BrunoBrimley 86 Posted August 20, 2005 Not a real biggie but what the hey. I realize that for the British clientele of this most esteemable forum this person may seem to be small potatoes but Harry Reid the Democratic Minority Leader has had a mild stroke. Word is that he will survive and his fellow Democrats are using this health scare to launch their 2016 election platform (they like to plan ahead that way they have only the best candidates ) of course looking at photos of Senator Reid I would have thought him dead a long while back. Anywhoople the only link I could locate was through Voice of america, if it fails use the google engine okay? Harry Reid ready to say goodbye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted August 20, 2005 Democrats, god what an awful species. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her repulsive spouse ughhhhh. I feel queasy. Yeah, I don't like those right-wingers either. This guy aint gonna die, unfortunately. Well, he will eventually, but this 'mild stroke' isn't likely to do him in. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted May 14, 2018 Underwent surgery for Pancreatic Cancer, and has had health issues for several years (remember when he fell on the treadmill?), don't expect him to see 80. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Szabaka 93 Posted May 14, 2018 His fight to not have Yucca Mountain used is costing the US Taxpayers and utility rate payers $1-billion per MONTH. Not to mention heightened security issues and environmental issues from that delay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted May 14, 2018 Reid's a tough cookie. He survived the 2010 Tea Party wave as a horribly unpopular party leader. Much respect for him. He's a trailblazer among Democrats and has 10x the balls of Schumer. Him and Pelosi suffered constant attacks and were barraged for decades by the regressives and persisted in doing what they thought would benefit the country. It will be a sad day when he goes.

gcreptile 10,966 Posted May 14, 2018 Hmm, they got it early, or so they say. But even then, the non-neuroendocrine version at stage I has a 5-year survival rate of only 14%. However, I think he'll have a slightly better chance than that - because he is tough and gets some of the best care. A bit like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I kind of liked him - when he was still active and I was obsessed with US politics. Could be feisty when he wanted to, didn't want it enough, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but he is nearly 80 and needs chemo.Pancreatic cancer has a habit of recurring with a hell of a vengeance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holy hell he isn’t 80? I pegged him for mid 80s. He looks like hell. He was a popular name to kick about after the treadmill thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted July 13, 2019 Update on his health From what I gather, the cancer didn't seem to be too big of a deal, but the chemo really took a toll on him. Definitely knocked a few years off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
