Sen. Diane Feinstein won't be able to attend next week's Democratic Convention in Denver. According to The Sacramento Bee's Capitol Alert, her doctor has ordered her not to travel after breaking her ankle in Lake Tahoe over the weekend.
"My doctor has advised me not to travel in the short-term, and so, regretfully, I am unable to attend what will surely be an historic convention in Denver," said California's senior senator, who is 75.
What a bummer.
