Harry Reid Changes His Story On How He Sustained New Year’s Day Injuries

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is changing the story about how he sustained those gruesome New Years Day injuries that have left him blind in one eye.
Previously, Reid claimed that an exercise band he was using broke.
I was doing exercises that Ive been doing for many years with those large rubber bands and one of them broke and spun me around and I crashed into these cabinets and injured my eye, (emphasis added) Reid said at a press conference on January 22.
(You can see the video of that press conference here.)
But now, in an interview conducted by Fusion (a joint venture between ABC and Univision), excerpts of which have been released today, Reid tells Univision anchor Jorge Ramos that the exercise band slipped, rather than broke.
[T]he [elastic band] strap had no handle on it, slipped, spun me around, uh, about, oh I guess four feet (Reid points with his right hand to the wall of the interview room) and so I smashed my face into a cabinet, Reid tells Ramos.
Reids latest version of the incident, as told to Ramos, differs from previous versions advanced by his team in another very significant way.
Sources familiar with the incident said Reid was exercising in his bathroom, with the exercise band attached to the shower door, Politico reported on January 22. (emphasis added)
As Breitbart News reported previously, that version of the story, almost certainly told to Politico by Reids staffers with his approval, is not credible.
Now, however, Reid tells Ramos a different story. The exercise band was not attached to the shower door in his bathroom, Reid says, but was instead attached to a big metal hook that came out from the wall in an unspecified room in his new Nevada home.

Video at link, which is mainly Reid bashing Romney. Dingy Harry's "alleged" former mob ties coming back to haunt him? Reminds me of that line from The Dirty Dozen, he must've slipped on a bar of soap.
Dirty Larry, Crazy Harry, his brother who got busted for assault. Their family get-togethers must be loads of laughs.

If he’s been around Vegas a long time.. Mob connections is not a big surprise.. Or out to the realm.

I’ll go along with ‘exercising in the bathroom’ for $2,000 but “what” kind of exercise needs to be determined.
Now, does being beaten up by the Mob, your brother, or some hooker qualify as “exercise”?
To: leapfrog0202
THE REAL STORY: Harry, and his other brother Larry were at a party, the hookers were hired with tax payers money out of the Democrat Senate EXceptional Slush Fund, or in other words the DEMSEX SLUSH FUND. The hookers were told that the money received was for attending the party only, any additional services were to be charged to the recipient only.
When Harry was told to pay up he refused.
Hooker to Harry: That will be 350.00 sweety.
Harry to Hooker: What do you mean 350.00, don't you know who I am?
Hooker to Harry: I don't know or care who you are, that's still 350.00 Tight Ass!
Harry to Hooker: I am Senator Harry Reid; I don't pay for the services of a whore, I expect to be comped for my performance to you and the taxpayer.
Hooker to Harry: Your nothing but a tight assed lieing, crook. Now pay in cash or your going to pay in blood.
AND WE KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY.

of course he did, if it broke he'd be expected to sue, where if it slipped out of his hand it was his fault and it all goes away... or so he hopes
