WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Patty Murray said she broke her ankle earlier this week after tripping while running down the stairs, but said she planned to return to the Capitol next week for votes and hearings. (snip)
"Earlier this week, while running down the stairs in a rush, I tripped and ended up breaking my ankle—I wouldn’t recommend it. Next week, I’ll be back at the Capitol for votes and hearings and doing everything else I can to be a voice for Washington state in the Senate—I’ll just be swapping one of my tennis shoes for an ankle brace for a bit. Whether on foot, crutches, or wheels—I have no doubt I’ll still be one of the fastest Senators and I hope to be speed walking through the halls of Congress again very soon. I want to express my deep gratitude to the staff at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center for their excellent care and treatment,” Murray said.

Huge legend from Washington state.
A drunken fall?
Using Harry Reid’s exercise bike?
Falling While Fat
LOL
If this was Trump, they’d demand he resign.
Did you inspect the photo?
“Too bad she’s not a horse”
Hahaha!, “I don’t care who you are. That’s funny right there”
Larry the Cable Guy
That’s just mean! and funny
Patty Murray, the dumbest, ugliest, and now literally and figuratively the lamest Senator in DC.
Mom in tennis shoes......A HUGE LEGEND! s/
I like watching her get embarrassed at hearings.
Well, darn - it didn’t stop Pelosi...she still showed up. Can’t put “dem” women down, I guess. Or should that be “KEEP ‘em down?”
Won’t comment along the lines of ‘aw, just her ankle’. Nope, won’t go there.
She should be required to go through concussion protocol for at least 6 years.
Idiot Hack, and always has been. Hirono is another one
among many. We’ve got them, too. Too many jokers in the Congress. The difference between their jokers and ours is that theirs vote in lockstep; ours go rogue
Tripped over her morals
We’ve got them, too. Too many jokers in the Congress.
Garbage In, Garbage Out.
She may not be a horse but she does look related....
And yes I was on the same track about horses with broken legs.
LOL!
