Adam Jentleson, the senator's spokesman, told the Associated Press that the accident occurred when an elastic exercise band broke and hit the 75-year-old Reid in the face, causing him to fall. As the senator fell, Jentleson said, Reid struck part of the equipment and broke several bones near his right eye. Reid broke several ribs as he hit the floor.

Now, now, no laughing. Maybe this is the Lords way of telling him to retire, first he loses senate now...... :whistling:

With the crazy names Hollywood stars and others name their kids these days can we be sure it wasn't done by a disgruntled spoiled liberal brat named "Exercise Machine"....or "Rubber Band"? :-)
-
Immediate reaction...good.
-
Could this be a harbinger of a good year?
-
are we sure he didn't choke on a pretzel, pass out and hit the floor face first?
-
Harry, don't piss off Valerie Jarrett, yo.
-
You know that eventually somebody will get sued over this incident...

Hmmm. Exercise equipment? Harry pumps iron?
Color me skeptical.
This injuries (broken ribs and broken bones near the eye) sound more like old Harry got beat up to me.

Some kids dad caught Harry the pederast Reid looking at his kid. It could be since Harry has never denied the allegations. :-)

Seriously? I work with exercise bands and older folks daily. Yeah. It's just a band. Sometimes they break.
I knew he was a woosey.
He's just fixing for a lawsuit. Typical Dem.

Too much champagne on New Year's Eve.

I heard it happened at his home. The makers of the equipment will settle, though.

No worry, he's got another face.

Greyt comment. :-) Maybe there's hope that the dour grump will leave politics.

Color me a bit skeptical of the explanation that he was hit in the face with a resistance band that broke and also caused him to fall, breaking ribs. Yes older people work out (I'm >60 and do something more 5-7 days a week - treadmill or outdoor trails, hand weights, half marathons). Resistance bands are popular equipment, and obviously can wear out. But I cannot imagine Reid being so penny-pinching as to buy cheap crap or so stupid that he would continue using a band that is obviously badly worn. Either is possible, but would take a greater degree of stupidity than I attribute to him.
The scenario I think more likely is that he was holding and pulling on both ends of a band (using handles attached to each end) that was wrapped around a pole (or something similar), one end slipped, and in falling backwards the handle snapped back and hit him in the face. The snap-back of the handle would account for the facial injuries; the fall would account for the broken ribs.
Or maybe one end of the band was hooked onto something, came loose, causing the fall and hitting him in the face.
The narrative of the band breaking while being used in a similar way would not account for the severity of his facial injuries.
-
Speaking, still, dispassionately, I think Reid's health and physical condition are such that he either needs to do something different to work out, or he should have some one supervising to improve his safety. Doing so after retiring would also, I think, be wise (in addition to the, from my perspective, good-riddance factor).

I'm with Mr. Mannn. Injuries are a whole lot more consistent with a 'Warning' than with his description.

While I like your idea, DAT, who the **** would give ol' Dingy, Harry Reid a 'warning' like that? They'd have to have balls the size of the Superdome.

Don't forget, Harry had ties to the boxing commission in Nevada. They dealt with very unsavory characters.

Bingo. This has all the marks of The Mob making a point.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe he's learning that he gets much less respect as minority leader than majority leader. Perhaps some of his enemies realize that, too. As nasty as Reid is, can't believe that he has only friends.

If Harry doesn't have a lawsuit filed against the manufacturer of the "exercise equipment" by lunch time Monday morning, you may rest assured that the only "equipment" involved in marking up His Lordship was a set of brass knuckles.
:popcorn:

Maybe Dingy Harry will get to enjoy more of the mess he helped to create with owebumacare...

Even the libs are getting beat down by other libs when they try to defend owebuma's biggest steaming pile.
