WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid is back on the Senate floor speaking about legislation, a week after surgery to remove a blood clot in his right eye and repair bones in his face.

The 75-year-old Reid walked without assistance to his podium in the Senate, accepted a welcome back handshake from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and thanked his colleagues for their well-wishes. His eye was bandaged and his jaw appeared bruised.

Reid broke bones in his face and fractured ribs when a piece of exercise equipment broke at his new home in Nevada.

Doctors are optimistic that Reid will regain vision in his injured eye, although they are not yet able to say for sure. He missed the first two weeks of the new session.

There is just no way I can believe his injury was caused by exercise equipment. It seems too stupid to be real.

I was wondering if he’d return to the Senate sporting an eye-patch and a parrot.

I heard Reid’s accident was fatal and Ian McDiarmid (based on his eerily accurate portrayal of Reid in Star Wars) was hired to double...

when a piece of exercise equipment broke

TOTAL LIE.

Give us the name of the equipment model and maker, Mr. Reid ... oh, you don't want to talk about it anymore?

What a surprise.

How could he possibly bash himself up that much ??

We’re supposed to believe he had an accident while ... working out ?

I realize the guy was a boxer in his day, but still... something about this seems pretty extreme.

You can repeat that forever Harry but nobody with 1/2 brain is ever gonna believe that! (I believe this is Harry's 2nd black eye but i couldn't find any reference to his 1st ...I'm quite sure i remember reading about it awhile back though...any Freepers remember the 1st????)

There is a certain percentage of the population that will believe anything no matter how stupid and unbelievable if repeated often enough.
