Karma really is a bitch....



Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid is in a Las Vegas hospital following injuries sustained while exercising at home.
A statement issued Friday by Reid’s office said doctors expect a “full recovery.”
“A piece of equipment Senator Reid was using to exercise broke, causing him to fall and break a number of ribs and bones in his face,” according to the statement. “Senator Reid will return to Washington this weekend and be in the office Tuesday as the Senate prepares to reconvene.”
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.
Jentleson said tests found no bleeding in his brain or other internal bleeding.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

He should just stay home until he is better. Or passes away, which ever way it goes.

CAN'T...STOP...LAUGHING...CAN'T...BREATHE

[TFOGGER]

Before I opened this,I thought"How can a treadmill kick someone in the balls?"...I guess broken bones will do.

[BPTactical]

CAN'T...STOP...LAUGHING...CAN'T...BREATHE

Right there with ya!

But I do dispute a claim from the article: "no bleeding in the brain"
I call bullshit, for bleeding to be possible we know that would involve a heart, something the fuckstick does not have. It would also imply he has a brain, which again is an outright falsehood.

Article title should read: "Potato falls from treadmill"

[Mtn.man]

It's a cover up, his Illegal housekeeper pushed him down the stairs, Fast and Angrily.

Simple physics....... He leans so far to the left, gravity and his equipment got their revenge.

[Big E3]

I wish they had video to release, smacked in the face with a piece of rubber and folds like a lawn chair with a face plant, priceless! With his propensity for revenge I feel sorry for the equipment manufacture of the band that broke.

I have heard that a number of republican senators have wanted to break bones in his face for years. He should be looking into any services performed in his home in the last few days. I say "Sabotage"

[Ah Pook]

I'd like to buy that machine a beer.

Good one!!

[02ducky]

Cant wait for him go try and ban treadmills now... its for the children.

I would love it if he had to get his whining little jaw wired shut... couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow.

[HoneyBadger]

Exercise equipment? Likely story. It was probably his wife. He probably fell down the stairs.

[ray1970]

Wouldn't it be funny if another article surfaced about several republican senators being treated for hand and foot injuries due to undisclosed injuries suffered in a gym?

[Irving]

I hope no one from off site sees this thread. There is ZERO mention of a treadmill in the article.

[Zundfolge]

It's a cover up, his Illegal housekeeper pushed him down the stairs, Fast and Angrily.

In all seriousness I bet that falling while "exercising" is probably a lie told by his staff to protect him ... he's probably suffering from dementia or some other ailment that should get him removed from office ... much like what I think Hillary's staff did when she fell and hit her head.

[sniper7]

I got a big smile on my face reading this picturing the events unfold in my mind.

[TFOGGER]

My wife:"He was just drunk..."

/thread

[BushMasterBoy]

Kinky stuff with a hooker...

[Big E3]

I can't wait to see him handing over the leadership gavel to the republicans and he has to stand there sheepishly beat up with a black eye, a very visually satisfying end to his reign.

[Bailey Guns]

I hope the treadmill wasn't hurt.

[ChunkyMonkey]

I hope the treadmill wasn't hurt.

Yep I am wondering which brand and model it is. I don't mind gifting it to few libs as late Christmas presents

What REALLY Happened to Harry Reid….POSTED ON JANUARY 2, 2015 BY SOOPERMEXICAN (http://soopermexican.com/author/soopermexican/) 4 COMMENTS (http://soopermexican.com/2015/01/02/what-really-happened-to-harry-reid/#disqus_thread)
It’s being reported that Harry Reid broke his face and ribs in an accident involving exercise equipment that broke while he was using it! I’m a little suspicious that’s not the entire story.
This photo was taken yesterday from a surveillance camera outside Harry Reid’s office:

Coincidence? I think NOT.

I really doubt a skinny man of his age, with his wealth, is going to have cheap equipment that he bought off craigslist. He got drunk.

Maybe but, Harry is LDS and they don't drink usually. But as he is a senator, he is most likely a church elder as well so I don't see the drinking aspect.

