The State Department on Tuesday slammed John Bolton, George W. Bush's controversial ambassador to the United Nations, after he accused Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of faking an illness to avoid testifying this week about the Benghazi attack.
Bolton implied on Fox News on Monday night that Clinton lied about her illness to avoid saying anything potentially embarrassing that could come back to haunt her should she choose to run for president in 2016. The State Department put out a statement over the weekend from doctors at Mount Kisco Medical Group and George Washington University saying that Clinton “developed a stomach virus, leading to extreme dehydration, and subsequently fainted.”
“You know, every foreign service officer in every foreign ministry in the world knows the phrase I am about to use: When you don't want to go to a meeting or conference, or an event, you have a 'diplomatic illness,' ” Bolton told Fox News's Greta Van Susteren. “And this is a 'diplomatic illness' to beat the band.”

Another classic flak/over target moment.
She had a sick note from a union doctor in Madison, WI.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I'm shocked.
Hillary drink too much medicine and fall down and go boom!
This is one of things the Clintons do best.
This ol'gal will not be running for President!
I wonder if they would submit their test results and diagnosis under oath and for review by non-progressive doctors?
Say it’s not so! A Clinton lied?????
She was overseas before the elections to avoid this mess.
Everybody remember when the First (alleged) Lady claimed her
Whitewater files went missing at the White House when facing some heat
and 'found' days after the statute of limitations went into effect?
Oh, and the timing luck on the cattle futures!
Notice the doctors (I thought she didn’t see any)made no mention of a concussion. That head injury could come back to haunt her. Now, it’s gone. But her liver is going to explode before 2016.
So Obama’s controversial Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has her panties in a bunch? Boo-hoo, get out there and testify. Whadda ya hidin’?
Unless its this State Dept.
Then its more a matter for amusement. To call them lightweights would be dramatically understating it.
And now that you mention it.....
Where is the pressure from the media on Bronco to make his SOS testify ?
IFM
Diplomats must have the ability to look someone right in the eye and lie without flinching. If they are shrewd and intelligent they become known as statesmen. Clinton will always be remembered as a deceitful shrew, nothing more.
So diplomatic of them. News articles you never saw or will never see:
State Dept. Slams Hugo Chavez...We can see who their enemies are.
State Dept. Slams Fidel Castro...
State Dept. Slams Ahmadinejad...
State Dept. Slams Julian Assange...
State Dept. Slams the Muslim Brotherhood...
State Dept. Slams Hamas...
State Dept. Slams Arafat...
I hope he doesn't walk it back.
You gotta love John Bolton.
