Harry Reid wants to stay, says blind eye forced retirement

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has few regrets, but one is his injury-forced retirement from the Senate.

"I love this institution," he said. "I wish I could be here forever."

In a profile for GW, the George Washington University magazine, the school alum said an exercise accident that blinded his right eye two years ago has forced him to leave.

He’s been blind in both eyes for decades.

He's been a winning face for the Democrats, eh?

Just like Pelosi.

Harry Reid and Nana Pelosi have worked wonders for the democrat party.

Another 8 years of them in the senate and congress and there wouldn't be any democrat governors or state legislatures outside of California and New York.

Now Nana will have to finish destroying the party on her own.

Well - maybe with some help from Keith Ellison.

[caver]

He’s an evil bastard.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Anyone who buys the “exercise machine” story should stay up late for Santa...

[Vaquero]

Either his Brother Larry or the MOB beat him blind for lord knows what transgressions. Then he was ordered out of the senate

[treetopsandroofs]

“Coming from a guy who couldn’t outsmart a rubberband excercise machine.”

Why assume THIS story by Big Media was true?

“Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has few regrets, but one is his injury-forced retirement from the Senate.”

Shouldn’t Ace McCain receive an “injury-forced retirement”, too?

Reid got beat up. Probably by his gay boyfriend, a disappointed bribe payor, or the parent of a molested child. Certainly not by an exercise machine. He’d have sued everyone in sight.

The Boxer

I was just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told.
I have squandered my manhood and my honor
For pockets full of baubles and plunder.

All lies and jests -
My promises were naught but lies and jests!
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

In the Senate stands the boxer, a dirty fighter by his trade.
And he harbors bitter memories of every fight that laid him low
Or cut him down.
Now he cries out in his anger and his shame:
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains!

[Ladysmith]

What a load of bullship. I’ve had vision in only one eye straight out of the womb. Yeah, depth perception sucks but you adapt. My only regret over it is it kept me out of the military. If he can’t figure out how to negotiate stairs, he better not be driving.

All that aside, to use this as an excuse tell me what a lieing POS he is.

[IronJack]

He’s been blind to reality all his career.

[FrdmLvr]

Thank you for your service, Harry....of changing the filibuster rule.

[Maudeen]

IMHO Mr. Reid, the head of the democrats in the senate, may be suffering from spiritual blindness, It is not too late for him to turn his life around and see the missteps of his political party under his leadership.

[hal ogen]

What a trifecta this idiot’s life is: creep, criminal and cretin. I’d like to thank those who apparently beat him.

[Williams]

Yes the one problem with this story is that he is a habitual liar. When you think about it, there is an Institutional problem because the Democrats consider outright lying to be a basic part of politics.

[Buckeye McFrog]

He’s been blind to everything to his right
his entire life anyway.

[refermech]

That’s blasphemy you know, but a pretty good job!

[Unam Sanctam]

Oh well, too bad, so sad, Harry. It’s been nice knowin ya!

[MIchaelTArchangel]

In a Democrat card deck they don’t have one-eyed jacks. They have been replaced by one-eyed jackasses.

[bestrongbpositive]

And I hope they bury that SOB face down.

[Joe Boucher]

Too bad Larry didn’t finish the job.
