We wrote here about Harry Reid’s supposed close encounter with a piece of exercise equipment, which handed him in the hospital. The equipment was later claimed by Reid’s office to be an elastic exercise band. This is how the accident allegedly happened:
The accident happened when an elastic exercise band broke, striking Reid in the face and causing him to fall, said spokesman Adam Jentleson. Reid struck some equipment as he fell, breaking multiple bones near his right eye.
As he hit the floor, he broke several ribs, Jentleson said. …
Jentleson said Reid is likely to have severe facial bruises.
The accident happened on New Year’s Day, but we were never told whether that meant after midnight on New Year’s Eve, or the middle of the afternoon on January 1. Lots of people must know the answer to that question, but so far they aren’t talking. I suppose it is barely possible that an elastic exercise band could break, hit someone in the face and cause him to fall down. And I suppose he could injure his face and break ribs in the fall, although the ribs, especially, seem like a stretch.

Falling down drunk is my guess.
He got a BB gun for Christmas.
Got beaten senseless by one of the young boys he molests?
I could name two dozen such just off the top of my head. Politicians are hirelings to the people who really run things. Never forget that.
Is there a Reiders’ Digest version of the truf I can get caught up with?
I hope someone kicked the shit out of him!
My guess is he got drunk on New Years Eve and decided to straighten someone out. Like many an ugly drunk has learned, there’s always a tougher guy out there.
My guess is that he was kicked while down, a typical follow up for someone that wanted more than just knocking him down.
I seriously doubt the mob would lay a finger on him in a premeditated act. Harry is the president’s lap dog, he has friends in high places who can bring down a world of hurt on the mob and their operations.
I’m guessing this was a heat of the moment thing, possibly involving a prostitute. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if whoever hit him is no longer among the living.
Hmmm. Isn’t obama a lefty?
someone beat the crap outa him. for all the good work he’s done lately.
Does Husseincare cover that? Ew, that’s right. He opted out and is exempt.
But that's exactly who did this to him!
Yes, but we both know Obama is a wuss; hired thugs?
Harry is 75. He’s been on Medicare for a decade.
Most likely with a FEHB supplemental plan.
Hinderaker nails it. I knew the story was bogus from the get go.
There’s simply no way that an exercise equipment can do this much harm to one person.
......well, with just a little effort we could count up the ways the Union (mob) have come to hate Obama, Reid et al............Obamacare and XL Pipeline to name just two
He was probably drunk on New Years Eve and fell in a gutter only to be found the next morning drying out at the city jail.
