Harry Reid Might Lose Eyesight After Exercise Injury
mediaite ^ | Jan. 9, 2015 | Tina Nguyen

In an interview with KNPR that aired this morning, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) revealed that an exercise injury he suffered on New Year’s Day may leave him blind in one eye.

“I had a serious injury in my eye, there’s blood accumulation there, and we’re hoping that resolves itself,” he said. “As long as the blood is in the eye, it’s hard to see.”

The 75-year-old Reid was exercising in his own home with resistance bands when one snapped, flying into his eye and knocking him backwards, breaking three ribs and suffering a concussion. Reid added that he was under strict orders “not to be reading a bunch of emails.”

His leaving the Senate would cause great rejoicing in my house

...but if he stays it will truly be the Blind leading the blind.

Pretty bad for McConnell, when a rubber band does the job you can't seem to do!

What's next? A paper clip takes out Pelosi? Boehner beaten to the job?

That man doesn’t have the strength to put that much tension on a resistance band. Even Hulk Hogan has never suffered such an injury.

This is beyond story is so far outside the realm of belief, they guy is living in toon land if he expects this to be believed.

None so deaf as those who will not hear. None so blind as those who will not see.

Catholics don’t worship the pope, so far as I know.

Sounds like a great reason to retire Dingey Hairy.

I have always believed that one should refrain from speaking ill of the dead.

Regrettably, Harry remains among the living, so I feel compelled to wish him as much peace and painless healing.......... as he would wish for me.

Of course, there remains a chance that Harry could suffer a stroke and drop dead. On that good day, I will fall silent.... and go eat a piece for fresh homemade apple pie. ;>)

Maybe he should consult with Rand Paul.

Seriously I almost feel sorry for him.

We’ll know the truth, if this injury was truly caused by a piece of exercise equipment a lawsuit WILL be filed.

I suffered a detached retina a while back, and while it was resolved by an extremely talented eye doctor, it will never be the same as it was before.

I can think of nothing that I fear more than losing my eyesight, so I should be able to muster a little compassion for him, but I just cannot.

I truly don't care if he lives or dies.

He is such a small-minded, vindictive little shit, I really wish it would incapacitate him to the point of resigning from the senate.

I think he's gonna get beat, next time around, anyway.

At least I hope so.

Whiny little turd.

this is the second “exercise injury” in three years for dodgy harry

either his old lady is a better boxer than he is, or there are some jealous husbands out there that don’t like being made a fool of.

"Good boy, Harry.. now don't move off that story at all. You should know not to criticize me in public like you did."
