Hillary Clinton falling ill at a memorial service on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks Sunday morning will catapult questions about her health from the ranks of conservative conspiracy theory to perhaps the central debate in the presidential race over the coming days.
"Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen," spokesman Nick Merrill said. "During the ceremony, she felt overheated, so departed to go to her daughter's apartment and is feeling much better."
What that statement leaves out is that a) it came 90 minutes after Clinton left the ceremony b) reporters -- or even a reporter -- were not allowed to follow her and c) the temperature in New York City at the time of Clinton's overheating was in the low 80s. (A heat wave over the eastern United States broke last night/this morning.)
Whether Clinton likes it or not, her "overheating" comes at a very bad time for her campaign. Thanks to the likes of Rudy Giuliani and a small but vocal element of the Republican base, talk of Clinton's health had been bubbling over the past week -- triggered by a coughing episode she experienced during a Labor Day rally.
That talk was largely confined to Republicans convinced that Clinton has long been hiding some sort of serious illness. I wrote dismissively of that conspiracy theory in this space last week, noting that Clinton had been given an entirely clean bill of health by her doctors after an episode in which she fainted, suffered a concussion and then a blood clot in late 2012 and early 2013.

Tapper on CNN now recognizing she has a transparency problem on this. (I think they’ve seen the video).
IIRC I read that one or two states had closed candidate qualifying for the ballot. Does this mean Biden won’t be a replacement?
They’ll freeze her body and drag it across the finish one so that if she wins Kaine can step in.
Remember Hillary's lie about Chelsea on 9/11?
Hillary made up a story that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on 9-11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit the Twin Towers.
But Chelsea said that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit.
Now that Hillary has been nailed in an outright fabrication of her role in Bosnia, it is time to remind ourselves of another, even more galling fantasy that Hillary tried to sell the voters.
After 9-11, Hillary had a problem. New Yorkers were desperately focused on their own needs for protection and they were saddled with a Senator who was not one of them — an Arkansan or was it a Chicagoan?
Interviewed on the Today Show one week after 9-11, she spun an elaborate yarn. The kindest thing we could say was that it was a fantasy. Or a fabrication.
She said that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on 9-11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea’s life. But Chelsea told Talk Magazine that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit. Her friend called her, waking her up, and told her to turn on the TV. On television, she saw the second plane hit, disproving Hillary’s claim that “she heard the plane hit. She heard it. She did.”
So why did Hillary make up the story about Chelsea? Most likely to was because her co-Senator (and implicit rival for the voter’s affection), a real New Yorker Chuck Schumer spoke of his daughter, who attended Stuyvesant High School (Dick’s alma mater) located next to the Trade Center, being at real risk on 9-11. Hillary needed to make herself part of the scene.
She invented the entire story on national television, the Today Show, and didn’t blink an eye.
Her fabrication on the Today Show was no unique foray. It is her standard M.O. It gives us pause in evaluating all of her stories and calls into question her entire credibility.
Trump leads in two of the three daily tracking polls out today.
He leads by 2.2% in the UPI tracker and 2.3% in People’s Pundit tracking.
Bush lost the election 11 months later
They tried to say she tripped going off the curb, but if you watch her feet in the video, she was still leaning up against the concrete post when she started to go down. If people hadn’t caught her she would have been flat on her back on the sidewalk. I think the game of charades on her health issues just came sputtering to an end. But who knows how they will spin it?
Trump to appear for full hour interview this Thursday, September 15, on the Dr. Oz Show with daughter Ivanka.
He will discuss his health regimen!!!
Was the woman in blue who stood with her at the ceremony and beyond a health care worker?
And the left said Reagan had Alzheimer’s from the early 80s.
The reporter is still ignoring the impairment claimed by the hildabeast in the FBI interview. Facts are piling up.
I have this mental image of Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn falling apart going down the stairs. Name the movie.
It was her Senate successor Kristen Gillabrandt.
Add it to the long list of her transparency problems
How could Hillary Clinton feel overheated? According to the Weather Channel, the temperature when she says she was getting overheated, was a cool & comfortable 79F degrees, with no sun out and cloudy, overhead skies. Hillary, the lie teller lies again!!! Go Donald J. Trump!!!

Chris Cilizza has finally been forced to concede Hillary’s health is not just a right-wing talking point.
Every one can see she’s a sick old woman who has no business being anywhere near the White House.
I’d like to see her medical records, not just a doctor’s statement.
The health of the POTUS IS the business of the American people.