It seems that some of their own don't care for his stances on some issues. Perhaps some members of the NV gaming association had a meeting with Harry and voiced their own opinion of how Harry is doing in his support for their position on certain issues.

Treadmill accidents are real! (Not that I don't find the story fishy)

[Bailey Guns]

It depends on what the definition of "workout" is.

[Irving]

Nothing about the story is fishy at all, considering that the piece of equipment that broke was an elastic band, which is a primary exercise tool for the elderly. Am I on ignore?

No, you're not on ignore, but reality is not as funny as what's going on in this thread.

[Irving]

I don't know, but to me, imagining an old man getting snapped in the face with an elastic band and then falling face first onto a weight rack is way more funny than falling off of a treadmill.

[HoneyBadger]

You should have pretended that you couldn't see his post because you put him on ignore... [Neene3]

But it's not anywhere near as funny as speculating about Harry Reid getting drunk and being beat up by his "date's" pimp...

[Limited GM]

Any of you guys ever play with a wrist rocket, as a kid, and have one of those bands break at full draw? Not only hurt like a Mudder fugger, but friggin' hilarious to observe your buddy do it.

Mywife was a Personal Trainer for years. She used the bands that I speculate Reid was using. I can only imagine how hard that thing would slap a pimp.

In high school physics we were making a catapult out of those. The teacher took us outside with some bands and had us shoot stuff. If I remember correctly, I a band to the face at full draw. Not the most fun. Good thing there weren't any weight racks around or I might have broken my face too. :p

He does not even have to get the normal $20K per year plan that does not pay for crap like the rest of us "Little People" .Gov types. If he did his "co-pay" would sit at about $1200 right now.

I ended up watching this whole thing. Never thought of treadmills as such a danger. I did learn to NEVER put the "ejection chute" of the treadmill against a wall. Unless of course, you hate said wall, or like having your body parts belt sanded.

Pretty ironic that he might lose his right eye. He seems pretty darn proud of his physical abilities. My lib sister-in law says he benches 220 20 times every day. I gotta admit, he is a very cut 75 year old! not.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid says he could lose sight in one eye as a result of an exercise accident but is optimistic about a full recovery including running for re-election in 2016.
The 75-year-old Nevada Democrat said he sustained the injury and several others while exercising at home on New Year’s Day. Reid, the Senate’s top Democrat, told an NPR affiliate in Las Vegas that he was injured when an exercise band snapped and "catapulted" him into cabinets but also touted his exercise regime that includes hundreds of pushups several days a week.
“I don’t know how many people out there could sit down and do 250 sit-ups or do the strength exercise I did with those bands hundreds and hundreds of times -- hundreds of times -- every week, three times a week,” he told the station.
Reid sustained a concussion and broke four ribs and several bones around the severely injured right eye, which kept him from returning this week to Capitol Hill for the first days of the new, 114th congressional session.
Reid said he cannot see as long as blood remains accumulated in the eye but that his doctors are “hopeful” about a full recovery.
He said he was just finishing his regimen when the band broke and he was “catapulted … backwards and to one side.”
Though Reid said he thinks he’s "doing pretty good,” he acknowledged the recovery “is going to take a bit of time” and that he’ll miss the annual congressional Democratic retreat, scheduled for next week in Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, Sens. Chuck Schumer, N.Y., and Dick Durbin, Ill., are leading Democrats in the upper chamber.
To perhaps bolster confidence in Reid’s physical capacity to lead, a spokesman for the minority leader tweed his workout regimen: “To recap Sen. Reid's exercise routine: 250 SITUPS 3x/wk (750 total). Arm & chest: 420 reps w/exercise band 3x/wk. Walks 3 mi/day. Plus yoga."
“I’ve always been fairly confident in my ability to fight back,” said Reid, a former amateur boxer who in November was unseated as Senate majority leader. “I’ll continue to fight back. I’m in the process of setting up for the next go-around.”
