MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont has broken a hip in a fall at his home and was to undergo surgery to repair it, his office said Thursday.
The 82-year-old Democrat fell Wednesday night in McLean, Virginia, the statement said. Doctors determined the best course of action would be to have surgery to repair the hip as soon as possible.

“Leahy was “expected to make a full recovery and begin a healthy course of physical therapy immediately.”
No such thing as full recovery and just because his physical therapy begins immediately does mean he’ll be able to return to DC that soon. Hopefully, he recovers (not before mids) and retires. Senate actually favors republicans now.
He already announced his retirement before his accident.
Hope they knick an artery during surgery.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer Ahole.
Next week's forecast, room temperature.
Leaky Leahy is still around ?
A broken pelvis is what finally did in my Father.
Voting in the Senate must be in person....unlike the house. With any luck, well...don’t want to wish anyone to be bedridden for a long, long time...
I broke my hip two years ago at 67. Leahy is done for at 82. Lot’s of rehab.
Deep State’s Frankenstein factory ensures its creatures can take a licking and keep on ticking.
Almost 48 years in the Senate. Term limits are WAY overdue.
Bernie Sanders is the other US Senator from Vermont. Another superannuated, doctrinaire, and overly opinionated blowhard, with no accomplishments other than getting elected to office repeatedly in a small state. But he does make Patrick Leahy look like a “moderate”.
If being a Nazi is more moderate than being a Communist. After all, Communists consider Nazis to be “right-wing”, but both are command-and-control regimes. And both make promises they have no intention of keeping, if it were even possible.
From 2021...

He was hospitalized for “muscle spasms”.
Okaaaay....
Now I’m really wondering what caused his fall.
Leahy was born blind in one eye.
I still think he is an a$$ though.
This means Ds are now in the minority, as its very unlikely he’ll be able to cast another vote. Certainly not before mid-terms.
The senate has not yet allowed proxy voting and couldn’t adopt it now.
Big news, unless one of ours goes down.
“Hope it goes downhill fast. Effin POS.”
Quickly into pneumonia perhaps?😎
Broken hips are sometimes the beginning of the end. At that age you can come back but it’s hard.
Fauci seriously I’ll with COVID, and now Patrick Leahy to undergo significant orthopedic surgery? (Not.... Saying it...)
...
Leahy is the longest-serving sitting senator.
Another argument for term limits. Leaky Leahy....
