Oh, to have provided the elbow!

Staged

Was supposed to be this:

[Brilliant]

Assassination attempt?

[MAKOTHEDOG]

It wouldn’t make any difference if indeed that was the case

[MayflowerMadam]

“I don’t believe this story for a second.”

I’m with you on that. TWELVE stitches for a lip cut? Uh uh. I’m thinking domestic abuse where the man of the house pummeled the lady of the house. Or maybe he has a little herpes cold sore thing happening as a result of a prior Larry Sinclair rendezvous.

[hattend]

What a puss.

[jellybean]

Anyone see any sweat on that shirt?? Like hell is was playing...

I don't notice any blood on the shirt either.

Either he just happened to have an extra shirt with him or this story is bogus.

[Brilliant]

Maybe it was just an excuse so he could take a joy ride in the ambulance.

[Tennessee Nana]

Someone smack Barry in his mouth ???

Thats OK

as long as his teleprompter wasnt hurt...

[MAKOTHEDOG]

More likely he got the stitches from kissing to much ass.

[mmanager]

Now his lips will match his ears!

[presently no screen name]

Knock out any teeth?

[hattend]

Reagan got SHOT and I don’t think he made this big of a deal about it.

Advisor: “It’s a cut lip, sir, put down the ice pack, get away from the window and go watch some TV. Here’s some ice cream!”

[Eyes Unclouded]

I’m glad he isn’t hurt that bad. Maybe now he can try to govern more instead of playing games all the damn time?

[Qbert]

“Does he EVER work?”

Well, it’s not like there’s a major crisis going on between the two Koreas, or anything...

[Cheerio]

I used to work for a guy like the Kenyan. Over 40 years and still running around playing sports like he was 18.

[hattend]

Maybe now he can try to govern more...

Do we really want more of his type of "governance"?

[Hoodat]

Does he EVER work?

I do know that he met with his National Security Advisors for a full 20 minutes in response to North Korea's shelling of South Korean territory. But other than those rare instances here and there, the anser is 'no', he avoids work as he does with going to church.
