Gwen Ifill Breaks Ankle, Still Plans to Moderate VP Debate

This is interesting. On the same day Gwen Ifill's new book about Obama gets massive attention on Drudge and other places and only two days before the VP debate she's moderating, TVNewser reports that she has fallen and broken her ankle:

First On TVNewser: PBS' Gwen Ifill has broken her ankle after tripping and falling down stairs at her home last night, a NewsHour insider tells TVNewser. We're told Ifill had been walking up a staircase, carrying research related to her moderating duties at Thursday's Vice Presidential debate in St. Louis, when she took a wrong step.

We are also told the show will go on: Ifill is planning to travel to Missouri for the big event.

Those Sarah Palin conspiracy printouts can get heavy.
