Imagine the MSM reaction if Ted Cruz announced on New Years Day that he got those same injuries from exercise equipment.

It is known that a considerable part of his fortune came from being cut in on sweetheart Las Vegas land deals that included at least one person associated with organized crime as a principal. One person? There's an understatement. Whether or not this "accident" has anything to do with organized crime, Harry is dirty up to his neck with connections to organized crime. And everyone knows it.

The Chinese Mafia (aka The Tong) sent Harry a message about those Visas. They want to take over Vegas.

I thought perhaps the brand was ‘Rocko’.

You would think there are photographs. Where the equipment failed, the position of the user, other objects nearby.
This is a major political figure. We should be able to learn from equipment or even judgement failures that cause injury. For the betterment of all of us.
Yes, as long as these details lack, something is being with held.

Not that reids story is true, if he said it was a treadmill it was most assuredly something else, but if you have 7 minutes, there are some really stupid people using them in many inappropriate ways........The “scorpions” are most hilarious:

There is nothing more satisfying to me that Harry Reid remains blind in one eye because he was a scumbag who associated with the Mafia and got his ass kicked.
To my dying day, this will uplift me. :)

An overcurious reporter could wake up to a horse head in the bed.
Seriously, there’s a coverup here & it was ordered from the Oval Office, bottom line.
