We’re told she collapsed and hit her head and got a concussion, and that’s why she can’t testify about Benghazi this week. And we’re supposed to just take her word for it.
Investor’s Business Daily editorializes:
Outside the frothy bubble of U.S. political concerns lie only the hard realities of the real world. That’s why hard questions should be asked — and real answers demanded — of U.S. secretaries of state and those who would be them.
That’s not the case with either Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who puts up excuse after excuse to avoid testifying on the U.S.’ biggest foreign policy failure in Libya, while her would-be successor, John Kerry, wins plaudits from the media despite a long record of anti-Americanism and bad foreign policy calls.
Clinton claims she can’t testify for Congress on Thursday because she fell down over the weekend and got a concussion. Maybe so, but thus far no one’s seen a medical report. What’s more, it’s the second time Clinton has put off crucial congressional testimony about the murder of a U.S. ambassador and three other U.S. officials by Islamist terrorists in Benghazi, Libya, last Sept. 11. The previous time, she had more pressing business, tasting wine in Australia and checking up on East Timor.
It looks like avoidance of responsibility to preserve her own political viability.
It certainly does. If she has a concussion, let’s see the medical report. Let’s see some proof that she’s not just stonewalling. If it’s true, then we can all wish her a speedy recovery. But it’s ridiculous to expect us to take her word for it.
What’s that you say? You don’t think that’s fair? All the paranoid wingnuts should shut up? Oh, I’m sure you’d say the same thing if this had happened between 2001-2009, and Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice kept putting off testifying about it. You wouldn’t demand a doctor’s note then, right?
Right.
P.S. If you demanded Romney’s tax returns but you think it’s paranoid to ask for Hillary Clinton’s medical report, #YouMightBeALiberal.
P.P.S. Glenn Rynolds: “Maybe she can get one of those Wisconsin doctors to write her a fake note.” Remember that?
P.P.P.S. Apparently we’re not supposed to ask. And we’re supposed to pretend the left wouldn’t be asking the same thing if all this had happened when the president was a Republican.
Did they do a blood alcohol test?
I remember Bubba fell down some stairs in Florida after or during a drunken Bacchanal
Cut her some slack - she didn’t have an aspirin factory to bomb.
Did you see the fall? She just tripped entering the plane - her head never hit the floor. No, she probably won’t testify. I don’t find it unusual. It’s expected in a Banana Republic.
Bubba’s “fall down the stairs” was a cover story so he could hide his Peroni’s surgery. He got his twisted dick straightened just in case he had to show it to somebody during one of his Bimbo Eruption trials. Post surgery after having his groin worked on caused a limp...therefore he “fell down some stairs”.
He Sure did, that was when he was Carousing/Boozing around w/ Greg Norman at Normans Florida Estate.
“...The injury occurred about 1:20 this morning, White House officials said, when Mr. Clinton was finishing up a talk with Mr. Norman and starting down a dimly lighted flight of four wooden stairs in front of the main house....(later) Asked by a reporter if Mr. Clinton had had a drink with Mr. Norman beforehand, Dr. Connie Mariano, the White House physician, said that he had not....” LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Clintons Lied About Everything, Even Drinking!
The concussion could be a delayed reaction to the bombing/shooting on the tarmac of her Mid East trip a few years ago. You remember the one. It was the one where millions of people had weapons(including Flamethrowers) and directly confronted Hillary. Luckily she hid behind a small child handing her flowers and all was saved.
Evidently, her mom Eva Braun suffered from similar episodes.
Maybe she got it dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.

Amputate!
Benghazi Massacre File.
how about puttosleep?
Wasn’t that when he was hanging out with the Chappaquiddick Swimming Champ?
I seem to recall jokes about that vacation being called “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure”...
Had Hillary actually injured her head, it’s unlikely she would have been just “seen” by a doctor. The celebrated Secretary of State, next President of the US, first female President, smartest woman in the world, surrounded by Secret Service agents for life, thanks to Bill arranging it before stepping down, would have been Code 4 motorcaded to an upscale hospital with full media escort, had the ER cleared out, and every MD and specialist within thousands of miles at her side, while the entire world held its collective breath at this brave woman battling for her life, with update reports every 15 minutes.
Nothing happened. She’s relying of the time-tested tactic of mafiosi worldwide to bee too sick to testify, but will miraculously recover the day her appointment runs out. Bill, the former capo of Arkansas, likely provided the advice. It’s exactly what Carlos Marcello would have done.
Sounds good to me
I know just the death panel that would order it.
OR ...... she could have been a little tipsy .. and therefore didn’t want to go out in public .. if you know what I mean ..?? Can’t have records showing alcohol in her blood just before a fall .. now can we ..??
Maybe John Kerry’s wife gave Hillary the secret about soaking raisens in Gin - to help you get through menopause ..??
But .. I don’t know why Hillary would be worried about her career .. most dems get a prommotion when they screw up.

Seems Hillarys plane crash Iran is starting to show she is medically unfit to serve as president in 2016. Funny nobody remembers the speculation about the plane crash and the blood clot and hospitalization that followed.
I don’t remember ever hearing about or reading about the whole issue. I never knew she was in a plane crash; but I did hear of the blood clot issue.
I think they were so secretive about it, that not many people really know what happened.
All I ever heard were the rumors of her “Iced Tea” drink that she was always having her staff prepare; in fact I think there was only one staff person who was allowed to prepare it - which meant to me .. Hillary didn’t want a bunch of people knowing what she might be putting in her Iced Tea.
