Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joked about her broken elbow today, telling reporters, “I'm engaged in a different form of arms control, I think.”

Clinton fractured her right elbow when she fell at the State Department on June 17th. Her arm was in a sling today when she took questions during a brief news conference.

When a reporter asked if it’s still painful she answered, “It is. It is. Don't break your elbow. That's my last word of advice.”

“But you know,” she added, “every day gets a little bet better.”

I broke my elbow once – man was it painful! I agree with Hilary – don't break an elbow. Glad her arm is hurting less each day and that she can smile about it.

Mend quickly, Secretary Clinton, your country needs you! I hope you are not in too much pain.
