| The State Department says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who skipped an overseas trip this past week because of a stomach virus, sustained a concussion after fainting. She´s now recovering at home and being monitored by doctors. An aide, Philippe Reines, says Clinton will work from home next week, at the recommendation of doctors. Congressional aides do not expect her to testify as scheduled at congressional hearings on Thursday into the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

The faux-concussion has wiped her memory banks clean of any an all information about Benghazi. However, she does remember her offshore bank account number...

The saddest thing about this is that the media must see through it, yet they will still give her a pass. In fact, they´ll probably accuse anyone who doesn´t give her a pass of politicizing her "injury."

Hillary Clinton is absolutely avoiding testifying about the Benghazi attack or doing any television news appearances where questions might be asked about the Benghazi attack. Whatever connection to the Benghazi security situation that she must have had must be really bad.

This lying, corrupt woman has polluted the body politic from her time with watergate when she failed her dc bar and could not get a letter of recommendation because of unethical conduct. Hillary- the chickens are coming home to roost and you have the blood of four Americans on your hands-you ARE responsible.

Cripes! First she jets off to South America right after Benghazi, then she rushes back to catch her flight to Australia to ´test´ some wines...(did anyone see anything about which wine she liked best)meanwhile she is getting paid for all this...then she shoots off to the Middle East ´looking for peace´, she returns and as Benghazi heats up awaiting her testimony she ´sustains´ a concussion...not that she hasn´t had one since marrying old Bill...now she is ´laid´ up for a week...I guess next we will hear she is pregnant and can´t get out of bed for 8 months...TRANSPARENT MY A**!!!

As much as it pains me, I agree with #30. People actually do get sick. She may have a hidden health issue that needs dealing with here.
I am willing to give her a very small benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. After all, we expect same from libs when someone like Dick Cheney gets ill. (I know, I know, but hope springs...)

PIAPS has just found an excuse to return for more time in her pod before leaving the State Department without having to do anymore tiresome decision making. Testify? HA!

It´s not the tesitying that PIAPS is worried about. She can lie there as well as anywhere.
But it´s having to put her hand on a Bible that scares her so much. She knows she will probably immediately catch on fire as soon as she touches it. Pure evil and pure good just can´t collide without some sort of massive reaction.
So she will do ANYTHING to get out of that nasty little swearing in part...

Besides being childish -"Mommy, I am sick and cannot go to school today"- this transparent maneuver strongly suggests genuine desperation about her responsibility for the Benghazi massacre. There must be something really, really bad they want to keep under wraps as long as possible in the hope the public will lose interest in the whole business.
It would be interesting to know if there is any precedent in U.S. history for the attempt by a Cabinet officer to evade sworn testimony before a Congressional investigating committee by claiming a concussive head injury. The Clintons are always breaking new ground and transgressing fresh boundaries in their never-ending war on truth, justice and the American way. Hillary may have the honor of being the first Cabinet level officer to pull a stunt like this. Americans really do seem to be getting dumber and dumber. No one would have dared to do something like this in earlier generations, because they would have known that the public would never fall for it. Now, though, with the dismal evidence of American voter incompetence before us in the form of -inter alia- the election and re-election of a character like Barack Obama for president, who can blame Hillary &Co. for thinking such a trick could very well work?

What #76 said - I know someone just like this & every time there´s hard work to do or if she just wants to be babied, she develops a "back problem" & takes to a wheelchair! According to her, she´s the world´s toughest feminist & keeps a poster of Rosie the Riveter in her LR. Her latest gambit is getting "food poisoning" every time she doesn´t get to go to the restaurant of her choice & is forced to eat home cooking. It is passive aggression - just like the smartest woman in the world saying, "I don´t recaaalll.. in that laconic way of hers.

Out of sight for at least 2 weeks - long enough to get her eyes done and little nip tuck here and there.

#95 says it for me. Remember Jon Fraud Kerry´s lie last summer that he had got his two black eyes playing hockey - coincidentally coinciding with a shiny new facelift? Serials liers, both of them.

Schools and police stations were burning in Stockholm as violent riots continued for a fifth consecutive night. Emergency services were called to 70 separate incidents, including two torched primary schools, burning shops and a destroyed library building also housing a local police unit. Despite police claiming that the situation is beginning to calm down, critics say the riots were unavoidable after years of widening social gaps in a country which has the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens in Scandinavia.

The lawyer picked Thursday to succeed Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago´s U.S. attorney is a former federal prosecutor best known for taking on corrupt politicians and powerful institutions such as the University of Notre Dame. Zachary Fardon would take over an office that has made its mark nationally by putting crooked government officials behind bars but increasingly faces pressure to do more to help in the fight against Chicago´s violent street gangs. "Zachary Fardon will be unwavering in his commitment to justice, and I am confident he will serve the people of Illinois with excellence," President Barack Obama said

The Democratic National Committee is accusing the GOP of "making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air." In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans´ accusations of scandal aren´t legitimate — a claim that´s sure to draw howls from the right."Getting in President Obama´s way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one. But now they´ve gone too far. They´ve been caught red-handed making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air to stir up false rumors of vast ´cover-ups´ happening in the White House," Woodhouse writes.

Country singer Josh Gracin was in Washington on Thursday night to perform at the Ninth Annual Night of Heroes Gala, and as badly as he may have wanted to, he wasn’t allowed talk politics in an interview with The Hill.“I’m very political, almost to where I get in trouble with my record label not to post anything [on Facebook],” the former American Idol finalist said. Gracin’s handler quickly stepped in, nodding to the recording device in my hand and helpfully reminding him that he was on the record.

The Obama Administration fought to keep a search warrant for James Rosen’s private e-mail account secret, arguing to a federal judge that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. The new details are revealed in a court filing detailing a back and forth between the Justice Department and the federal judges who oversaw the request to search a Gmail account belonging to Rosen, a reporter for Fox News. A 2009 article Rosen had written about North Korea sparked an investigation; Ronald C. Machen, Jr., the U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting Stephen Jin-Woo Kim,

As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli said “every one of those comments has a context and were spoken in my role as a minister, not as a candidate.” In particular, the black Republican took issue with the media’s outrage over his comments on abortion.

Massachusetts Senate hopeful Gabriel Gomez is outraged at how his Democratic contender, Rep. Ed Markey, is portraying him, accusing Ed Markey of low-blow politics that cross ethical lines. “You know, I’ve got four young kids and they gotta sit there and gotta see an ad with their dad, who’s a SEAL, who served honorably, talk to anybody I served with … and for him to be as dirty and low, pond scum, to like put me up there next to bin Laden, he’s just gotta be called what he is. That simple,” said Mr. Gomez, the GOP nominee

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
