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.”
Good, I hope it hurts like hell. The SOB deserves every bit of it.
Schadenfreude
Dunno, I’ve found that class works better than crass.
Really? You ask Why?
Its common, normal and ordinary for moderators to pull (or lock) duplicate posts.
Who wants to browse Free Republic only to see 7 or 8 threads (almost in a row) that Harry Reid broke ribs and bones in his face.
The mods are just doing some housekeeping.
The reason this kind of attitude should be objected to is not because he was such a wonderful politician. It’s because we are going to have to return to Christian faith in order to be blessed — and this is one of its non negotiables.
It is not a bunch of good advice that America needs. It is a Savior.
Hey Harry, take to rope climbing next.....maybe you’ll get tangled up.
Couldn’t have happened to a better guy! Here’s to hoping for gangrene!

Yes, it would almost be more believable if it were about Boehner falling down the stairs after a night of celebrating putting it to Conservatives.
Maybe he gets an invite to take some herbal tea with Polonius.
Oof. Nice optics. Lotta black and blue as he hands over the majority leader gavel to the pubbies... (The lamestreamers will minimize coverage, no doubt.)
My mind went in that direction
Mine too. I don't believe the exercise machine story. I wonder what really happened.

Not all here are Christian. I respect your faith but reject your conclusions. I’d bet we agree that we are each entitled to our own views and conclusions.
Exactly. I get the feeling that Big Vinnie and Tony “Bag o’ Donuts” paid Reid a visit over some disagreement.
The circumstances sound a little suspicious. There have been rumors of Harry getting mentally addled. One has to wonder if that is the cause.
Here's another!
We should be concerned. Was the exercise equipment damaged or harmed in any way?
