By Daniel Barbarisi Some say that politics is a dangerous business -- Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline is sporting the cast to prove it. Cicilline was attending a political fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee on a boat in Sag Harbor, N.Y., on Saturday, hobnobbing with party bigwigs, including Chairman Howard Dean. On his way off the boat, Cicilline was coming down a steep ramp when he stumbled and tore a ligament in his right ankle, according to his spokeswoman, Karen Southern. Cicilline's right foot and lower leg are encased in a walking cast, and it's not clear how long he'll have to wear it. He hasn't used crutches, despite the injury, and Southern said she's surprised by how quickly he's been getting around. "You know, it's amazing, his injury hasn't slowed him down one bit," she said.

Sure wish Howard Dean would talk some sense into Cicilline about shortstaffing the fire department.
Also, Democrats have a long history of working well with Unions. Cicilline does not.
