NOTE: for those who don't know, Gwen Ifill, who will be the debate mod for the Palin/Hairplugs debate on Thursday, has a book coming out at about Inauguration time in January about Obama. I'm sure she won't be at all biased. Right?

Gwen Ifill Breaks Ankle - The Show Will Go On

Our sister site TVNewser broke the story that Gwen Ifill, the moderator of the upcoming vice presidential debate this Thursday broke her ankle yesterday due to a misstep.

Now she can have something in common with the two candidates she's moderating...the missteps...ahem.

Word is she is still traveling to Missouri for the shindig. You go.

I’m surprised her knees aren’t injured after penning that love letter to Obama.

Did she break it kneeling down to the Messiah.
After all Gwen is writing a book on Bambi.
Why this Obama cultist has not been asked to step aside is the real question !!

If she’s injured, they should seek a replacement — someone totally unbiased, like, maybe Ann Coulter.

Maybe she has been hanging out with Randi Rhodes too much.

LOL. Supposedly the “break a leg” dates back to Shakespeare’s time — some popular actor was wished good luck by friends just before going on stage, and he actually broke his leg jumping around. Story goes that wishing him good luck actually caused him bad luck, so superstitious people began saying “break a leg” when they wanted the opposite for a favored actor...... don’t know if the legend has a factual basis or if it’s merely apocryphal.

NOTE: I am glad she was not seriously hurt and glad she was not mugged. Because the whackjobs had to project on our side what they might do, this had to be written. She has joked before about assassination.

MIDI - LONDON BRIDGE

Careful when you walk your dog...danger's lurking

Randi Rhodes is falling down, falling down, falling down
Randi Rhodes is falling down...now she's toothless

Lefties lie and blame the right, blame the right, blame the right
Lefties lie and blame the right...we're so ruthless

It's not surprising what they were surmising
This stuff is not new...karma just got you

Because McCain is a wimp.

Odd, coming from a man that endured torture chambers that is unimaginable.

That’s what being in the senate does to one though - it makes mice from men.

That’s mean. She has a broken ankle and you want her to “step down.” That would hurt. :)

Okay! question here! Who picks this person and who is sponsoring this debate? Shouldn’t there be a uprising over the injustice of the whole matter? They are setting Sarah Palin up !!!!!
