Mr. Reid, 75, who suffered serious eye and facial injuries in a Jan. 1 exercise accident at his Las Vegas home, said he had been contemplating retiring from the Senate for months. He said his decision was not attributable either to the accident or to his demotion to minority leader after Democrats lost the majority in November’s midterm elections.

It is true! Invertebrates are the first to sense cataclysmic changes coming to their environment. 2016 is heaving and he needs a rock to crawl under.

Guess he’ll be going out on top of his game. Him, Obama and Pelosi have destroyed much of America so there’s not much left for him to do. Obama get’s to continue the assault on America for another year.
