| Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has suffered a concussion after a fainting fit Saturday morning and is now recovering at home, officials said today. (Snip) ´Senator Kerry was relieved to hear that the Secretary is on the mend, but he insisted that given her condition, she could not and should not appear on Thursday as previously planned, and that the nation´s best interests are served by the report and hearings proceeding as scheduled with senior officials appearing in her place.´

Scandal and cover-up has followed this witch for decades. Providing testimonty to congress is part of her job description. If she cannot fulfill the duties of her office she needs to step down until such time that she can.
Seems to me she is taking a page from the Janet Reno playbook who also played this card when she was supposed to testify regarding Waco or one of the other criminal debacles during the Clinton years.
This woman (Madam Hillary) is a disgrace, transparent phoney and embarassment to our nation - as is her boss Barry and her old man Bill.

It seems to me that I remember another person, GHW Bush, vomiting at a State dinner and then keeling over. It has nothing to do with age people. My daughter is an RN and she tells me that these bugs can hit older persons very badly. And given this country´s dependence on antibiotics that themselves can be harmful, these bugs are only going to get worse as time goes by.
I despise this woman´s unethical behaviour and all the evil she has helped to perpetuate against our country with every fiber of my heart and soul. But I can´t fault her here if she is really sick. If she is proved to be faking something to get out of testifying though, all bets are off.

She was probably running through enemy bullets, causing her to "faint" and get a "concussion" - concussions are notoriously diagnosed after a fall in which someone claims to have struck the head and claims nausea.

Drudge´s photo choices of Hillary are deliciously devilish.
He strongly implies that she has a drink problem. If you Drudge, you know that he wouldn´t bother if it wasn´t true but a direct accusation would get the usual denials. And so he lets the quantity and frequency of incidents speak for themselves.

All right, let´s be scientific about this - has she been seen by a doctor? Remember a few years ago a young, healthy actress had a minor head injury while skiing & wasn´t treated. She died a day later. Since then, we are all aware that head injuries can be VERY serious. Now we are constantly told that Hillary is soooo smart. If she hasn´t seen a doctor, it seems she is gambling with her health. And while we are on the subject - about her HEAVY traveling schedule: have other SOS traveled this much - as in constantly? Where is her work product? What are the results of so much travel? Or is she just sight-seeing on the tax-payer dime & avoids going home to Bill. Maybe she´s afraid of what she might catch him doing while he´s home "alone."

Piaps has a track record of telling outrageous lies. She seems to have a make believe anecdote for every occasion. The most outrageous of which is, "I dodged machine gun fire on the tarmac in Bosnia. She told that whopper multiple times before journalist Cheryl Akkisson of CBS humiliated hillary with the truth of the matter. Piaps also tells big lies everytime she is up against political embarrassment or connection with a criminal matter. Recall her Whitewater testimony. Now here comes the concussion story. Any reasonable person knows she´s lying about the concussion so she can dodge testifying on Libya. The concussion prattle is piaps versIon of "my dog ate my homework." It is very disturbing that the corrupt press covers for this shameful woman on demand. The press must have lost all self respect.

The piaps is obviously lying in an attempt to run for cover. Her creepy old man pulled a similar stunt with a phony-baloney ankle injury.
Having said this, I completely concur with what Poster #7 is suggesting. When it starts to show -- and in hillary´s situation, it is, definitely -- the time is long passed where it can be hidden or swept under the rug. The piaps is now dealing with a serious elephant in the parlor, with no pun intended.

Thanks, #29. 100% accurate.
OTOH, this incident could be responsible for the revival of the entire US economy. Once the advantages of fainting are fully embraced, the "Fainting Couch" business will come roaring back with a vengeance. Happy days are just around the corner.
Fainting has ALWAYS been a scam, an attempt to buy time, curry sympathy and change the subject.

I do not believe we are being told the truth. As the top official in the U>S> State Dept, had she truly fell and hit her head hard enough to cause a concussion, she would have been taken to a hospital for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Who diagnosed the concussion and why was Mrs Clinton not put under observation to preclude a worse injury. You readers figure it out for yourselves. Just a hint, it never happened the way the media reported. Who incurs a concussion and is NOT taken for further treatment to insure nothing else occurred.

On #14´s hint, i made an excursion to Drudge and read a few articles. In one there´s mention of two doctors who sound so very serious about piaps´s need to stay home and rest up.
Sounds like a kindergartener.
We all know this is a feint not a faint. She is a pathological liar, like so many (probably all) in her left-wing party, since the End Justifies the Means.
In any event, someone ought to make sure she knows that alcohol is dehydrating.
Call your Senators and tell them HRC must show up for hearings.

When you deal with facts, coincidences are a non starter, until they are proven otherwise.
This is too much of a coincidence that has not been proven to be a coincidence, so until then it is prudent to think that Hillary Clinton is hiding out from the Congressional Committee that is looking into the Benghazi.
There is no news about what medical attention Hillary Clinton received following her fainting spell and concussion, or that she was in hospital.
The facts concerning the Benghazi attack must be pretty bad, and thus Clinton cannot politically allow herself to have anything to do publicly with what is probably gross incompetence by higher ups in Washington, D.C.

Actually, she is backing off. Here’s the thing about her now-famous MSNBC promo: Either she’s saying something radical or she’s saying something so banal that it’s barely even worth saying. The radical interpretation is that she thinks parents should have less say over how their children are raised and that “communities” should have a larger role. The very, very banal interpretation is that she thinks communities should do more to improve children’s lives and that thinking of them as “our children” might help forge that mentality.

Housing services are spread across 20 different agencies. Renewable energy projects go through 23 federal agencies and 130 sub-agencies. Even federal catfish inspections are done by three different agencies. These are only a few of 162 examples identified by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a congressional watchdog agency, of fragmented, duplicative federal programs and services.

Earlier on Tuesday, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus suggested the second dinner not be at an expensive restaurant. “Instead of eating out as the president and senators did last month, I suggest they eat in,”

WASHINGTON- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says he wants U.S. military law changed so senior commanders can´t overturn courts-martial verdicts in major crimes such as rape. Hagel said the Pentagon´s top lawyers would prepare legislation for Congress that would strip commanders´ power to toss out convictions, "except for certain minor offenses that would not ordinarily warrant trial by court-martial." Convicted defendants still would be able to appeal their cases. But in a move berated by advocacy groups for military sexual-assault victims, Hagel also said he would recommend commanders retain the power to alter courts-martial sentences,

If presidential politics ever involved time travel, President Obama might be in a little trouble. If an election between Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama were held today, 58% would vote for Reagan over Obama, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans age 18 and older conducted by Kelton Research for the National Geographic Channel. Though when the field is narrowed to people ages 18-34 -- those either too young to have known Reagan as president or too young to remember much -- the gap shrinks to 51% in favor of Reagan.

We´ve got full background here, but the toplines are this: Corn got hold of a conversation apparently recorded during a presentation by consultants to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell´s reelection campaign. The consultants were opposition researchers, hired by the campaign to ferret out damaging information about actress Ashley Judd, who at one point considered running against McConnell.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”
