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.”
“Recovering from New Years? There’s a phony ring to the story....something they’re leaving out”
Anyone remember- Clinton “Falling” at Greg Norman’s house?
He was drunk as a skunk and FELL off Greg’s porch-
New years?- yeah ...right... he was exercising...
another load off bull.
Actually if he had said I was partying -got drunk and fell..
that might be enough to get him re-elected in Nevada
Personally, I can’t get enough of this. LOL
Who could get close enough ?
I think some one of his "trusted" circle which, IMO, if true, will probably duplicate itself around the Washington crowd.
People that are Washington people are not all necessarily evil commie types.
I'll bet there's a whole bunch of reasonably American people ... and many may be fresh out of college kids, that went there for the experience and the money/prestige and had their noses bloodied and eyes opened ... and just may be the fifth column we would like to think could/would develop.
The pinky reid's are fairly well protected from harm .... unless ....
Reid was engaged is some serious tea bagging.
I sure hope Harry doesn’t have the high deductible Obama care plan. O that’s right they are all high deductible
Gee, good thing Reid is covered by Obamacare. Sure members of Congress have their own Cadillac plan not like us peons
Honestly, I thought this was satire.
Next:
-Will harry be suing the "piece of equipment" company?
-Was this a Christmas gift?
-What type of equipment was he using and was he dressed?
-was he drunk? any lemons nearby?
-Harry exercises?!!! That's one New Year's Resolution he can mark off as "fail"
-Geography: Where are ribs located on a face? or is his face located on his torso?
I can't wait to see his new "facelift"
Nope.
Not doing it.
Wouldn't be prudent...
>> Broken ribs can hurt like hell, making breathing painful, for 3 weeks or so
I hope the pain doesn’t turn him from a nice guy into a hateful, grumpy prick.
Oh wait...
I’m not buying that story; I think one of Harry’s mob cronies was displeased and sent him a message.
I sure hope Harry doesn’t have the high deductible Obama care plan. O that’s right they are all high deductible
It's just that in this world there's not much good news.
>> 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.
Hey, speak for yourself! I was kind of groovin’ on reading that particular headline over and over and over and...
Well I reject your rejection... an attempt to engineer a secular do-over for America is simply going to fail. The good attitude I spoke of would have been enthusiastically endorsed by George Washington. He did not waste emotional energy cursing out his military enemies, let alone his political ones.
Allegations by an alligator
This kind of thing happens to mobbed upped politicians.
ISIS guys with Ebola and now this. Starting out as an EXCELLENT year...
That must hurt REALLY bad.
At his age this will take months to heal from.
:-)
Fractured face is a very weird injury for a fall.
