Exactly. I could see leaving it off the injured leg to "give it a break." But what sense does it make to put it on the uninjured leg? Why does the good leg need the brace? McCain's lost it and the people around him aren't too bright either.

Agree. I went back to The_Donald thread, and some other medical people have weighed in. To a person they say this is a bizarre explanation with no basis in fact. They also say an Achilles tendon tear would have taken longer to heal. Hmm.

If McCain were a Republican, the MSM would be on this story. As it stands, he’ll get a pass.
