Karl Rove created a stir with his recent suggestion that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may have suffered traumatic brain injury in December 2012.

Speaking at a conference in California, he noted, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

Let’s ignore the media hyperventilating and look at what Rove actually suggested.

Secretary Clinton reportedly “fainted, fell and banged her head,” as The Daily Beast put it, suffering a subdural hematoma, or a hemorrhage between her brain and skull.

While surgery is sometimes needed in such cases, Clinton was “treated with blood thinners on Monday at a New York hospital to help dissolve a blood clot in her head,” CNN reported.

“Disabilities resulting from a TBI depend upon the severity of the injury, the location of the injury, and the age and general health of the individual,” says the NINDS.

And following TBI, “common disabilities include problems with cognition (thinking, memory, and reasoning), sensory processing (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell), communication (expression and understanding).”

Clinton didn’t just bump her head. Her husband said last week that her injury was, “a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over.”

Hey, Canadians are Americans too.

So are Peruvians and Colombians too.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yes. Dual, Canadian/British.

>> she is an old woman...bat...hag...$%^&*!@

“She was the epitome of a whipped dog, an abused female, in full cringe mode.”

Agree. Something has rattled her. Her lust for power is not as important as it once was.

Dems are keeping her propped up because they have no clue for 2016. She looks like she want to retire from the public scene.

Am I mistaken, or were there also rumors of her being involved in a terrorist attack on her helicopter during a state visit which accounted for her head injury. I've forgotten where it was that this was supposed to have happened.

I think there were also a group of news watchers convinced she had had a stroke.

Regardless of what happened, the circumstances where hushed up, she disappeared for months, and it conveniently avoide her presence at the Benghazi hearings. Sleazebags all.

I tell ya, something really heavy went down those days in Benghazi, man.

If and when Rep. Gowdy's committee learns the sum of what it was, he will be faced with deciding if the truth SHOULD be told to us. There is a palpable decline in USA influence EVERYWHERE that coincides precisely with that time in Benghazi.

We may not be able to handle the truth.

"Exploratory or perhaps Micro Surgery."

In through an eye socket?

It would be wrong not to inquire.

I am not sure why it would be wrong for Hillary when it was wrong to inquire about Obozo. No one in the lame stream media cared to look into Obozo’s background in any respect. The media saw a chance for America to offer up a black candidate to atone for America's slavery sins (he really isn't black but Arab) and they ran with it, assisting in covering up every aspect of Obozo’s past that might be offensive to “regular” Americans. WHY NOT THE SAME FOR HIDEBEAST? DOES ANYONE THINK THE MEDIA HAS REFORMED SINCE THEIR PERFORMANCES OF 2007-8 AND 2012?

[jetson]

Hillary ,Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein....THE WALKING DEAD!

[xzins]

IIRC, they did NOT inquire about Obama’s medical history. So, will the media do what’s right with Hillary? Probably not.

However, what is right is still right.

"And following TBI, “common disabilities include problems with cognition (thinking, memory, and reasoning),"

She clearly demonstrated problems like this BEFORE the fall."

[reformedliberal]

The lib FB pages are full of Elizabeth Warren links. They are already defecting to her.

[luvbach1]

My guess is that Hillary may whither and succumb once the intensity and the pressure of any real campaign begins.

I agree. She had a virtual melt-down before the committee.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Fauxcahontis...the fake Indian?

"President Obama is sufficiently concerned about youth sports concussions that he is hosting a summit to address the issue.

Last year he told The New Republic, “‘I’m a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I’d have to think long and hard before I let him play football.”

How does he feel about a hypothetical sister named Hillary, who already suffered “a terrible concussion” succeeding him in the Oval Office?

Hell with what Obama thinks, I know what I think. HELL NO!

[reformedliberal]

Yep. Also very wealthy and connected, or so I hear. One of the one-tenth of one-percenters.

[MeshugeMikey]

The NAME recognition alone should make him the Darling of the comm....Democrank Party I would think..

[Resettozero]

We do not need a vegetable to take root in the Oval Office.

Or a fruit?

Going from brain dead to brain damaged is no way to run a country.
