Hillary's elevator mishap

By GottaLaff



Going down. Next floor: Lingerie, sundries, Democratic conventions...
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., was already not having the Democratic National Convention that she'd been hoping for, her and her husband's well-received speeches notwithstanding.

Then it got worse.

After Wednesday night's festivities ended, there was a minor elevator mishap at the Pepsi Center that involved Clinton, sources tell ABC News.

Apparently, the elevator got stuck between floors, stranding Sen. Clinton and others for several minutes. The doors needed to be pushed open and those in the elevator -- including Sen. Clinton -- needed to be lifted and squeezed out.

Clinton was seen leaving the scene looking a tad shell-shocked, but an aide says, "She's fine."

The visual speaks for itself. Further comment would be in bad taste and insensitive, especially after Hillary's very cool, very supportive speech of the other night.
