WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid became the latest Democrat to stray into rhetorical trouble Tuesday, botching statements on three subjects in one news conference — including the fragile health of the chamber's most senior members. .. Asked if the cancer was in remission, Reid replied, "As far as I know, it is, yes."
...
Reid was then asked about Sen. Robert C. Byrd, .. Reid reported that Byrd was to be released from the hospital Tuesday or perhaps later in the week.
Not exactly.
"Senator Byrd is improving," responded his spokesman, Jesse Jacobs. "But his doctors, in consultation with his family, have not yet determined when he will be released."

Permanently
The US Senate has become like the House of Lords...one is there FOR LIFE. The dear Lord is taking mercy on us all and taking a few home.
Reid had a mild stroke in 2006. One just never knows.
When they pull the sheet over Byrd’s head, it won’t the first time. They could wheel him into Senate chambers to vote for the next 20 years and nobody would be the wiser.
Appears the house of congress should be named the “house of babble”.
No one, of course, was talking about releasing terrorism suspects among the American populace. Imprisoning them, perhaps, but not releasing them
Of course they are but the media continues to lie for them
You got that right! About 20 yrs.
Harry is such a tight a*s that the air supply to his brain must be cut off.
I pray he’s not having another one.
About Byrd
"Senator Byrd is improving," responded his spokesman, Jesse Jacobs. "But his doctors, in consultation with his family, have not yet determined when he will be released."
Did the administration put Democrats in an awkward position, asking for the money before setting out how it would be spent?
"Not at all," said Reid.
"Yes," his deputy, Sen. Dick Durbin replied to the same question
Helluva news conference.
Hope he had his nametag on.
Lord, someone do this country a favor & get rid of the likes of PeLIESi & incompetent Reid.
“When they pull the sheet over Byrd’s head, it won’t the first time...”.....
