Harry Reid on conservatives' mobster-beating theory: 'They don't like me as a person'

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who recently announced plans to retire, rebutted conservative media speculation on Wednesday that his severe injuries are the result of a run-in with the mob.

On CNBC's "Speakeasy," host John Harwood asked Reid about theories put forth by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and Breitbart News that the injuries Reid sustained at the beginning of this year, including a blow to his right eye, are not, as he has said, the result of an accident involving elastic exercise equipment.

"The last few days, a bunch of people are saying, Reid, he didn't have an exercise accident, he got beat up by the mob," Harwood said.

"It shows the credibility of Rush Limbaugh, he's the guy that got all this started," Reid replied. "Why in the world would I come up with a story that I got hurt in my own bathroom with my wife standing there? How could anyone say anything like that? And I think a lot of people, as I read, they kind of don't like me as a person and I think that's unfortunate."

Actually you’re right, and we don’t “hate” you... rather, we just dislike your very existence with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns.

Kudos to his brother, Larry, who celebrated New Year by doing something that should have been done long ago to this crook.

Apparently his bathroom doubles as a gymnasium? Must be some bathroom. Was his wife on the pot when he got popped in the eye?

Reid’s statement is a non-denial denial. He denigrates conservatives, then rhetorically asks why he would make up the bathroom story. He doesn’t actually deny that he was beat up.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot to find out Larry is a registered Republican.
