just caught a moment of Fox business news a bit ago this am with Stuart Varney and I think it was Texas Congressman (R) Dr Michael Burgess on and he had a very large black eye (left). He said he fell and got hurt. Ok.....
I saw somewhere recently that maybe was a plausibly deniable way to ask in public for help (getting beaten up metaphorically-sending out an SOS)
