The McCains Are Old

From Jonathon Martin's Blog:

Cindy McCain went to a Michigan hospital this afternoon after an exuberant supporter shook her hand hard enough to cause a minor sprain.

With her husband at a mid-day fundraiser in West Bloomfield, McCain was greeting donors when one offered a handshake so vigorous as to exacerbate an "existing carpal tunnel condition for which she has had previous surgeries," according to Melissa Shuffield, her spokeswoman.

McCain left the fundraiser and visited a nearby hospital where she was x-rayed and given pain relief for what Shuffield called "a minor sprain."

She is to return to the campaign trail tomorrow.

I guess this isn't the biggest story of the season, but you kind of have to question the wisdom of the doctor who prescribed her "pain relief." It's not like she doesn't know where to get it herself, after all.
