Kerry Hobbled. All that snowboarding and windsurfing must have caught up to Sen. John Kerry (Mass.): The 2004 Democratic presidential candidate was seen walking around on crutches Tuesday.

Asked about the Senator's condition, Kerry's spokesman, David Wade, joked, "You should see the other guy."

But seriously, folks: Wade said that Kerry, a former marathon runner, had arthroscopic surgery on his knee during the recess. He described it as an "outpatient procedure" to repair some cartilage damage. Wade said the Senator is using crutches to keep weight off his knee for a couple of weeks.

Kerry is "paying a very small price for years of soccer, hockey and running," Wade said.

so he 'cLaims'. it's reaLLy just a sympathy pLoy. :P

His knee gave out from trying to go in two directions at once.
