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.).

RELEASE THE PHOTO!!!
Reid fell! It’s all Bush’s fault....
Maybe knocked some sense into him. I doubt it, though.
Drug test him.
We didn’t wish him any physical injury. But since it happened, we are sending him the sympathy he deserves.
Thats a lot more than he felt for you when he crammed Obamacare up your petard.
Please, God; let it have knocked some sense into the old SOB’s head.....
Who knew?
He looks like he can barely walk.
LoL! That's exactly what I was thinking.
Make him wait for medical treatment in some socialist system.
Why lie about something like that? These people are compulsive liars.
If Reid had Obamacare, he would have been given an aspirin and sent home from the hospital. Yeah he’d have to wait to see a doctor under the socialist Obama government.
I take no pleasure or satisfaction from reports of his injuries, rather I wish him a speedy recovery.
But I sure wish that he would come to his senses and stop damaging this nation with his deceitful words and his wrongheaded actions. He has less than two years remaining in his tenure as Majority Leader. That’s hardly enough time to repair all of the damage that he has caused, but at least he could get started with it...
He was’t running, he was assaulting someone’s car.
The doctor was heard to say, “Sorry Senator, you’ll have to ‘pass’ before I can tell what’s wrong inside you.”
Did he fall on his butt?................
No. If he had he would have broken his head instead.
If he would learn to keep his hands off other people's property,this would not have happened. What, his mother never told him this? Mine did, she said 'Don't touch that, it is not yours.'
But Nooo, he puts his hands on another man's car, wet from the rain, and it slips.
He is a Democrat. Look for a new law requiring anti-slip paint and a lawsuit against the car owner for parking where it could be easily leaned on. Crap-weasel.
Mongo just pawn in game of life.
Simple assumption:
1) Bump on forehead
2) “Undertaker Harry” was joking
Just putting two and two together.
FK him. Wish he snapped his neck!
