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.

That one’s pretty tame.

You don’t have to imagine how the leftist sites treat any conservative that is injured or ill.

We are, of course, more classy than leftists, by definition. You have to have a 12 yr old maturity level to remain a leftist.

It's a shame that there isn't some way for her to get around on a broken ankle and attend to show her support for The One. I hope someone will invent a solution to this dilema, since we all know how much she wants to be there to associate her name with this historic moment.

[JennysCool]

I believe I could get around with a broken ankle if I really wanted to.

My thought as well. If she thought this convention was going to be a pleasant experience, she'd probably rally.

[Tanniker Smith]

Ouch.

Feel better.

[MrB]

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

[Pistolshot]

Not looking to be ‘classy’. If that is your objective in life, you please no one. I was making an objective observation.

Ouch. My wife went down with a dislocation/sprain on July 4th. She’s still in physical therapy now and hasn’t been able to drive since then. I can understand how painful it can be.

Was her nephew short a foot?

[Red_Devil 232]

Just wondering, what are the consequences of flying with a broken ankle?

[RPTMS]

ROTFLMAO!

[Blueflag]

hmmmm. The gravely ill fly SAFELY on chartered jets. I am CERTAIN DiFi knows about chartered jets.

She doesn’t want to be there and be a part of it.

That simple.

[chaos_5]

I just don't see how she can continue to serve with such a debilitating injury. She should resign immediately!

[ridesthemiles]

I believe I could get around with a broken ankle if I really wanted to.”

Will there even be a Kalifornia delegation at the convention since they are still wrangling over a budget???

I cannot imagine Diane couldn’t get around with a broken ankle, either.
Any word on how she did it??

[NonValueAdded]

Wow, a move worthy of a Clintonista! I love it when crime families go to war.

[MrB]

I tried wording that a half dozen ways and none of them made any sense. Dammit Jim, I’m an engineer, not a English teacher!

[edcoil]

I would guess a wheel chair, less required to get around.

[tommix2]

It is called “breaking a leg”

[wireman]

Maybe she broke it jumping off the Obama bandwagon.

[Palladin]

Ouch! Very painful.

She’s lucky to get out of this convention.

It’s going to be chaos.

[redstates4ever]

The Dem convention is going to be such a nightmare, I’m surprised DiFi didn’t fake her own death.
