[Joanne98]

Okay, a quick update for you on the woman who was attacked and stepped on by Rand Paul supporters outside last night's Senate debate.

She has told MoveOn officials that she suffered a concussion and sprained shoulder and arm, a MoveOn spokesperson confirms.

The woman, Lauren Valle of MoveOn, had approached Paul and tried to give him an "employee of the month" award from a fake company called Republicorp, when Paul supporters dragged her to the ground and stepped on her head and shoulder.

Ilyse Hogue, a spokesperson for MoveOn, says she spoke with Valle this morning, and that Valle confirmed the injuries to her. She has been released from the hospital, Hogue said.

Have the assholes clean toilets in homeless shelters for a couple of months.

Sounds about right to me.

5. Rand's statement said he was "relieved to hear she wasn't injured".

Wonder who he heard that from. His lawyer? The assailants? The voices in his head?

Just curious.

6. Well, she wasn't bloodied or beaten unconscious, so she wasn't injured.

In HIS peabrain, at least.

7. I think this should go viral

This should be laid at the FEET of the Tea Party Movement. PEOPLE SHOULD SEE WHAT KIND of people, tea baggers are, and given the chance, most decent people will VOTE NO for a tea party candidate.
