Exercise injury my arse; old Harry got on the wrong end of a Vegas style beat down.

[tflabo]

Why does the Senate have to be a Seniors Retirement home for the aged and feeble? These old goats aim to stay until taken out in the stiff, horizontal position. just retire already Harry—you wont be missed.

If he doesn’t sue the manufacturer of the equipment, it didn’t happen.

[DaxtonBrown]

It seems harder and harder to believe Harry Reid’s story.

[WellyP]

Karma bit Harry, big time. It’s safer to let Karma deal with him.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Some union thug earned a big bonus for roughing him but not killing him.

[jetson]

How could a wimp like Harry put enough tension on a exersise band to cause that damage.

[bikerman]

Snort, giggle.

[NonValueAdded]

I say he got the Eddie Barzoon treatment.

I have tried very hard to visualize the exercise band incident the way this POS describes, and it can’t possibly be true. If he was holding it when it snapped and hit him in the eye, that’s one thing; the force has been dissipated. But he then continues this fantasy by stating that the impact caused him to fall over with enough force to actually break three ribs and cause a concussion.

The show “Mythbusters” needs to reinact this ludicrous scenario to prove or disprove it. And Harry Reid needs to retire because he’s either too old and stupid to exercise uneventfully with a 1-inch piece of rubber or latex or he’s an effing liar.

“Three days a week I have an exercise routine. I do 250 situps, I some yoga-type stuff for a little while and then I’ve been using for the last three or [so] plus years, these bands. I use one that’s the second-strongest you can get, it’s dark grey. Anyway, I do those things hundreds of times three days a week. I do different routines. And I was doing almost finished at my new home in Nevada and the band broke and it catapulted me backwards and to one side. I crashed into a series of cabinets we have and fortunately it missed my temple by just a little tiny bit and it hit me in my right eye and it broke a number of bones around my right eye and broke four ribs and a few bruises other places.”

Hope it knocked some sense into him.

[bigbob]

I don’t wish injury on anyone. What goes around, comes around.

[SeekAndFind]

I'd rather he recovers his eyesight and lost his senate seat

[Thank You Rush]

“”I don’t know how many people out there could sit down and do 250 pushups””

Good gravy - he just proved what we’ve been saying all along. He doesn’t know if he’s afoot or horseback.

He sits down to do 250 pushups?? Yes, siree!

This chart lists the different types of therabands and their corresponding pressures. Maybe some physics person here can test Reid’s story out.

[SoFloFreeper]

He always reminded me of Mullah Omar...

[KSCITYBOY]

More to this story than a resistance band

[spokeshave]

Ha....Harry can be a stand in for the Bind Sheik....

....seen here with Obama discussing his release and transit back to ISSS.

[Pollster1]

Reid has been blind to so much for his entire career that full blindness would not be much of a change.
