BUFFALO, N.Y. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) collapsed Monday during a speech on Social Security (news - web sites), moments after complaining about a stomach virus.

"She fainted after not feeling well, got medical attention and is proceeding with her planned schedule," according to a statement released by her office in Washington.
Colleen DiPirro, president of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce (news - web sites), told WBEN-AM radio that Clinton told the crowd she was feeling weak and had had a stomach virus. Clinton started to speak then collapsed, DiPirro told the radio station.
Clinton, 57, was smiling when she walked out of the private club where she had collapsed, the club's general manager said.
"I saw her walk out the door by herself, she smiled and said `thank you'," said Saturn Club general manager Vincent Tracy.
Later Monday, she arrived at a Catholic college where she was to speak about health care. Several hundred people were waiting to hear that address. There were also dozens of anti-abortion protesters waiting at the college.
In September, Clinton's 58-year-old husband underwent quadruple bypass surgery.
During an earlier editorial board meeting Monday at The Buffalo News, Clinton complained about suffering from a flu-like bug that affected several of her staff members during a weekend retreat in Westchester County, where she lives.
It's a miracle!
I wish Hillary Clinton long life and good health.
Maybe she encountered a Crucifix at the Catholic college?
Well, Damn!
Since she's recovered, I guess she only got a little damp. You'd think her security people would know better than to let anyone get near her with water. I'll bet heads will roll now.
:(

Apropos of nothing.
The Bishop slams her and so she will not appear.
Don't you just love the fact that they don't mention Billy's name, just that her husband had heart surgery.
Hopefully this collapse was brought on by the forthright announcement by Buffalo's new Catholic bishop that she is not welcome to bring her abortion message to Catholic organizations and schools in his diocese. When bishops properly fulfill their role of leadership in matters of faith and morals, it can make it tough for folks like Hilary to work their con.
The docs told her to quit HEAD BOBBING....its going to scramble her brains
Recovering from a fatal head-wound? ("The Beast" Alert!)
Brains. That's a good one.
