Broken bones often cause damage to nearby organs.
No worry in this case as doctors found no evidence of heart or brain in the patient.

It's a dead cert he will never suffer a brain injury from exercising it.

I no longer believe anything that comes out of this government.

I've been in gyms a lot, and while yes you can get hurt, the extent of Reid's injuries are profound.

Eye socket and ribs?
Sounds more to me like someone gave Reid a "talkin' to".

I sense a lawsuit and settlement in the very near future of the exercise machine company. Sick.

Where can I get that piece of exercise equipment? There are several others in Washington that I'd like to send a similar one to. If only they'll use it!

"Here's your sign." Retire now!

Given his age I doubt it was an equipment failure. Most likely he fell off the machine probably from an neurological imbalance. I have been around elderly people in my own family that had seen such problems. Also, when you hear him speak shows other neurological impairments occurring. Even with current medicine that can keep our bodies going but the brain is a lot more complicated. Some one could say their fine and can fool people around them, eventually further accidents will occur. That why we must have term limits for Senators and Congressmen/women. Until technology can get to the point where microchips could be implanted in the brain in place of the area's that are failing Public Office Holders should not go beyond a certain age limit also. The knucklehead should have stuck to walking up and down the capital steps if he even does that!

Mr. Veto is one of my favorite people. . this is an
extremely sad day in the annals of our republic.
I wish him well, and a happy retirement.
immediately, if not sooner. -- j

Surely he will sue, looking for an additional source of retirement pay. Should have happened a long time ago.

just goes to show how hardheaded he is.
i hope they replace the rubberband with a stronger one.

Reid not Boehner - oh well.
