84-Year-Old Pelosi Breaks Hip After Nasty Fall Down the Stairs in Luxembourg
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Former Speaker of the House Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
 has suffered a significant injury that could have detrimental consequences after her nasty fall from the stairs earlier today.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Pelosi is in the hospital after falling downstairs while traveling in Luxembourg as a part of a bipartisan Congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

According to her spokesperson, Ian Krager, Pelosi is receiving treatment from medical professionals in the tiny European country. He claims she can still work but will be unable to attend the remaining engagements.

Here is his full statement:

''While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation.

''Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals. She continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation's history. Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War Il and their role in bringing peace to Europe.

''Speaker Emerita Pelosi was personally and officially honored to travel with the distinguished delegation, many of whom had family members who fought in World War II — including her uncle, Johnny. She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.''

The Daily Mail.com reported she fell down some stairs during the visit but that her injuries were not serious.

Unfortunately, we now know this report is false.

The New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 revealed this afternoon that the 84-year-old Pelosi suffered a fractured hip during her fall, which was the reason for her hospitalization. It does not take a genius to figure how potentially dire such an injury could prove to an elderly person like Pelosi.

#5 Maybe she'll be doing a fact-finding tour of Obamacare.

On a related note, AOC could barely contain her glee..."Baby Jane" Pelosi has a nice ring to it..."

#6 Key question in these incidents is did the break come before of after the fall? Was she hit by a hammer like her old man?

#7 She continues to work? Her and McConnell too. She won't take a hint from an injury this severe and retire? Won't the pain meds fog her brain? Or is she just taking Advil? Exactly who is she serving by continuing to limp along? Does she plan to keep working out of spite until she dies like Ginsberg?

#8 She continues to 'serve' because while she's in congress, she can make sure nobody investigates her. Let the money laundering continue!

#10 Speaker Emerita??? Seriously? Yes, she’s the former Speaker, but she lost that job a couple years ago, then she turned over the job of House Whip to Hakeem Jeffries. So she’s Congresswoman Pelosi. These are not royal titles.

#16 Please Deutscheland: Do hook her up to a wine box on adequate drip rate as should 1st World Medical Level of Care? And of course chart it for the record? Thanks.

#21 You know darn well we was protecting her flask over her hip. She must have hit the Class 6 equivalent in SHAPE or Chièvres AB.

Luxembourg, huh? Visiting Patton's grave? That's a small drive from Malmedy.
