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.
I’ve been reading all the posts on this. Nobody has mentioned that maybe Harry was the one who picked a fight with someone.
More Happy New Year!
Someone upthread opined that Harry Reid took out some anger on a prostitute of his acquaintance and her pimp objected.
Well, gosh Harry. Sorry about your luck. /s
‘Ur breakin ma heart!’
I don’t like myself so much right now, either, but I just can’t stop laughing imagining this. Get better, Reid, you old commie Mormon you.
I must therefore remain silent.
Maybe this will encourage him to retire.
He may have had another stroke and lost consciousness,broken equipment may be cover story.
holy cow my voodoo doll really does work.
Hit it with the 32 oz Ball Peen.
As gently as possible let me convey my absolute unconcern for your opinion of my words or thoughts. I am not required to meet your expectations . In my opinion, I would be less of a man if I did.

Mods need to pull this thread too. Sometines my fellow FReepers disgust me.
Jesus himself said, “Kill your enemies, and spite those who spite you. Strive and struggle with those who offend you, in My name, the Son of Man.”
If you do not believe me, look it up. It is in 1 LAZ 4:19.
The worm used to be a boxer and probably still considers himself a “tough guy”. Must have gotten his ass kicked while drunk at a new years eve party somewhere.
Yeah, because laughing at a guy who sent armed men to bully a family on their property over a BLM dispute is so morally wrong.
Doesn’t Ol’ Bumfights know how much money he could get for this in a pay-per-view?
I think I saw that some sort of band on the piece of exercise equipment broke, hit him in the face, and then he fell fracturing ribs on part of the equipment. I’m getting a visual of the Mr. Burns character on the Simpsons trying to exercise...
Also, when elderly and falling, that is not unusual damage. My mom fell recently and hit her face on the concrete. I almost keeled over when I saw her a few days later. She looked as though someone had beaten her in the face.
Already the New Year is starting out great!
