Sotomayor Breaks Her Ankle.

[elleng]

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was taken to George Washington University Medical Center in the District this morning for X-rays of her right ankle after stumbling at the La Guardia airport in New York, White House officials said.

The X-ray revealed a small fracture in her ankle. She was released from the hospital after less than two hours and is now using crutches, said Ben LaBolt, an assistant press secretary at the White House.

1. She flew with the broken ankle.

It's not easy to get around an airport if you're not 100%.

8. Okay, another notch in her favor: she can play 'hurt'. nt

2. I hope her doctor wasn't empathetic towards her

the RWers would frown on that.

3. Broke her right ankle clearly showing bias toward the left.

I broke my ankle in mid-February and I'm still in an aircast. Ankles are weird.
