And he did it after slipping on ice. Lousy global warming!WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates suffered a fractured shoulder after slipping on ice Tuesday night at his Washington home, the Pentagon said.
Gates, 64, didn't seek treatment until Wednesday morning when he checked into Walter Reed Army Medical Center, said Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell.
"I think he's in a lot of pain," Morrell said.
Gates apparently slipped as he returned from dinner, he said.

Gates immediately retaliated against the ice by ordering massive carpet bombings of the North Pole, South Pole, and Willard Scott's residence.
