Hillary Clinton faints, gets concussion...
... and won't be available to testify about Benghazi on Thursday.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/15/us/us-...ion/index.html Cue the conspiracy theories.

Dammit, I just got through saying to someone, 'Call me when that actually happens' about the not testifying.
I'll be getting that call for sure. I probably agree with them, though I don't like that.

Breaking News: Hillary Clinton is hospitalized with a blood clot related to a concussion earlier this month, her spokesman said.
Details forthcoming...

All those no class, no decency Republicans who said Hillary Clinton was faking her illness (I'm looking at YOU, Alan West, you repulsive loser!) need to apologize.
I know they won't, but hopefully they will at least STFU!

Bummer. Not a cool way to ring in the new year. I hope she recovers quickly, and is able to rest. I can't imagine a job like hers offers many opoprtunities to let the mind relax.

I'm just happy she had government sponsored health care when she needed it. Good for her.

That is terrible!
I know I'm one of the ones who thought it was very unlike Hillary to take a week off, and I was suspicious, but I'm also amazing in my ability to have the worst coincidences happen to me and blow my credibility. Ask my undergrad profs It truly, truly sucks, and I apologize for being skeptical of her.

Saw this today and thought I'd mention it here:
Hillary Clinton has topped Gallup's "Most Admired Woman" poll yet again - her seventeenth time, and her eleventh consecutive time. The only woman who comes anywhere close to Hillary's winning record is Eleanor Roosevelt, who won the title thirteen times. http://www.ketknbc.com/news/obama-cl...ed-people-of-2 She has said before that she will not be running for president. That may well be a wise choice, but she certainly commands a formidable level of respect and support.

However, her age, and now her health, will be used as reasons to rule Clinton out. Her statements that she will not run for president have to be placed in the context of the times. Hillary Clinton knows she's a top contender for the presidency. It would be foolish to squander all the good will and positive polling she is presently enjoying by demonstrating any overt desire for the presidency. I believe Clinton will take a year off. Maybe two, but by the latter part of 2014, don't be surprised if those whispers of another run by the Secretary of State/former U.S. Senator/former First Lady become louder and louder...

Fox News found Sec. Clinton's concussion hilarious.
![]() http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/01...clinton-video/ The always vile John Bolton hasn't changed his position since the blood clot was discovered. Greg Gutfeld of The Five went on the attack against any criticism of their mockery. So everyone does it so we get to do it too, huh? Do these people have any sense of decency? How about a little class? Quote:

Eh, presuming this was as random a confluence of events as it seems, I don't think it'll have any impact on her run.
People with actual health issues have been nominated, in the recent past. This weirdness isn't really a health issue, imo. It could've happened to anyone, at any age. |
