What's up with Kentucky Senators? Both happen on the day of calls for reconvening the Senate....

...to act on gun control. Coincidence?

Mitch McConnell fractures shoulder after falling in Kentucky home

Washington (CNN)Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell fractured his shoulder Sunday after falling in his Kentucky home, his office said in a statement.

"This morning, Leader McConnell tripped at home on his outside patio and suffered a fractured shoulder," David Popp, McConnell's communications director, said in a statement. "He has been treated, released, and is working from home in Louisville."
McConnell's injury comes as Democrats demand he reconvenes the Senate to pass gun control legislation after a pair of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio this weekend left 29 people dead.

on the day he had to attend the inauguration of a black president.

Rule 39 in play here, I think.

(Gibbs rule 39: There are no coincidences.)
