NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- Gov. James E. McGreevey underwent surgery after breaking his leg Friday night while walking the beach with his wife, a spokesman said.

The governor was resting comfortably Saturday at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and was expected to recover completely, McGreevey spokesman Paul Aronsohn said.

So when his supporters told him to get out there and 'break-a-leg' he took them seriously.....

''She took a hard, twisting fall and broke both the bones in one leg," spokesman Peter McDonough said.

Clearly some sort of conspiracy related to the WEF. Whitman goes there and breaks a leg. They come here and McGreevey breaks a leg.

Can we be sure his bookie didn't break it? Greaseball probably layed it all on Pittsburg.

[crazykatz]

Did they say, that a Horse's @$$ broke his leg??? Oh, never mind.

We do hate to put anybody "DOWN"!!

Well, it is Jersey. Maybe he was falling behind on his gambling debts.

[Lessismore]

No. OTOH, it might have been the state workers' union sending him a message.

One Democrat governor and one Republican governor BOTH break a leg ;eerily reminds me of Kennedy/Bone fatally smacking trees.

At least you can recover from a broken leg.

Sorry to hear the Guv busted his leg ! He's got a whole pile of doo doo to deal with-thanks to Legislators-from both parties - who decided every day should be Christmas, as long as the Taxpayers get the bill.

The couple was strolling along the beach before dinner Friday when McGreevey stepped off a four-foot ledge in the sand, breaking his left femur, Aronsohn said.

The boy must have some pretty skinny legs to break a femur from a four foot drop into sand.

And wait until the environmentalists find out that he was walking on the dunes!

My favorite part of the Whitman story was when the medics put her in an ambulance to get her to the hospital they didn't have her in all the way and slammed the door into her feet! That's got to hurt!

ouch, how does a beach get to be such a mess? =o)

Gee great. John Wayne Gacy's arrived to clean up Ted Bundy's mess.

I can sympathize.The responder carrying me had a protruding gut which was pushing against my just-broken foot at every step;it was almost as painful as the twenty-foot fall which caused the breaks.(NEVER trust ALUMINUM ladders,especially secondhand ones.)
