Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has been hospitalized following a horse-riding accident over the Christmas holidays in Africa that left him with seven broken ribs and fluid around his lungs, a spokesman said Monday.
Spokesman Brian Coy said doctors had expected the weeks-old injury to heal on its own, but after identifying increased fluid around the governor’s lungs, they admitted him around noon Monday for a procedure.
McAuliffe (D), who attended a Martin Luther King Jr. event in Norfolk on Monday morning and was interviewed by local media there, was admitted hours later to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond....

Broken ribs are painful. I feel for the guy. Now if he could just feel for the pain he causes retirees on limited income from capital gains. Among others.
Where’s the EPA....probably whipped him into a frenzy...
It this sort of like the press release stating Catherine the Great perished in a ‘riding accident’?
I’ve cracked several ribs and can’t imagine the pain of broken ones.
Plus fluid around the lungs makes it difficult to breathe.
Hope he recovers.
He could retire on the money he scammed from the stimulus package he received from his “green” car company just South of Memphis. The payout was in the tens of millions.
Wish the horse woulda done more damage. POS, this guy. And yes, I do wish him ill, right along with every other rotten stinking filthy ignorant worthless POS libturd.
So long as he does so in an entirely vegetative state where he can't muck things up on the political scene anymore than he's already done. Pi$$ on him.
Horses throw TM all the time. It’s called a bowel movement. That’s news?
Sorry to hear that the horse threw his ass out.
I’m sorry that anyone has accidents and gets hurt.
Did the public know of this horse injury when it happened? Sounds like it was weeks ago.
He was hand feeding the poor and building churches when his car broke down on his way to pick up lumber. A horse happened along. As he was galloping along on his way to the lumber yard he had this terrible mishap. As we speak, he prays not for himself, but for that lumber to be delivered to finish that church.
Ebola, where are ya?
Just need to refrain from looking at the horse’s mouth.
This is obviously a gift horse.
He seems to me a very bad man and one kept from evil only by cowardice and ineptitude.
Think of it as promoting equality. They wish ill of us so we are ‘entitled’ to return the sentiment. I used to hide such thought but then realizes I was O-pressing them and checked my privilege. ;)
“Oh my.
I hope the horse is okay”
Now that is funny!
Nope. There hasn't been a peep about it in the news.
Wish him well, but wish Virginian voters had done what the horse did.
Generally speaking, animals are fine judges of character.
