Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) dislocated his shoulder and suffered a bump to the forehead after slipping Wednesday morning while exercising in the rain.

A spokesman for Reid said the Democratic leader fell after one of his regular early morning runs and was treated immediately at George Washington University.

The aide said the injury was not serious and Reid is feeling fine. The leader was back at the Capitol Wednesday morning, holding meetings with colleagues.

Reid fell after leaning with his hand on a wet parked car. His hand slipped and the leader tumbled to the ground.

The fall left him with a contusion above the left eye.

Reid, who was described as "joking all the way to the hospital," did not address the Senate as usual Wednesday morning, but a spokesman said it was because he was attending an event for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).

Did he fall on his butt?................

Reid, who was described as "joking all the way to the hospital,"

Sounds like concussion-induced delirium, if you ask me.

Harry Reid’s so ugly, when he was born, the Dr. slapped his mother.

I heard he was drunk and tripped while removing his pink silk panties.

That old fart runs???

Who knew?

He looks like he can barely walk.

Hmmm, not enough sense to come in out of the rain.

So we can ‘rule out’ the Wookie......

Dump him in the ocean and say a few words over him as he sinks.

Funny, I have to go to my primary care doctor's office. If it's after office hours I have to wait until the next day unless I am unconscious, a bone is broken extending thru the skin(a regular broken bone does not count), or my breathing is compromised from the injury.

At least that's my medical coverage.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Reid is a turd, but I don’t wish him physical injury, for Pete’s sake.

“Did he fall on his butt?................”

...must have. It says he suffered a concussion.

No, no, no! My prayers were for a broken hip. I said a fall in the shower, resulting in a broken hip.

“Doc, I don’t know what’s wrong with me! I get up in the morning and look in the mirror and I want to throw up!”

“I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but your eyesight’s perfect!”

“I want a second opinion!”

“OK, you’re ugly, too!”

Thanks, Rodney.

Just when you think things can’t get any better, they do!

When he finally heals, will he proclaim, "This sore is lost"......?

I don’t give a smelly Obama about Reid.

However, when he does “pass” I want to know his grave location so that I can take a smelly Obama on it.

[edpc]

He’s going to censure Rush for calling him a “phony jogger.”

[FoxInSocks]

That’s a very charitable headline. He wasn’t running. He was just standing around.

good stuff!
