Taking a page out of Sotomayor’s playbook?
She fractures her RIGHT elbow? Why, that’s definitive PROOF of a vast ‘right wing’ conspiracy out to get her!
Guess she won’t be winging any ashtrays at Slick’s head for a while, LOL!
What a pair.
They are covering up for her.
She broke it patting herself on the back.
To quote Jo Dee Messina: “My give a damn’s busted!”
Either that, or she mouthed off at Rahm.
one would have thought that her thighs would have cushioned the fall.
That hurts really bad.
I’ve done it.
I feel her pain.
Will they have to put her down, like they did Barbaro?
Now that’s humorous!
Shall we tell her to “put some ice on it?”
Good one.
LOL!
That’s the ticket!
I heard her cankle got caught under her her high heel as she was walking up the stairs.
Ouch, that’ll leave a mark!
No kidding. If this is true that hurts a LOT, will take a good bit of recovery attention, and will never be quite “right” again.
I am sure she will take the Obamacare route now just to show us peons that it will work /s
Will she be the first patient at Obama’s DC free clinic? If so will she stand in line to show she is a woman “of the people?”
If the government fixes it she will wake up finding her liver where her kidney use to be.
Quick, send her to Cuba for treatment!
Nurses beware. Bill is approaching.
dang, if only obama-care was in place.......she’d have to fix it herself with a shot of whiskey, 2 sticks and some throw out rags.......
Or Lady Thatcher’s?
Stop Anthropopgenic Gravitation Increase!
Must suck that she will have to wait 11 weeks for an x-ray.
/sarcasm
That’s a long way to go to get out of standing next to a beautiful woman for a publicity photo. Angelina Jolie is hot, but come on have some self respect.
VERY troubling that the LYING Cheryl Mills is her Chief of Staff.
Assuming that the living dead feel pain...
How long before she holds a press conference and proclaims her thankfullness that she has a wonderful health care plan, but unfortunately too many Americans do not and such an injury could cause bankruptcy for those familes?
Bush’s fault
Attention whore.
Unless she also fractured her a$$, maybe she’ll finally be able to tell the difference.
I fractured my right elbow while playing for a college team. Actually another player broke his racket over my arm up at the net.
“That hurts really bad.
I’ve done it.
I feel her pain.”
Are you biting your lower lip as you type that?
“Now that’s humorous!”

I thought it was HUMERUS.
I had a chip fracture just over the nerve to the “funny bone” on my right elbow. It was years before I could bear for it to touch anything, even a tight sleeve. The fracture wasn’t bad, the nerve problem was.
That said, I hope Hillary heals quickly, and without complications.
I shshshshsshshshsattered my elbow.
I cracked off the top of mine.
Seriously, it was horrible.
I do not like Hillary. But I don’t wish her harm, beyond abject failure, that is. Hope she’s O.K.
They tried to hit that tree trunk of a leg a few times but gave up and went for the elbow.
No Comment.
So what is this lawsuit going to cost the taxpayers? She should slow down to prevent a fall. Not a spring chicken anymore.
You have my sympathy. Who thinks about their elbow, until something like this happens?
I hit mine on a concrete floor, falling downstairs. No problems except the elbow. There was a fair-sized dent on the tip of the bone, where the chip came off, and mercy! Doctor said nothing should be done, it wasn’t bad enough to treat. Just terrifically painful. I can’t imagine how bad yours must have been. “Horrible” is exactly what it sounds like.
'Hillary Clinton fractures elbow in fall'(Coming soon.)Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton fractured her right elbow during a fall Wednesday, her chief of staff said.
However, due to President Obama's new Universal Healthcare Plan Mrs. Clinton was unable to be treated at The George Washington University Hospital, just a few blocks from State Department headquarters. She will undergo surgery in the coming months to Amputate her right arm just above her elbow, Mills said.
A faceless bureaucrat located in the Third Subbasement at the Dept of Health and Human Services issued a statement saying that under the new Healthcare Plan Amputation is the required medical procedure in this instance. It has been determined that it is more cost efficient as 'repairing a broken elbow for a woman her age is not worth the long term costs', the statement read.
Subsequent to the surgery, Mrs Clinton will enter the President's new jobs retraining program. She will be taught how to Sell Pencils on busy sidewalks and how to properly hold a Tin Cup. Under the the jobs retraining program, the Pencils and Tin Cup will be furnished Free Of Charge by the U.S. Government.
I wonder if she’ll settle for a wise Latina as her surgeon, someone who has a “great narrative.” Call me crazy, but I’d want the doctor with the best record and most experience, and I wouldn’t give a damn if he or she were white or black or Hispanic or Asian or if his or her ancestors subjugated or oppressed someone else’s ancestors. I guess I’m just one of those racist conservatives.
Any suggestions as to why this was pretty much a non-event to the drive-bys?
