I Like ItI Don’t Like It

When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton broke her elbow outside the White House on June 18th, her injury put her in good company: Supreme Court Justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor recently fractured her ankle and has been hobbling around in a cast, incoming NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen messed up his shoulder, and Senator Lisa Murkowski did something to her knee.

But these boo-boos won't keep these leaders down. They stumble, but then limp back into the public eye. Take a look at the crutches, casts, and slings -- and the politicos who have bravely persevered despite them.

As much as I love Obama - I would vote for Hillary in a second if she decided to run again. This is a great woman who has endured so much and still ended up on her feet.

Hillary,

Please take good care of yourself, so you can make another run for it in 2012.

Interesting photos, and my conclusion from this on purely an analytical viewpoint is these people were connected to a suppressive person in their lives a day before or shortly near the time they were injured.

Female politicians and diplomats could start to protect themselves from needless injuries by wearing only good, practical shoes. These people have hard jobs to do, and breaking bones does not make their jobs easier.

Don't recall ever seeing Hillary Clinton in a pair of beautiful stilettos.

Do recall old-woman-­save-the-f­eet pumps sticking out from under those pantsuits.

Elbows are the bumpers of our body -- can't imagine have to shield one from hitting anything.

I've never broken a bone in my life, and while any break seems painful, the thought of breaking an elbow sounds particularly painful.

They all work for me and I pay their health care insurance. I have no health care because I am unemployed because of them. This logic forces me to ask "why should I continue to employ them until I get a job and health care again" ? The answer of course is "that's the system". I am ready to change the system - pikes and pitchforks need to appear on the steps of the capital to throw these bums out. No more millionaire congressional Representatives or Senatore for a start.

Well, if you're not working then you're not paying for their health care. And, how did your congressional reps and/senators cause you to lose your job?

Sotomayor has her crutches WAY too low. She's really hurting herself if she hasn't raised them up, even with a 'walking' cast...

The Sotomayor/Murkowski photo is cute.

Hillary is a real trooper.
