They gave him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Why is his face still bruised? I thought his injury was back in January.
No surprise at all. It isn’t easy for a bully to be out of power.
After his latest "accident", I didn't expect him to.
I liked living in Vegas up to the time Harry Reid took over in the US Senate.
I too, assumed that Harry Reid's smashed eye socket and crushed sinus cavity were the result of being tossed off a treadmill. We've all seen the videos on YouTube. Those things are dastardly, especially for a corrupt and feeble-minded old man.
However, the Reid camp never even claimed it was a treadmill accident. (That would have actually been plausible.) No, they claimed it was an accident where an elastic band broke (like a TheraBand) and flung him into some built-in cabinetry.
That just does not make sense. If working with a TheraBand and it breaks, the worst thing that will happen is it will give you a nasty red mark across the face. I guess maybe if you were using it to launch 20 pound dumbbells around the room, it could come back and whack you across the eye. But who works out like that? Or perhaps if you were hanging by the elastic band from the ceiling, it could break and you could fall into some cabinetry. Again, who works out like that? Or maybe if you were using it at the edge of a flight of stairs... or if you were using it while juggling chainsaws... you get the gist.

From spy novels, we learn that the best lies always contain an element of the truth. Tell the story the way it actually happened and just change the things that need to be changed. So it is likely that a) Harry Reid was working out at home; b) an elastic exercise band was involved; b) Reid was tossed into some built-in cabinetry; c) Reid is now quitting, saying it's not due to his "accident," which means that it is precisely because of his "accident." I think that about covers it for the truth in this story.
Makes you wonder if this has anything to do with that Bundy family still sitting on the 900 acres plus water rights east of Las Vegas almost a year to the day after Reid's thugs attempted to kill all of them. God bless the Bundys and keep them safe.
Ten years too late.
