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.”

Reality is that thanks to Dictator Obama and his Gestapo in Congress, there are no doctors willing to come or hospitals to go to. Welcome to the Holocaust; Never Again; Think Again!

Is he really that unhealthy? I’ve never known anyone who went to hospital just because they didn’t “feel well”, unless they had a chronic, serious health issue-if that is the case, shouldn’t he take a leave of absence from wrecking America?

I couldn’t care less. Harry Reid is poison to our constitutional system.

I agree, Reid is an enemy to the Republic and Constitution and I only wish him the worst.

Reid hasn’t seemed quite right for a while now. Remember that time he called a fellow senator his “pet”?

“I’m going to be very honest with you — Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He’s my pet. He’s my favorite candidate,” Reid said.

He’s said some other weird stuff too. He just seems a little mentally off. How that wd make him not “feel well”, I don’t know. I just don’t think he’s as well integrated upstairs as the Dem caucus wd like us to believe.

We are all mortal. May he realize this and retire ASAP. He’s done plenty of damage already.

He’s probably just constipated.

In a perfect world, the headline would have read:

Reid jailed for treason.

He has not passed a budget in years, he has obstructed the recovery of the nation’s economy for political and personal gain.

He looks already dead. Please bury him.

I was taught from childhood that if you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.

So was I, but I am still going to say, he is a total, complete, 100%, pure, unadulterated evil, vile, scum sucking dirt bag, POS, SOB, Mo Fo. Did I miss anything?
