Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) fell and broke “a number of ribs and bones in his face” after an exercise accident in his home on Thursday, his office said.

“On Thursday, Senator Reid received treatment at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for injuries sustained in an accident he suffered while exercising at home in Henderson,” his office said in a statement Friday morning. “A piece of equipment Senator Reid was using to exercise broke, causing him to fall and break a number of ribs and bones in his face.”

“Senator Reid will return to Washington this weekend and be in the office Tuesday as the Senate prepares to reconvene. His doctors expect a full recovery,” the statement said. “Senator Reid was first brought to St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson by his security detail. He was then transferred to UMC for further testing, where he was admitted overnight as a precaution.”

I'm thinking it was caused by one of his nocturnal "business associates" letting him know that they ain't pleased to find out all those promises he made as Senate Majority Leader, well, now he can't live up to them.

Interesting coincidence, Harry also had a similar accident in May, 2011, where he suffered a black eye and a dislocated shoulder. He described the injury as having occurred when he was "out running".

I never realized that decrepit old fool was so interested in physical fitness. Or not.

Oh BS! This is the second time he's sustained facial injuries. Somebody’s using Harry as a pushing bag.

[liberalh8ter]

Pushing = punching. Dang autocorrect.

"Exercise accident."

Rrriiiggghhhtttt.

What kind of equipment?

...

My first reaction was this is a cover story. But I can also see how a person can do a faceplant on a treadmill, though I still doubt the part about the equipment breaking.

Him fell down and go boom.
I thought his sour face expression surely would have repelled the ground.

[Darksheare]

” ribs and bones in his face.”

Wait, he has ribs in his face?
Scaffolding supporting his human suit?

[my right]

yea, I had a horse step on my chest one time and it was at least two years before I could sneeze without it being followed by a grunt of pain.

[catfish1957]

It ain’t room temperature, but it is a start.

[pf flyers]

I’m thinking it’s a cover story for some kind of plastic surgery.

[Sacajaweau]

He was on an exercise bike.....supposedly....

Evidence indicates that leftys with gold-plated healthcare tend to be almost eternal...(Soros, J. Carter, Castro bros, etc)

[csvset]

My first thought too. Some goons conveyed a message to him.

[petro45acp]

“...moose bites can be very painful...”

[csvset]

Sports equipment, a pool cue.

He’s a temple recommend Mormon. If he had an alcohol related accident, what cover story would you make up?

[peeps36]

Exercising my ass. I would bet money that Dirty Harry planted his face into the ground while he was as drunk as a skunk.He must have been drowning in his sorrows after losing the senate. Hey Harry, up your ass pal.
