Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie left office yesterday (https://www.npr.org/2018/01/15/577650714/a-republican-star-fallen-chris-christie-leaves-office) with a truly dismal approval rating. On the bright side, he also left with two intact legs!

In 1999, then-governor Christine Todd Whitman "broke both bones in her lower right leg" while skiing in Switzerland (http://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/02/nyregion/broken-leg-mending-whitman-is-upbeat.html).

And in 2007, Jim Corzine broke his leg in a car crash. (He also broke his sternum, collarbone, and several ribs.) Read more...
