Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) took a massive spill on an Alaskan ski slope Sunday, possibly tearing her ACL, and landing her in a wheelchair.

The ski patrol at the Alyeska Ski Resort south of Anchorage says the Alaska Republican tumbled as much as 300 feet.


A spokesman said Tuesday that Murkowski believes she tore two ligaments in her left knee during the fall Sunday.


Spokesman Mike Brumas says Murkowski also is "bruised and a little battered" and will have to use a wheelchair for several days.


And in case you were wondering, we're definitely not going to make the obvious poll numbers joke here.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
