The actual Casper Star Tribune headline reads: Cubin injures foot at WMC. Apparently the CST doesn’t care that Representative Cubin actually broke her foot in three places. They seem quite content with minimizing the injury in attempt to make Mrs. Cubin look silly. It’s just their sleazy style.
U.S. Rep. Barbara Cubin broke her foot while visiting her husband at the Wyoming Medical Center on Saturday, and the Wyoming Republican ended up in a hospital bed herself.
“My husband and I certainly try to do everything together, but being hospitalized together was not too high on my to-do list,” Cubin said in a release.
Doctors have not decided whether to perform surgery on Cubin’s left foot, which was broken in three places when she fell.
Dr. Frederick “Fritz” Cubin has been in and out of the hospital over the last six months after being diagnosed with thrombocytopenia, which causes sufferers to have a deficient number of circulating blood platelets. He was most recently admitted to the Casper hospital Wednesday.
Let’s have a look at some sleazy comments on the story:

” Whoa Boy is this going to be cannon fodder for the Man from Laramie, Profit, Rance, Factoid, Rivertonite and all of the others. The article says Babs broke her foot in three places “when she fell” but did not elaborate on how she fell but I am sure all of our “Local Armchair Quarterbacks” will manage to by assumption fill in the details so all I can say is let the whining, crying and bad mouthing begin. Disclaimer: I am not and have never been a Cubin Staffer nor do I or have I ever lived in Wasington D.C. I am a Wyoming resident and have been register to vote Non-Partisan for the past 40 years. ”mark wrote on Sep 18, 2007 1:06 PM:

” Sounds like the gods are “agin” this charming couple! “
You see? Even people from beautiful Wyoming can be flat out jerks.
UPDATE: Some comments and speaks the truth. Very refreshing:

” It is very telling of the folks that have posted derogatory remarks about this matter. Making light of someone else’s injury is not merely sophomoric, but utterly lacking in dignity. This of course makes perfect sense coming from the party without any dignity or shame. “

Wow… I hope Rep. Cubin gets well soon. Those comments are disgusting. Seriously, how lame can you get?
I’m hoping for the best for Rep. Cubin.
As for everyone else - wow. Ya know, I had people mock me when I’ve been sick or injured, and it says so very little about their character and integrity. Then again, these are the people who think that abortions are sexy.
Tieki - I hope you are doing well! Cornell must be keeping you busy - but you’re sensible enough not to blog as a study break.
Maybe Michael Moore should make a sequel to his latest “documentary” about the Sickos that can’t even say something nice for our Representative when she’s the one in the hospital. At least the folks at DU have (so far) shown some restraint in this matter.
Here’s wishing Rep. Cubin and her husband the best in their recoveries.
