>I don’t believe this story for a second.<

What do you think was more likely?

He tried to shove his foot in his mouth again?
Someone finally had enough of his big mouth and smacked him?

Curious .. what do you think?

Why did he need local anesthesia? Isn’t he already numb from the neck up?

The elbow has fessed up, per USA Today: Ray Decerga, director of programs for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.

Statement from WH: During a 5 v.5 game he "turned to POTUS, who was playing defense, to take a shot when the elbow hit the President in the mouth."

That HAS to hurt. 12 stitches is a lot, no matter how fine the thread. I wish him a speedy recovery.

It’s been a while since I did my Boy Scout first aid training but I believe a wound like that requires a tourniquet around the neck.

Upon reflection, I might need a bodyguard. I will pick my own.

Apparently SS aren’t up to snuff.

When a jerk that has been on your nerves is guarding you, you just whip an elbow into his fugly face. It works every time, and you just play dumb, like you didn't mean it.

Take a look at Isaiah Thomas’s face, above his eye. A well timed elbow from Karl Malone.

I think everyone calls EBM - Epic Bearded Man, while Amber Lamps watched in silence while listening to her iPod.
