Exactly. When President Bush fell in their personal quarters at the White House, didn't Hillary kinda poke fun at him for getting a gash on his head?
I wonder if your post, said with sarcasm, will be pulled by some lurker from DU, and they will say see...see, how hateful they are at FR.
Without even looking, I'm guessing that there are some "removed by moderator" posts on this thread....
Yikes, wouldn't that be something if that's what Hillary did in public?
I am torn between wanting to see that, just for the laugh factor... or not
(ever see the pic of the bungee jumper who messed his pants...)
agreed.
its pretty cold-hearted to wish for someones death, especially a mothers death. if a lib was to be tapdancing like this to bush or one of his family members, you guys would be throwing a fit.

Hillary Clinton Collapses During Speech
Senator Declines Being Taken To Hospital

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sen. Hillary Clinton collapsed during an appearance here Monday before delivering a speech on Social Security.
Clinton was not taken to a hospital and was expected to continue on with her schedule, an aide said.
Clinton was speaking in warm room in front of 150 people, according to one of her aides. She had been suffering from some sort of 24-hour flu.

"She was weak and needed to sit down. She fainted," said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Colleen DiPirro, president of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, told WBEN-AM radio that Clinton told the crowd she was feeling weak and had had a stomach virus. Clinton started to speak then collapsed, DiPirro told the radio station.
Clinton was at the Saturn Club in Buffalo, a private club in the city. The general manager of the club said Clinton walked out of the building under her own power and smiling.
"I saw her walk out the door by herself, she smiled and said 'thank you'," said the manager, Vincent Tracy.
The speech at the Saturn Club preceded one Clinton was scheduled to deliver later in the day at a Catholic college despite protests from anti-abortion groups and reluctance from the Catholic diocese. She was expected to discuss health care, not her pro-abortion stance -- the cause of the protesters' anger.
Several dozen people were waiting to hear that address. There were also hundreds of protesters waiting at the college.
During an earlier editorial board meeting Monday at The Buffalo News, Clinton complained about suffering from a flu-like bug that affected several of her staff members during a weekend retreat in Westchester. Clinton lives in Westchester County.
The former first lady was elected to the Senate from New York in 2000 to replace Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who had decided to retire. She easily beat then-U.S. Rep. Rick Lazio after the Republican Party's original candidate, then-New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani withdrew from the race after announcing he had prostate cancer.
Long a lightning rod for conservatives, Clinton, 57, had said she planned to run for re-election in 2006. She is considered a leading contender for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
Her 58-year-old husband underwent quadruple bypass surgery in September.

DEAD, in reference to my last post, LOOK WHAT NUMBER YOUR POST WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that others on this thread have, in one way or another, responded to this comment of yours, and to your comment about "sanctimony".
Nevertheless, I would like to make a comment or two.
First, one of the legacies of the Clinton administration, in my view, is the truly nasty attitude that seems to infest our political discussions -- and not just herr on FR.
I disagree with Hillary on many, many things. And I happen to think she is a conniving woman who will step on anyone to gain power. WHat she did to Billy Dale was outrageous.
But Hillary is NOT my "enemy". She is an opponent. (And an oppionent that will not prevail, because her ideas for governing are not grounded in reality.)
Osama Bin Laden. Fidel Castro. Robert Mugabe. Those guys are my enemies. Not even Ted Kennedy (a Senator who isn't really bright enough to understand that his ideas and his rhetoric lost all relevance many years ago.) is not an enemy. He is an opponent.
But what is truly remarkable is that you say that you do not understand the well wishes here.
Your comment reflects, it seems to me, the awful legacy from the Clinton era that I mentioned earlier.
I am old enough to remember quite well the day that John Kennedy was killed -- and the weeks after that. Almost no one -- even people who opposed Kennedy's policies -- was glad to see him die. (Or, if they did, they had the good sense and taste not to vioce their views in public).
I do remember a few people saying that they were glad that the "sob" had been shot and was dead.
But even in 1963, our society viewed such comments are tasteless, hateful, and outside the bounds of respectable behavior.
Many of us here on FR (myself included) are pro-life. It's one of the many difference between this website and that other one that Doesn't Understand. Because we are por-life, many of us take grave offense that someone would actually say that well wishes for someone who has collapsed are not understood.
I mentioned one difference between FR and DU.
But there is one other big difference.
And that is that, as a group, we voice our strong objections to liberal thought and policy. But we do so without wishing the deaths of our liberal opponents.
DU seems to invite people who don't understand well wishes to an opponent who has collapsed. I'm not sure why they think it's OK to wish their opponents ill, but it may be because they have no good ideas or because they never have heard one of the basic, foundational rules of life.
It was said about 2,000 years ago by a guy whose insight into human behavior was amazing. He said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Treat othjer people the same way you would want them to treat you."
Thank goodness, there you are.
Whats it like on the other side?
lol . . . was I overcompensating a little bit there? Sorry 'bout that! :-)
Sure it is...if you're spawning a baby for SATAN!!!!!
Ahhhhhh!!!!! My “Hillary may be pregnant” post showed up as post #666!
That’s freaking spooky!
I think Laz would be deeply saddened if it wasn't...[g]
MY POST WAS 678
Bingo.
"She's only in her fifties! It's not impossible!"
ROTFL! Here I am, trying to be as sanctimonious as possible, and you post that!!!
Hillary can once again be a VICTIM, a role she has perfected.
There were several expert OB/GYNs who specialize in getting older women pregnant, who stated that it is almost a certainty Edwards used donor eggs.
