Okay... why did Palin put her fist through a window?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

She has a bandaged hand. They say she fell while jogging...

I figure she punched out a window or hit Todd in the mouth.

(Or maybe they were burning her hand with a cigar when she got debate-prep questions wrong.)

[central scrutinizer]

1. probably just a prop

I bet she did nothing -

[DesertFlower]

4. i agree. nt

[Tanuki]

14. so they can blame her incoherent, addled rambling

on the pain medication

[Blaze Diem]

2. pity

.

[maseman]

3. McCain likes to smack

his bitches around apparently.

[mikelgb]

5. it's where they'll hide the battery for the earpiece

[ellacott]

6. Enhanced debate prep

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

16. Very nice!

[texas1928]

7. it was from McCain, splinters.

[maxsolomon]

8. broken ankle, bandaged hand

watch out, joe biden. it comes in 3's!

[dascientist]

52. crouching tiger, hidden dragon

[Ioo]

9. Her and McShame was playing POW... the safety word is Banana

[petepillow]

27. nice!

at last, I laugh out loud!

[Lochloosa]

51. ...

:spray:

[TornadoTN]

10. I'd bet a substantial sum that it's a prop

Makes people focus on her hand rather than her words. Slight sympathy factor.

[global1]

15. I Agree - They Can Say She Was Distracted By The Pain And That.....

is why she didn't do well in the debate.

So how many potential excuses does that give her now?

[TheBigotBasher]

23. I doubt it is a prop

I am guessing some kind of device.

[TornadoTN]

33. To be fair, it is a rather small bandage

It's like a band-aid type bandage - not a giant cast or something along those lines.

[rzemanfl]

11. We have had enough "jogging accidents" the last eight years

to last the rest of the century.

[soleft]

12. Why can't the GOP stay upright?

:shrug:

[Lerkfish]

13. snakes have no arms or legs?

:)

[jakem]

17. Cindy McCain school of pity?

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Sock Puppet that she will use as a stage prop

FELL JOGGING! OK, and hurt her hand? I'm trying to think how that
part of the anatomy would be injured more than a knee when you fell

[WinkyDink]

50. By bracing oneself. My friend just broke her wrist that way. :)

[1corona4u]

19. Pix please.....just got back, and not sure what you are talking about...

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

22. They said on MSNBC she has a bandaged hand. (I haven't seen it)

[Kadie]

28. Here is one

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

34. That's a standrd 'seig heil' sprain

[1corona4u]

40. She looks ....puffy in that pic....like water retention...

maybe she's hung over, and perhaps she fell on her drunk ass last night.

[Billy Burnett]

42. That's her double.

:tinfoilhat:

[JackBeck]

20. It's either another handshake "accident " or

where she plans to keep her "cheat sheet".

[iceman66]

43. That's what I'm thinking.

A place to hide a cheat sheet.

[ronnykmarshall]

21. Ya know Gwen ...

I have a boo-boo like you have. Could you repeat that question again, I'm in a bit of pain doncha know.

[Ganja Ninja]

25. That might work better if they put the bandage around her head.

That would at least give her a plausible excuse.

[TexasObserver]

24. hides the battery pack for her ear piece, which is behind her ear

It's very tiny, and undetectable. The battery and transmitter will be in the bandaged hand, which is also a nice sympathy prop. I can hardly wait to hear the reason. It will be some contrived story designed to evoke "awwwww" by those who think with their emotions.

[blogslut]

26. This thread is useless without pics

Gimme

[Kadie]

30. a couple of pics here...

[blogslut]

37. Thanks

The runner stumbles, tries to catch herself and injures her hand in the process.

Perhaps this will be symbolic as per her performance tonight.

[Forrest Greene]

54. Gawd, What A

...sleazewad that husband looks like!

[IDemo]

29. Putin's got a shiner today, I bet

[Blue Diadem]

31. That gives her a place to tuck her crib sheet.

:shrug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. She got scared when she saw Russia from her house.

[kestrel91316]

35. Nothing wrong with her hand. This is a prop. Her numbers have been

tanking and so they did this to help her gain sympathy. Poor, brave Sarah. Went to the debate in spite of a painful injury.

[seabeyond]

36. oh my gosh, she even gets injured like bushie boy.... geeez. n/t

[rvablue]

38. I think it's a ploy to get them seated at the debate. n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

39. Bar fight in philly.

She tried to break a bottle across the bar like they do in the movies and fucked it up.

[truthisfreedom]

41. They got the idea from the moderator breaking her ankle.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

44. it's where they are going to hide the ear wire thing...wire up the sleeve

[youthere]

45. She fell while jogging? Does this remind anyone of a certain commander in chief..

that can't stay upright on his bicycle?

[lolamio]

46. I've logged hundreds of miles so far this year running, and the only time I fell was on ice..

in Upstate NY in January. What'd she do? Trip over her brains?

[secondwind]

47. watch the video of her coming off the plane......no bandage in sight.

[goodgd_yall]

48. Another casualty of McCain's temper n/t

[SurfingAtWork]

49. I think its a prop. They want to try to elicit sympathy from the viewership.

I mean its bad enough to beat up on a girl.. but to beat up on a poor hurt girl.

[Dumak]

56. Someone on tv mentioned

that she has a nervous habit of putting her hands together with her finger tips touching, and that it looked odd. So maybe with the bandage on it will allow her to mess with her hands (as a mental distraction), without it seeming so unusual - she'll have a reason.

[DeschutesRiver]

53. I thought that maybe they'd cancel the debate, by making up some

injury during her stay, like she fell off a hill while hiking.

But this looks like a pretty small thing - I'd say more the result of a family fracus at the ranch.

[undeterred]

55. If I were her

I would be looking for a way out of this too.

[symbolman]

57. Wrong placement

the bandage should be on her MOUTH, permanently.. :)

She was smacking the podium in terror while they were filling her head with more nonsense than she can hold..
