Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was not feeling well Friday morning and decided to go to the hospital, where he will remain as a precaution, his office said.

“Tests have been conducted, and everything is normal. He is alert, resting and feeling better,” spokesman Adam Jentleson said.

As a result, the Nevada Democrat will not be working as the Senate wraps up its pre-holiday work on Friday.

8. True...

But, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

3. There is more to this story....

I'm very concerned.....just a gut feeling that he has an undisclosed chronic illness which is unstable. Wasn't he hospitalized say within the year already? Forget the reason given....maybe GI?

6. Wouldn't blame his GI tract for going nuts,

after all those repugs have put him through.

Sen. Reid injured in I-15 motorcade crash
An investigation is ongoing into what caused Friday's chain-reaction crash involving U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who was rushed to the emergency room at University Medical Center by his security detail, a Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman said.

The 72-year-old Democrat from Nevada was released from the hospital about two hours after the 1:10 p.m. pileup on northbound Interstate 15 at Sahara Avenue, and officials with his office said he suffered rib and hip contusions but was otherwise unhurt.

They also said some of his staff and security detail had minor injures.

14. I saw the vote and when I heard he was absent because he was in the

hospital "for observation" I was concerned.

Glad to hear everything is fine.
