Reid Changes Story, 'a ˜Big Metal left Hook' in the Wall?
[Breitbart] Was it really with an elastic band?

Reid: Yeah, I had a big, that thick (Reid gestures with his hands), that I had been using for about four years and I was, you know, trying to maintain my, uh, firmness, and, uh, that was my weight training. I was doing that in my new home here in Nevada and a big metal hook that came out from the wall that was hooked there that the strap had no handle on it, slipped, spun me around, uh, about, oh I guess four feet (Reid points with his right hand to the wall of the interview room) and so I smashed my face into a cabinet so hard that uh...

Ramos: It looked like somebody had hit you.

Reid: I am so fortunate that, um, it wasn't over just a fraction of this way and hit me in the temple.
Fortunate? Purely a matter of opinion, one might imagine.
Ramos: How's your eye?

#1  I sense the reason for the facial is probably more controversial than the appearance of having endured someone's wrath in the early morning of New Years day.

The reason is what I gotta know.

#5  The booking photo of Larry Reid that same night arrested a few miles away for DUI and resisting arrest answer all the questions except what the topic of the conversation was, and perhaps how much trouble was coming.

The Champ: Global Warming Gave My Daughter Asthma
[Daily Caller] Doubling-down on his campaign to tie global warming to respiratory illness, President Obama told ABC's "Good Morning America" that global warming gave his daughter, Malia, asthma when she was a toddler.

Scary stuff, but there's just one problem for the Champ: comments a couple years ago made by his wife Michelle suggest that being in a crowded circus with lots of dust and particles in the air triggered their daughter's asthma, not global warming. Their daughter also has a peanut allergy, and circuses are usually teaming with peanuts.
Their asthma story appears to be evolving.
Despite that glaring fact, the Champ continued to use his daughter's asthma to further political ends.
But, but, but I thought the royal kiddies were OFF LIMITS ?
"You worry the environment, the climate, has impacted on your own daughter," Dr. Richard Besser, ABC's chief health and medical editor, asked the Champ in an interview the day after the White House launched a renewed effort to tie asthma to global warming.
Nice set up Dr. Besser, very nice.
"Well you know Malia had asthma when she was 4 and because we had good health insurance, we were able to knock it out early," the Champ told Besser.

#1  Second hand tobacco smoke has been linked to asthma in children. Wouldn't know of anyone who did smoke around them?

#2  The circus dust was caused by global warming.
Posted by: gorb || 04/09/2015 0:24 Comments || Top||

#3  Obama's smoking habit is caused by global warming.

#4  Sashay and Bulimia will grow up to be just as embittered and demanding as their entitled grifter parents if there's not an intervention. Look at Chelsea

#5  I wonder what caused my asthma. This is what happens when we have a president who is functionally scientifically ignorant.

#6  Shameless, though points for actually talking about his real life family other than My Plea Sons.

"Well you know Malia had asthma when she was 4 and because we had good health insurance, we were able to knock it out early," the Champ told Besser

Gee, about the same time mom tied onto the University of Chicago Hospital. Bet that had a great insurance package plus some front of the line pull.

#7  Global warming turned me into a newt!

(But I got better.)

#8  Gee, Champ, have you ruled out vaccines?

#9  Let us not speak ill of our future presidents.
Posted by: KBK || 04/09/2015 11:01 Comments || Top||

#10  Apparently, it gave Obama brain rot (along with the weed he smoked in his choom gang.)
Posted by: JohnQC || 04/09/2015 11:05 Comments || Top||

#11  Asthma never goes away. It can stay dormant for a long time before becoming active again. I know from experience.
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 04/09/2015 13:09 Comments || Top||

#12  You ignorant, stupid little tool.

Even politization of your Daughters health.

#13  +1 to Sgt Mom
Posted by: rjschwarz || 04/09/2015 15:08 Comments || Top||

#14  It's possibly her diet. Not enough of the healthy oils in her diet. Olive oil and my preference coconut oil. I was born with it and beat it when I was 41. Chronic sinus drainage also sets you up for asthma and then bronchitis. Constant irritation.
