Reid, 74, had gone to the hospital as a precaution. "The doctors diagnosed him as morally exhausted, not anything more serious other than a slight touch of intellectual bankruptcy, but, that was to be expected, and have cleared him to go back to work," the statement said.
The Nevada Democrat missed several key Senate votes, as lawmakers realized they were better off with out him and wrapped up their work early before the holiday break.
Senate Assistant Majority Leader Richard Durbin earlier said that he had spoken with Reid when he found Harry wandering the parking lot asking passerbys if they had seen his integrity.
