REID BREAKS FACE...

We're only two days into the new year and I've never broken a resolution this early, so I'll refrain from posting a comment on this article.

But I'm thinking it, though.

Sounds like a pretty sh##y NY's resolution Rufus. Come one let err rip!

He did this damage, supposedly, when he fell on his morning run. his exercise is killing him!

I wonder if the ER attendant took him aside and asked if he felt safe at home?

He was transferred to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas for further testing and was admitted "as a precaution," the senator's office said.

That's better. Dingy won't come into icky contact with the great unwashed there, and he can be treated like the royalty he is.

Yeah he's a Senator and they have that Cadillac insurance coverage. Harry breaks a few bones around his eye socket and they admit him as a precaution.

Have they checked the home and interviewed Mrs. Harry Reid??? Sounds like Harry may be at risk when he returns if you ask me.

OK, So What Really Happened to Harry Reid?

We wrote here about Harry Reid’s supposed close encounter with a piece of exercise equipment, which handed him in the hospital. The equipment was later claimed by Reid’s office to be an elastic exercise band. This is how the accident allegedly happened:


The accident happened when an elastic exercise band broke, striking Reid in the face and causing him to fall, said spokesman Adam Jentleson. Reid struck some equipment as he fell, breaking multiple bones near his right eye.
As he hit the floor, he broke several ribs, Jentleson said. … Jentleson said Reid is likely to have severe facial bruises.

The accident happened on New Year’s Day, but we were never told whether that meant after midnight on New Year’s Eve, or the middle of the afternoon on January 1. Lots of people must know the answer to that question, but so far they aren’t talking. I suppose it is barely possible that an elastic exercise band could break, hit someone in the face and cause him to fall down. And I suppose he could injure his face and break ribs in the fall, although the ribs, especially, seem like a stretch.

Originally, Reid’s office said that he expected to be at work when the Senate session opened. But that didn’t happen; Reid is now laid up indefinitely, although his office released photos to show that he is working from home. It was disclosed today that, in addition to his other injuries, he suffered a concussion. Dick Durbin offered a more detailed version of what happened to Reid:

“So, he was stretching these straps and one broke and tossed him like a slingshot against cabinets, built-in cabinets,” Durbin told reporters. “He crashed into it with his face and the side of his body.” I doubt that any elastic exercise band could break and thereby toss a person like a slingshot. This set includes an “extra heavy” band with 45 pounds of resistance:What does it look like happened to Reid? He looks like he has been in a fight, and not with an elastic band. Some are speculating that he had a run-in with Las Vegas underworld characters. There is zero evidence for that. And I might be completely wrong: perhaps Reid is an unsteady, elderly gentleman with precarious balance, and a snapping band caused him to fall with what seems like extraordinary force. But I doubt it. I think it is questionable whether we are being told the truth about what happened to Harry Reid.
