traction and all, depending where the break is.

What the doofi never realize is that the plane was likely being flown back with plenty of room, cargo going one way only, to the Middle East.

Right wingers, as usual, are beneath contempt.

ETA: Today's story said surgical repair will be at Mass. General. Oh, yeah, he was in a bed in traction and there's no way they could have transported him on much less.

It was likely a bumpy ride, so nobody should envy him.
