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 Years Day may leave him blind in one eye.
I had a serious injury in my eye, theres blood accumulation there, and were hoping that resolves itself, he said. As long as the blood is in the eye, its 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.

“”I dont know how many people out there could sit down and do 250 pushups””
Good gravy - he just proved what we’ve been saying all along. He doesn’t know if he’s afoot or horseback.
He sits down to do 250 pushups?? Yes, siree!

This chart lists the different types of therabands and their corresponding pressures. Maybe some physics person here can test Reid’s story out.
More to this story than a resistance band
....seen here with Obama discussing his release and transit back to ISSS.
Reid has been blind to so much for his entire career that full blindness would not be much of a change.
Does anyone really believe a resistance band snapped when being used by a 98lb weekling?
I want to know who beat the snot out of Harry Reid.
Any idea how much damage he did to the exercise equipment?
and I responded "And were he Catholic, you would say "Pray to the Pope"
You bounced back with
Catholics dont worship the pope, so far as I know...intimating that Mormons not only 'pray' but 'worship' Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
Where did I say anything about 'worship"? That's a stretch and misrepresentation of what I said.
BTW, Mormons don't "pray" to OR "worship" Joseph Smith or Brigham Young.
My point was: Why drag a persons religion into it? They are skunks in ALL religions.
But it still seems that many Freepers take any opportunity to slam the Mormon Church - even though the subject at hand has nothing to do with a person's religion.
Beneath, I would hope, Freepers.
After Harry Reid’s “Road to Damascus” experience what will they call him? Larry.?
Karma finally struck old dingy.
Harry Reid is a Mormon.
"The war is lost".
FUHR.
You have one too many "M's" there.
Well, good grief, I'm aware of that!
Everything I said still holds - and was said BECAUSE of your first remark -
I sense we're having a real communication problem - guess I'll pour me a brandy, maybe that'll get us on the same level ;)
Oh, no?
Brigham Young? Well, perhaps "only" culprits of overreverence...you might be right beyond that.
But Joseph Smith? Read the following pieces & then anybody tell us with a straight face that Joseph Smith isn't still worshipped by Mormons:
* Mormon Tabernacle Choir conductor: 'Praise to the Man'...hymn praises Joseph Smith [Smithmas vanity]
* Praising the Prophet.com
* 22. "Praise to the Man": A Review of the Annual Joseph Smith Memorial Sermons ['Smithmasing'] (for this one, especially click on the original BYU Religious Studies Center)
Smith -- Praise to the Man:
* PTTM I
* PTTM II
* PTTM III
* PTTM IV
* PTTM V
* PTTM VI
(I could go on and on with such links)
(Why approach a secondary servant when you have direct access thru the VERY SON!??)
"Hey, my embracing Joseph Smith and his cahorts as a CON-vert to Mormonism PROVES beyond a shadow of a doubt I NEVER had vision to begin with."
Indeed.
And, as he recooperates, perhaps BYU can invite him back again for an all-student body, all-prof, all-admin speakers' engagement.
Reid gets warm reception at BYU
Btw, 'Binger, thanks for posting that thread back in the Fall of '07.
