OMG!! Casualty at the Rayburn Bldg.

MSNBC just showed a policewoman on a gurney.

She appears to have stepped off a curb and sprained her ankle.

True story.

God, we must look like a nation of chickenshits.

Tomorrow Solidad O'Brien will show the many ways an ankle can be sprained.

... Dr. Sanjay Gupta weighing in on the medical implications, complete with graphs, charts and a plaster ankle to demonstrate the affected area.

Anderson Cooper will host a special: "Sprained Ankles - The Hidden Disabler", and CNN Headline's 'Hollywood' edition will discuss celebrities who have sprained their ankles over the years, complete with photos of stars on crutches.

Yup, they're not going to let a BIG STORY like this one get away!

with celebrities who have had sprained ankles in the past: Elton John, Ashton Kutcher, Billie Jean King, and Whoopie Goldberg. Complete with "footage" (snicker)

And we both forgot Wolf Blitzer discussing the political implications (lots of footage of Scooter Libby on crutches during his indictment).

between James Carville and Bay Buchanan on the pros and cons of injuries to the right ankle versus the left ankle.

Keystone cops.

and I can't get up!!! Good Lord.

ALERT ALERT!! MAN THE BATTLESHIPS!! CODE RED!! TERRORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

:nuke:

There are no suspects, no injuries, no story... This is so overblown and to me is not worthy of the coverage it is getting....

If none are coming their way, they invent them.

Such as Hayden's confirmation.

covered news, oh Bernie Shaw, you are misses.

even though I blame him for Dukakis losing the election "If Kitty Dukakis were raped and murdered...." (opening question of the 1988 preidential debate)

push her off of it?

Saddam was stockpiling curbs!!!1

They're all over Baghdad and Tikrit and north, south, east, and west somewhat.

I haven't slept a full night in almost 6 years...

.....possibly break her ankle?? Has to be something more than just a sprain???

on edit: I'd be curious to see what this diversion is going to be covering up.

Can you imagine the fun Wolf Blitser has when he gets hold of this??? :rofl:

I saw her laughing and drinking from a water bottle.

an overzealous aspiring hero capital cop right now. If this noise was heard in the garage area, what are the chances that some car backfired?

<sarsasm off>

... Could I step off a curb one day and sprain my ankle too? Let me go turn on CNN and get the "real" scoop...

to be rational and sane.

as the reason for the woman on the gurney.

I'm watching this crap on MSNBC. Seems to me the woman on the gurney is the ONLY one who's being truthful about what's going on.

Oh ... and by the way ...... *boo*

...due to a panic attack.

Now they are showing the House.

"Just close the door as far as you can".

Nookular combat, toe-to-toe with the Rooskies.

and sprained his little pinkie finger!

...rick was on a dog!!!

Pig never has watched where he's going!

Hoekstra in the House (MSNBC).

Just heard it on local radio news.

You remember he got "face time" often during the Clinton era, attacking Clinton. His only expression used to be a psychotic sneer in those days.



What a complete asshole.

For real?????


Probably thought the husband of one of his paramours was looking to shoot him.

What a pack of useless dweebs!!

:rofl:

:rofl:

(Fortunately, a DU'er in LBN cleared it up.)

Georgia Congressman's Staffer Hospitalized After Gunfire Reports

POSTED: 1:41 pm EDT May 26, 2006
UPDATED: 1:59 pm EDT May 26, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Guns drawn, police briefly sealed off the Capitol Friday and launched a floor-by-floor search of the largest office structure on Capitol Hill after an unidentified caller reported gunfire. Amid chaos and confusion, police said there were no arrests or confirmation of the gunfire.

A staffer for Rep. Jack Kingston (R Ga.) was taken from the Rayburn House Office Building on a stretcher. She was transported to a hospital by ambulance.

Police say she may have suffered from a "panic attack".

"The report is that shots were fired" at 10:30 a.m. EDT in the garage of the Rayburn House Office Building, said Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider.

I can't help but wish they HAD hauled Jack Kingston away. It would be a very positive step. Georgians should be ashamed to elect garbage like that.

I liked your version better.

:hi:

I cannot wait for Olberman.

:shrug:

Laughing stocks we!

this looks utterly ridiculous to the outside world.

I can only imagine what Iraqis will think of it if the story makes their evening news tonight.

If so, it's most likely to be in the form of one of those end-of-the-news, raise-a-weary-smile kind of stories:

"And a funny scene today in the US capital Washington as loads of people, mainly news crews and special ops sharp shooters, ran around looking silly and getting very exceited about very little. God bless America."
