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.).

Probably typo.
SHB, Old fart has the runs...
Sorry not buying the exercise excuse just tell the truth you fell getting into the car like lots of older folks do on occassion....
How about "Good riddance!"
Hmmmmmm. Navy SEALs raid Osama bin Laden’s compound and lay waste to it (and him). Shortly afterward, Harry Reid, a known sympathizer of America’s enemies, shows up all beat to hell. I’m not going to go so far as to say Mr Reid was having tea at Abbotabad, but it does seem an odd coincidence ...

In my world reading the account of his misfortune brought a smile to my face.
Mark Twain said it best, “I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”
In this case, I have never wished Harry Reid any harm, but I have read some news with great pleasure.
Trying hard to picture how that can happen. Sure your hand can slip and you regain you balance, maybe even slip into the cars side, but fall to the ground and hit your head? Just don't see it unless Reid is completely broken down as a human being without any strength.
Dumbass probably tripped over his own feet and hit the ground, too bad it was his head, probably broke the cement
Yep.
I’m surprised he hasn’t blamed the Tea Party yet.
