WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin has cracked a rib of U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill while performing the Heimlich maneuver on the fellow Democrat when she began choking.
A spokesman for Manchin tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that McCaskill began coking during a luncheon for Senate Democrats on Thursday. Manchin used the Heimlich manoeuvr to dislodge the blockage in McCaskill’s throat, but he cracked a rib in the process.
McCaskill addressed Democrats at the annual Truman Dinner in St. Louis on Saturday. She said she would not be hugging people when she appeared late last week at an NAACP dinner in St. Louis.
Manchin is from West Virginia; McCaskill represents Missouri.

If the maneuver is done correctly, a cracked rib is a possible outcome.

She wishes he would have done the hind lick maneuver.

It happens. Beats the hell out of choking to death.

Nah, that's your specialty.
