Dole has surgery
Sen. Elizabeth Dole had surgery to replace a hip this morning, according to her spokeswoman, Katie Norman.
“She planned to have this surgery for some time but it was a matter of finding time in her schedule,” Norman said.
Norman said the Senator is expected to recuperate over the next few weeks and be back to her duties early next year.
Update: For those who have asked: Dole is 70. And it was her right hip.
