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.”

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.
It seems harder and harder to believe Harry Reid’s story.
Karma bit Harry, big time. It’s safer to let Karma deal with him.
Some union thug earned a big bonus for roughing him but not killing him.
Snort, giggle.
I say he got the Eddie Barzoon treatment.
look at his left chin. It’s been hit many times. I would say a southpaw beat him up. Obama is a southpaw.
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.
Looks like Reid got nailed by a left hook! So appropriate...
Prolly one of those that Chuck Norris peddles! ;)
“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.
I don’t wish injury on anyone. What goes around, comes around.
Indeed he does. He was a mob lawyer.
Couldn’t agree more. This POS deserves everything he gets.
