. . . because you don't wanna miss a meeting on Capitol Hill with Emanuel

Reid's wife hospitalized after traffic accident - washingtonpost.com:

Reid, D-Nev., went to the hospital after being notified of the accident and returned to Capitol Hill for a meeting with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on efforts to pass health care legislation. He went back to the hospital Thursday evening.

But I wish Reid's wife and daughter a speedy recovery.
