Foot and Ankle News

It’s been all over the blogs today, and now it’s made it to ours. You may have seen photos of Sarah Palin from an appearance she made at the Autism Speaks walk in Purchase, New York this past Sunday. What you may not have noticed were the ill-fitting high-heeled wedge style shoes she was wearing, or the paint-job she had on her big toes. Well, the Huffington Post certainly noticed this, and is currently holding a poll to see what it is that was painted on her nails. Photos show a blurry close-up of Palin’s feet, with some sort of design painted on. You can view the photos here, and cast your vote as to what you think the design is.

As a side note, there has been a vicious battle developing between Palin and late night talk show host David Letterman. On Letterman’s show this past Tuesday, he made some comments regarding Palin’s trip to New York, highlighting this in his nightly Top Ten list. Sarah Palin supporters were outraged at the jokes made, and Palin herself responded to the jokes by calling Letterman “pretty pathetic”.

In other news, recently nominated Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor broke her ankle while rushing through LaGuardia airport in New York. The incident took place on Monday. Sotomayor was on her way to Washington, D.C., and received medical attention for the small fracture in her right ankle upon landing.

Sotomayor was able to keep her six appointments in Washington with various senators. She apparently even stopped by the White House for an appointment before getting x-rays on her foot and ankle. She was treated by George Washington University Medical Faculty, who released her that day.

After receiving treatment, Sotomayor attended several meetings wearing a cast from her foot up to just below her knee, with a black boot on it as well. The meetings were part job-interview, as Sotomayor has not been confirmed as Chief Justice yet, and partly a preview of what is to come in the confirmation hearings coming up. The cast that Sotomayor was donning certainly changed the tone of the meetings.
