WASHINGTON, (AP) -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has broken her ankle and will skip next week's Democratic National Convention.

Feinstein, who was one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's top supporters, was to have chaired California's delegation to the convention in Denver.

Where were you sonny.

Not in California, thank God. Maybe you should look where your sense of humor went.....it might be here.

Supposedly one of the medieval Holy Roman Emperors said, Ego sum rex Romanorum et super grammaticam.--"I am king of the Romans and above grammar."

The question no one has yet asked is, "What is Karl Rove trying to accomplish by causing Sen. Feinstein to break an ankle?"

She could attend if only we had a national healthcare plan.

That may be the problem. Fortunately, we're about to turn that little problem over to The One.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Gee...She could have broken her neck!

[Lion Den Dan]

I have a prayer: May God help America and rid our country of those who seek to betray the trust of hard working people for self enrichment.

Amen, Amen.

[Never2baCrat]

Prayers for this worthless witch? I don’t think so.

Obviously she not used to walking in the wilderness!

Suuuuuurrrrrrrrreeeee!

She is going to skip with a broken ankle?

I badly broke my left ankle a couple years ago. With a cast up to my knee I drove myself from the Chicago area to my central Florida home a week later. The trip is 1400 miles and included stops at restaurants, motels and gas stations. It wasn't all that bad at all.

And......I didn't have aides, a chauffeur or a secretary to smooth my way.....or if I was headed for a large conventions I never would have had shepherds, go-fers, yes-men, wheeled conveyances, etc. like Di-Fi would enjoy at the convention.

I don't think a plastered-up leg (there's little to no pain once the cast is on) such as she's probably sporting right now could even compare with the thousands of paraplegics, quadriplegics, amputees, disabled vets, etc. who attend humungeous conventions over the decades. She wouldn't have to even be on her feet at all given the influence she commands, nor would she have to stay longer than one day-night.

The truth of the matter is that this woman does NOT WANT to attend the Obama coronation!

(.....can't say that I blame her, heheh).

Sen. Feinstein breaks ankle, will skip convention

I would have to advise against skipping with a broken ankle. Especially at her age.

[Christian4Bush]

why can’t Queen Nancy take her on the Calif delegation jet paid for by the taxpayers ?

Pressurization and depressurization on the plane would be a Pelosi...there are ways that athletes deal with it, but probably a bit different for most folks. She could be driven there, no problem, unless there would be an issue with the mile high altitude.

Posts like #72 are what gives sites like DU, KOS and HuffPo a claim on moral relevance. It’s not funny or right.

[griswold3]

OMG! Thankfully it wasn’t her hip!
Get well, DiFi!

[ovrtaxt]

Hmm, maybe the headline writer shouldn’t have used “breaks ankle” and “skip” in the same sentence.

[trisham]

According to the article, she's 75. Perhaps she might take this as an opportunity to retire.

Maybe she dropped the “straw purchase” firearm on her foot that she bought for her nephew.

How about: Maybe she dropped on her foot the “straw purchase” firearm that she bought for her nephew.
