Sounds just like Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.
That's EXACTLY what this is.
We have had cases here in Georgia where the mothers were caught on videotape injecting feces or urine into their child's IV, administering unprescribed sedatives, etc., or even illegal drugs.
These mothers revel in the publicity of being a "saintly mother of deathly ill child." They get so hooked on it they poison their own child to keep getting the publicity.
Sick, sick, sick. And Hillary, the "smartest woman in the world," bought right into it.
Yes, and this would be the second time that a woman who has this odd disorder has been made a poster child by a first lady. The same thing happened with Nancy Reagan.
When I think about it, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and liberal/welfare state politicians who uses poster children seem to fill the same psychological in needs the same way.
