By: Maggie Haberman May 20, 2011 03:44 PM EDT
An accident at the gym left Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels with 16 stitches on his forehead on Friday, his office announced.
Daniels, who is weighing a run for the White House, was standing near a door at the National Institute for Fitness and Sport in Indianapolis, and "the door suddenly swung open and struck the governor in the forehead," his office said in a statement. "He was treated and released and is recovering at home."

Oh crap.
Shades of Gerald Ford.
It could happen to anyone, but let me be the first to say “doofus”
That is unfortunate. prayers that he is ok but the media is going to have a field day on this.....Saturday NIght Live might even have a skit on it by tomorrow night. It is horrible when something like this happens in regular times but when running for President? Yieks!
That is embarrassing. Just standing there he gets hit in the head with a doorknob. I guess he didn’t have his elevator shoes on. It would have hit him in the chest then and cause less damage.
So....the door swung open all of a sudden by itself eh.
What in the “H” was the guy standing next to the door that could all of a sudden open, and hit him in the noggin for anyway. Not very bright.
and this guy wants us to vote him through the door into the oval office!?
Of course that means the person on the other side of the door better watch out. Cops don’t need a real reason to kick in your door any longer.
Oh crap.
Shades of Gerald Ford.
Funny....
“giggle.”
Who did you say it was brother?
Who was it fell by the way?
When whiskey and blood run together
Did you hear anyone pray?
CHORUS
I didn’t hear nobody pray, dear brother
I didn’t hear nobody pray
I heard the crash on the highway
But, I didn’t hear nobody pray.
That's exactly what I thought.
How do you get that close to a door intending to use it, without having your arm up and extended?
He just walked up and took it in the face?
Hit his head on the door knob...
Ouch! Hope he heals well. I am sure for all Presidential candidates, it’s “Not the face!” Poor guy.
Maybe his wife did it.
What happened to Gerry?
He hasn’t announced that he is running.
Why cant this crap happen to Odumbo?
He is constantly mistaking windows and walls for doors.
Really poor situational awareness.
lol! good one.
The Wee One must have got it in the head from the doorknob...
Bodyguards wrestled the door to the ground..
