:wtf:

:nopity:

lurking behing the flesh of her body.

Thanks again for your inexhaustable library of horrifying and hilarious ChimpCo images! Your commentary is priceless.

:applause:

I just saw her on CNN wearing her red & white, Heidi dress..the black sling looks like a Bavarian girdle/vest....cute!
Meanwhile I just saw an Acura commercial on CNN ( Honda) there is a group singing/ whispering, subliminaly in the back ground "John McCain John McCain, John McCain................"
( The fix is in!)
Meanwhile all our "grownups" Condi, Bill Cohen, are standing up there with a straight face scolding Russia, for invading a "sovreign democracy"
UN-believable!
Cohen actually said PPutin & Bush were at the Olymics together & he didn't understand why they couldn't work it out.........
Well it MAY BE because Bush was so falling down drunk, it took 3 secret service men to catch him before he fell down the stadium steps.
Check it out on http://wonkette.com/page/3
These folks aren't playing round, Bill Gwathney Dem Party Head in Ark, has died from his gunshot wounds....another asassination!@

:P










ok, on a serious note...
get well soon Cindy.

Really?

Ok.

Best of luck to her.

I guess

When I had my heart attack, I had pain in both wrists. I kid you not.

If there's any chance of a serious problem -- stroke, heart attack, whatever -- it's best that the patient get the hell to a hospital and worry about whether she's/he's overreacting later. Not taking the rights steps can land you in the crematorium and not the hospital.

But just one hand?

A grateful one.

Can cause strain....the tighter you roll them.

When my hand hurts...i suck it up

When my chest hurts...i suck it up

When my head hurts...i suck it up

WHY? Because i am tough? No. Because i don't have adequate health coverage. Cindy McCain can go to the hospital for a hand cramp while the rest of America has to suck it up.

of a heart attack.

edit - should have been reply to the one above about rich etc.

last year. Even with insurance the best I got was a walk in clinic, loads of pain meds and muscle relaxants. I had to keep working too because I have no disability insurance. But the wealthy live in a whole different world, don't they?

maybe she's looking for some serious narcotic pain medications.

and coverage

a small stroke in the past...If so she for sure wants to get it checked out.

most people in the US avoid going to the hospital unless their hand is severed or amputated. :shrug:

does something other than sign checks

but I'm not going to do that.

She looks like she is in constant mental pain from having to campaign with the old coot. Plus, I do have to agree that it must pain her to have to mix with the commoners / fools who support the Republic Party.

That is total bullshit - there must be more to this story. Whatever it ends up being, I hope she is well.

She "was taken to the hospital" because her hand hurt. According to CNN, she was shaking hands, it aggravated carpal tunnel and/or she has a sprain.

Now, for all of those people who have cancer and can't afford to treat it, who die of heart attacks that could have been prevented had they had access to regular health care, who stitch themselves up when they're cut because they can't afford to go to the ER.........

you know, the kind you need some really, really good drugs for?

and broke a bone or two.

Best wishes from the gang at DU, if any of your loved ones are reading this.

By the way, the AP has it as a "sprain" from an overenthusiastic hand-shaker.

How's about "I disagree," or "you are incorrect to wish her well," or something that makes some semblance of sense?

“Out of an abundance of caution, she decided to leave the event and visit the local hospital for x-rays where she was treated for a minor sprain."

It must be nice to be rich.

Didn't go to the doctors, though.

I'm cool like that. ;)

Some reporter should ask her if she received any drugs at the hospital.

like she needed to get out of the crowd asap - assuming there was a crowd?!

:eyes:

Seems we know the type. :rofl:

She'll be like a kid in a candy store.

And all three before she sits down in the waiting room!

Wait!!! Be sure to get her insurance card, picture I.D., and co-pay!!!

And all three before she sits down in the waiting room!

That's a good one, KansDem, a really great zinger.
Sad, but true.

that's how it works in this city!

I swear to God I think she's a vampire.

Bake

since McLame and LIEberman are in my county today.

Yeah, right, just what I want to waste my time doing.

:nopity:

She broke her wrist in 2000 shaking hands. This is from 2004.

Cindy McCain recently turned 50. Over the years, she shook many hands accompanying her husband along his political journey and in his unsuccessful run for the White House four years ago.

She has the X-rays to prove it.

"I broke my wrist shaking hands. I just thought it was sore, but I had stress fractures up my arm. It was broken, pinned and now it has fused," she said. "So I guess there is a down side to campaigning."

----

After suffering a minor stroke in April, McCain is vowing to take a break over the summer to focus on her health.

Doctors said the stroke was the result of high blood pressure. McCain had stopped taking her blood pressure medication because she was feeling well.

As if she's done a day of work in her life?

Didn't want to miss the opportunity? News coverage to boot.

Here's my differential diagnosis:

1) Yes, possible Vicoden run as someone already said

2) Yes, possible MI or stroke (CVA) as also said already

3) Yes, possible sprain/fracture or carpal tunnel, although no known risks for latter (i.e. repetitive motion injury typically from manual labor)


BUT the CORRECT diagnosis:

4) If it's her left hand it is DEFINITELY psychosomatic - caused by reaction to looking at the wedding ring from JM on her left hand....

5) If it's her right hand, it is DEFINITELY psychosomatic - caused by memories of hand-jobs for JM...

Yes, this is only a sick joke. (Get it, sick joke?) But that doesn't mean it CAN'T be correct now does it.

Gidget sells. That is scary to think Gidget and Sister Batrill (Sally Fields) needing Boniva. :scared:

I know--shame on me. Couldn't resist. What I'm really disturbed about today (well, there's the Russia/Georgia thing and the Olympics I'm boycotting 'cause they're in China and the fix is in on the election...) but most of all I'm saddened because Gwatney was shot to death in his office today. My condolences to his family.

Stay strong, everyone!

Tired Old Cynic

must have taken more pressure than she thought it would. ;)

Yes the shooting in Arkansas is sad. But we do go on with our lives since we have to. And to go on living, we often have to make jokes and even use our sick nasty humor when it fits the occasion.

at 5 started with "Breaking News - McCain's wife hurt her wrist". WTF? I'm old enough to remember when breaking news was saved for important events like Kennedy's assassination, etc. Then they trotter the vampiress out to the microphone and she's about as articulate as Laura. Egads. These women set us feminists back decades.

Oh, I'm in Michigan that's why I saw this.

on all the web sites. Next thing you know mccain will stump his toe and we will really have 'breaking' news. ;)

US Media = fascists.
