Reid Breaks ‘Number of Ribs and Bones in His Face’

Posted By Bridget Johnson On January 2, 2015 @ 7:21 am In Politics | 15 Comments


When the Senate comes into session for the 114th Congress on Tuesday, Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will be minority leader instead of majority leader.

He’ll also be recovering from painful injuries.

Reid’s office said today that the 75-year-old senator was treated on New Year’s Day at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for “injuries sustained in an accident he suffered while exercising at home in Henderson.”

“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,” said the statement. “Senator Reid will return to Washington this weekend and be in the office Tuesday as the Senate prepares to reconvene. His doctors expect a full recovery.”

The onetime amateur boxer was first brought to St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson by his security detail, his office said.

“He was then transferred to UMC for further testing, where he was admitted overnight as a precaution.”

Reid dislocated his shoulder and bruised his eye socket when he fell while running in the rain in 2011. The following year, he was sent to the hospital with contusions after his motorcade got into an accident.

This is a harbinger that I have been expecting for a while now.
 
I have nothing against old people at all, but since the majority of our government is being held by people 70, and even 80 years old, it is only natural that these guys are going to start falling like autumn leaves.
 
These guys have hung on to their jobs well far beyond a normal career. Over the next few years I am expecting fallout by the month to start over the next five years. It is simple nature.
 
It is going to be quite a transition, and it is going to happen almost all at once since these guys are all around the same age.
 
It will be weird, but I think we are going to start replacing almost everyone over the next few years. I just wonder who is going to replace them and what is coming around the bend.

One could come up with a myriad of scenarios where Sen. Harry Reid really suffered his injuries.

Helluva fun day for John Semmens, I'll tell yar!
