Clinton's aides revealed that the flu, which forced her to cancel her appearance before Congressional committees today, was in fact due to severe morning sickness.
"She obviously regrets the slight deception, but is sure that Congress, and the American people, will understand and forgive her, given the circumstances," the aide stated.
Pregnancies at her age are quite rare, but not unheard of. They are by definition very high risk, but with proper medical care and a careful lifestyle, can be carried successfully to term. But obviously, the demands of the position, the long hours and extensive travelling, make it impossible for her to continue in her duties, and she will be resigning immediately.
The aide further stated that given the doctor's orders for complete rest, it's highly unlikely that she will be able to testify before Congress until several months after the baby is born, assuming of course that Congress still wishes to hear from her at that time.
The White House was obviously caught by surprise at the sudden announcement, and had no comment except that "President and Mrs. Obama wish the Clintons all the best in this time of great joy."
When asked if this would result in an immediate nomination of a replacement, the WH again had no comment.
Congratulatory messages began arriving almost immediately, from all over the world.
Jennifer Aniston Tweeted: "You go girl!Let's compare baby bumps!"
Kate Middleton, in a statement, congratulated the Clintons, and hoped that they could one day arrange play-dates, either at Buckingham Palace or in Chappaqua.
Huma Abdelin, Clinton's top aide at the State Department, was stopped by a reporter while she was wheeling her own bay in a stroller. She too was completely surprised at the news but broke into tears of joy when told. "I'm so happy for them," she said. If this new baby brings them as much joy as Anthony and I have with our child, they will be very blessed."
Monica Lewinsky Tweeted: "U GOT TO BE KIDDING!"
FYI
So who’s the lucky turkey baster?
“Hillary Clinton announced this morning that she’s approximately two months pregnant”
EEEWWWW!!!!
Srsly?
Fishing early? It is funny.
Clinton seemed very surprised, loudly remarking “Whoa!!!!” possibly because he didn’t expect the announcement to come so soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And possibly because he had no idea. He - like all of America - wonders who the daddy is.
(”That damn Hubbell again!”)
You really need to put something in parenthesis to warn people this is humor.
Of course, it will be an Immaculate Deception
She should have stayed away from that pickle jar...
ken
funny and disgusting at the same time, well done.
Was she wearing a stained blue pants suit?
Now why don't you go out and get a life. you apparently have way too much time on your hands.
She will unexpectedly miscarry, the whole world will mourn and she will have escaped scrutiny on Benghazi and will be set up to run for president.
I just have to say it’s hard to wretch, laugh and fall out of my chair at the same time, but I managed to do it. I have a big mess over here now, thank you very much!
Still laughing.
False alarm. She was just seriously constipated. After two shots of Tequila and a large chili burrito Supreme with extra onions she “gave birth” to what looked like an Obama love child.
Bill Clinton: “I want to say this one time... I did NOT have sex with that woman, Hillary Clinton”...
This should be a lesson to all women. Check the sperm level in a hot tub before entering.
Great job! As to the comments here to the contrary; more signs of the times.
