Hillary healthy?
Legal Insurrection ^ | March 1, 2014 | Professor William A. Jacobson

Hillary seems like a fighter in the Tenth Round of the match.

Alternative title: Is Hillary sick in the head?

FWIW, I’ve notice Hillary lately having a vacant, sickly appearance. Not enough to have done a post about it, but I noticed.

Alex Pappas at The Daily Caller writes that others have noticed, too. Whispers persist that Hillary won’t run: Health may be worse than disclosed.

"If you listen to the chattering class in Washington, D.C., Hillary Clinton is a virtual certainty for the 2016 Democratic nomination, and the front-runner in the next presidential race.

But in private, rumors persist that the former Secretary of State may not even be capable of making it to Iowa and New Hampshire. Clinton, these skeptics often say, will not run for president again because of health concerns….

Asked about her health on Thursday, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said in an email to The Daily Caller: ”To your question, very caring of you to ask. She’s 100%.” …

But the rumors suggesting otherwise date back to the end of 2012, when Clinton’s health made headlines as she finished her term as secretary of state: aides explained then that she developed a stomach virus, hit her head, suffered a concussion and subsequently developed a blood clot in her brain but was being medicated and was expected to recover.

But skeptics say there is much more to the story of her health, which has recently been the subject of increased speculation in Washington.

Because of these rumors, some on the right have been convincing themselves that Hillary is sick and therefore won’t run — a bombshell that would upend the 2016 race.

Roger Stone, the GOP consultant, wrote on Twitter recently that Clinton is “not running for health reasons,” telling followers to “remember you heard it first” from him."

Media Matters, defender of all things Hillary, sees deep conspiracies behind the rumors:

"The phony concussion “rumor” has faded away, so the Caller has made up a new one. And Pappas apparently did the job his employer is looking for – his story got a Drudge Report link, and Caller reporters are paid in part based on traffic. This brand of conservative rumormongering is shoddy, but apparently it pays."

Who knows what the truth is.

I don’t think it’s just a matter of age, or even the medicals. Hillary is just 2 years older than Elizabeth Warren, but they have very different energy.

Warren seems like a fighter in the first round, Hillary a fighter in the tenth round.

Hillary seems tired, someone going through the motions, who is fighting not because she wants to, but because it’s expected of her.

For years I’ve claimed she is physically ill. It’s the puffiness and swelling in her forearms, wrists and face. At minimum diabetes, but I think it’s something much worse.

She has a terminal disease, if smell could waft across the internet I could swear I am smelling it.

Doesn’t matter, the democrats will elect a cadaver if it promises them glory and equality for all.

Didn’t the “Beast” take a fall on her head awhile back?

Nonsense. Democrats don't give two hoots in a holler about whether they are healthy enough to serve in high office. They only care about personal power. And the news media will always cover it up. For examples, FDR and JFK.

Cadavers are significant in the Democrat base.

It’s a convenient excuse.

I’ve lost consciousness plenty of times, and hit my head, and it’s not fun.

But I do not believe that that happened to her. All they do is lie.

Yes, many, many ‘RAT voters have assumed room temperature. The DNC could haul around Her Royal Heinous in a body bag, and she’d win the party’s nomination.

What, as if Joe “Village Idiot” Biden or “Fauxcahontas” Warren have a chance?

What ever happened in 2012, was fake. She was just delaying her testimony.

The blog quotes GOPe RINO political consultant Roger Stone. Roger Stone?!! Roger Stone?!! He’s backed more losers than Jenny Craig. If that idiot says Hellery’s not running, it’s a sure bet she *is* running.

That special lens on the left eye isn't for bad eyesight.

Hillary! sure has a talent for keeping herself in the news and in the public eye.

A lot of this Hillary stuff is being published by the National Enquirer which is owned by a major Clinton backer.

"Nonsense. Democrats don't give two hoots in a holler about whether they are healthy enough to serve in high office. They only care about personal power. And the news media will always cover it up. For examples, FDR and JFK."

The fact that she's not capable of doing the job won't stop Bill Clinton and all of the Clintons' minions. It may take more than one collapse in front of a large audience before she -- or her handlers -- throw in the towel. And what other candidates do the Democrats have?

Did anyone else notice that the link to the story disappeared from Drudge? They seem to be awfully sensitive about this story.

It’s a Fresnel Prism, used to help the wearer deal with double vision.

From the NY Post:

– Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s new eyeglasses aren’t just a new look — they have a special lens that’s used to treat double vision, eye doctors told The Post. Clinton, recently treated for a blood clot near her brain after a fall, wore the Fresnel lens to aid her left eye during the Benghazi hearing. “This kind of prism helps for people who are experiencing double vision,” said Dr. Vike Vicente, a pediatric ophthalmologist in Bethesda, Md. “Anybody who’s had a head injury, as the Secretary of State did, it could affect the way your eyes move,” he said.
