Reid hospitalized for observation

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has been hospitalized after falling ill, his office said Friday.

A spokesman for Reid said the 74-year-old senator was alert and feeling better. His statement did not provide any details about Reid's illness.

“Early this morning, Senator Reid was not feeling well and as a precaution decided to go to the hospital. Tests have been conducted and everything is normal. He is alert, resting and feeling better,” said Reid’s spokesperson Adam Jentleson. “Doctors have asked that he remain in the hospital for observation so he will not be working today.”

Reid worked late into Thursday night and early Friday morning to broker a deal to hold nomination votes before the Senate adjourned, which is expected later Friday.

The majority leader suffered a mild stroke in 2005, leaving him in the hospital and forcing him to cancel some events.

On Friday, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said on the Senate floor that he would be replacing Reid for the day.

“I spoke with him this morning and he sounded good,” Durbin said. “We look forward to his speedy recovery.”

If the casino’s in Nevada are suffering loss of income due to Reid’s pushing Obamacare down the throats of Americans, he might need to use some food tasters and hand selected RNs and MDs.

They’re checking to see if he has a heart. The signs don’t look good.

Actually Harry’s darn lucky he represents Nevada.

If he represented Alaska, Harry’d be on the ice floe w/ the rest of the older Eskimos, floating off into the Arctic Ocean.

That was my first thought. I know that everyone I know, myself included, is praying that we stay a free country. That doesn't mesh with a Reid senate.

It wouldn't mesh with a Durbin Senate, either. In fact, it doesn't mesh with a Senate run by Democrats, PERIOD.

I think that's a California thing, but Nevada may have an equivalent statute.

“Reid worked late into Thursday night..”

There’s the problem. He is allergic to work.

It's the Christmas season, so I will not say anything bad about Harry Reid's condition, or whether I want him to survive.

Obviously not a problem with his heart or his brain, since he has neither.

Wasn’t it a couple of days ago that he was confidently talking about serving as Senate majority leader for many more years?

My policy is not to stand too close to folks who make such boasts, because the Majority Leader of the Universe may well have other plans.

I don’t. Drop dead traitor.

I believe there is evil that walks this earth just as I believe there are angels we pass not knowing their identity. Some people would say this makes me crazy. I say it makes me normal.

In my heart I believe Harry Reid is an evil human being. I can’t wish death on him. It’s not in me, just as wishing him good health isn’t there either.

“Calling Mengele Zeke Emanuel”

The best thing about the UK’s medical system is the number of formerly highly placed officials in it that have been killed by the very system they administered for their entire career. The most recent died of cancer while waiting for her second doctor visit in eight more months. Hadn’t even begun treatment. Sometimes there is justice.

He has been needing mental observation for a long time.

The little turd thinks he is a wheel.

I hope that HHS Secretary Sebilius doesn't treat "beloved" Harry Reid the same way she wanted to deny that little girl a lung transplant earlier this year ...


Maybe this is Harry's golden opportunity to discover that "All Animals are Not Equal" ...

That’s OK I am sure the Demmies over on their web site are noting how cruel we are over here.

Like we care.
