No ,not Hillary ! She has never lied to us before. Why would she start now ?

Good for Bolton. The burden of proof is on Hillary. Even if she should "recover" she will, of course, have lapses in memory regarding critical events. That might get her past the hearings, but should disqualify her, like Tom Eagleton and others, for the job as POTUS.

Hillary´s absence requires a "willing suspension of disbelief". Uh, haven´t we heard that somewhere before?

I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

Hey Hillary, stand up like a man. You always wanted to be one.

Well, then, Mzzzz Nuland, perhaps your can provide us with the information that you have so we can resolve this dispute? How about that?

If she eventually has to testify, claiming a ´concussion´ helps makes a case for her inevitable ´I don´t recall´. I would expect nothing less from ´the world´s smartest woman´.

Accuse her and let her deny it. Isn´t that the democrat playbook?

Where exactly was she when she fell?
Is there footage of the flop?
Seems to be there should be since there´s cameras everywhere!
Since she had such a severe ´´flop´´ she should not be able to run for any other office since her faculties are now more impaired than ever!
The swearing in of ´´Madame Flopper´s´´ replacement should be stalled till she does testify UNDER OATH!

Note how the headline uses "accused" as if this is a sinister accusation. If an (R) were the subject, the line would be: "Is X faking illness to avoid Benghazi testimony?"

She´s been faking a marriage for years.

I love this John Bolton. May he be secretary of State, and soon.

This is her sure way of avoiding perjury! Scary to tell the truth! Which one is worse - oh, forget it - get hurt and get sympathy!

perhaps she´s drying out.

Another person accuses Ms Clinton of lying.

It doesn´t take a rocket scientist to figure that fainting spell out. Bourbon or Scotch?

It wouldn´t matter if it was brown bottle flu, without exception my employers would require documentation within 24 hrs or I would be terminated.
So, tell me how , without any hospital intervention, such a diagnosis was made.

She claims to have fallen at home. Yet she wasn´t taken to the hospital. Her doctor supposedly diagnosed her.

The actress Natasha Richardson died after a mild concussion. I find it impossible to believe that a Sec. of State would not be hospitalized at least for observation. Sorry, Hillary, you are a coward.

The dog ate my testimony.

This was actually a lighthearted jab but the thin skinned left can´t take it. It´s interesting that this phrase is well known through the community though.

They also claim Hillary has varying degrees of fatigue to get her a break. She can´t go on vacation because she´s already been everywhere at taxpayers expense. Condi didn´t go anywhere without a distinct purpose. We´re paying for the state dept to fly chefs around the world as an outreach measure.Despite the spending cliff we´re at.But according to the left there´s nothing to cut in gov´t and boehner is terrible at pointing out government waste to bolster spending cuts.

they just had something on about Medicare being billed $900 for a $100 back brace. Medicare and medicaid are wasting billions on crap like this..Of course bribes get things like this approved.

The obama administration has been lying and getting away with it since 2008. Apparently they thought the American people would be stupid enough to swallow this "coincidence" as well. Sadly, at lease half of them are.

Would it be wrong of me to hope she really did fall, whack her head so hard she got a concussion and nobody bothered to get her any medical attention? I´m just wondering if that´s wrong to hope for.

God bless John Bolton. Hillary is a lying bag of wrinkled skin. She is incompetent and corrupt just like her boss. Hillary is a disgrace to the office of SoS, the same as her boss is a disgrace to the office of president. America and the rest of the civilized world are less secure because of them.

Hey, this is just PIAPS running true to form.

It is absolutely inconceivable that a Cabinet-level Secretary of State could suffer an injury as serious as a concussion without an ambulance taking her to Walter Reed, hospital admission records, doctor reports, X-rays, etc.

On the other hand, anyone can self-describe a lump on their head as a concussion. (And a mosquito bite is a wound.) Absent any medical records, that is the case here.

It has been demonstarbly proven that the State Department has consistently lied about Benghazi. So, tell me, why would anyone believe Shrillary and Nuland are suddenly truthful?

Football helmets for all cabinet members. Could the NFL help? Since they want to go to flag football possibly they could give some helmets to help out.

I´ll bet someone told her, a few weeks ago, that obama and company would lay the blame at her door. And she decided she had had enough and would not testify. After all, our congress is full of gutless people, why should she treat them any different than her master, obama, does?
Her entire career has been comprised of being the kicked dog of powerful men. And liberal women think THAT is a reason to make her potus?

The explanation is absurd. No one of any age is supposed to self diagnose a concussion. The normal thing that is done is a CAT scan to make sure no active bleeding or swelling is occurring. If they do this with young adults and teens, you can bet anything that such procedure would be done with an older woman who is much, much more likely to have a brain bleed.

The pathetic laughable lies this woman tells are historic. The fact that anyone would believe a word that comes out of her mouth is tragic.

Hilliary Clinton´s defenses against testifying are better than anything that Ambassador Stevens had at Benghazi.

Hubris, treason, and republicans lost in a selva oscura. Shouldn´t we be in the Renaissance?

They were expecting this. I noticed how, first on The Five - Beckel - and then Alan Colmes on O´Reilly both exhibited their shocked face and insulted demeanor at THEIR OWN suggestion that someone ELSE was suggesting that the Madame was faking this. Oh! The horrors!

Heck, maybe they even planned it this way.

But, if she ends up with the ´can´t recall´ memory lapse, then this ´concussion´ incident should disqualify her for ever holding the highest office in the land. She would not be able to make coherent, sound decisions with this in her medical history.

Then again, maybe THAT´s why she did not allow hospitalization ... no records to lose - uh, I mean, to produce.

Subpoena her!

The Clintons seem to find a way to squirm out of everything. Maybe Hillary should wear a helmet when walking (drinking) to try to avoid another concussion.

It´s odd isn´t it that football players have to be hit with great force to get a concussion, and racecar driver have to have a really, really terrible accident to get a concussion, but Hillary? She falls while walking, gets a concussion. Her mind gets/was pickled. She can´t recall, poor dear.

She lied saying she herself was shot at on a runway in Bosnia, and then lies that others who were in fact purposefully shot at on her watch were not targeted, merely being the victims of a protest gone bad. Is there a more obnoxious human being alive, besides her husband and current boss?

Miss Know It All has been faking competence her entire adult life. Cattle futures, Hillarycare, the vast right wing, her Muslim Brotherhood assistant Huma: Hillary is a conniving idiot. And Bill´s treated her like dirt for decades.

The irony of all this is that there is not one person working in Hillary´s State Department that is brave enough to say ANYTHING to John Bolton to his face.

Just a random thought. But what exactly has Hillary ever significantly accomplished in her career?

FTA: Fox News described the injury as a “purported concussion.”

And that´s exactly what it is, purported, until there´s medical proof to back up her claim.

what would happen if this was a conceritive?

It is so obvious that Mrs Clinton is trying to weasel out of testifying and everyone turns a blind eye to her pathetic excuse. This is what ticks me off to no end. The dems always get a pass when they out and out lie. They are never held accountable for anything they say or do. This country is like a huge dysfunctional family. The dems are the golden children and the republicans are the scapegoats and everything is their fault. Sorry about the juvenile rant, but this administration reduces me to whining from time to time.

My hope is that massive voter fraud is proven and obama´s records get released getting him thrown out of office with clinton and the rest of the thug czars.

Hearings live on CSPAN 2 right now.

J. Freakin´ Kerry now insisting that Hillary is not a faker and fraud or a malingerer or a criminal or a slacker.

......or a liar or a drunk or a.........

So is the saucy minx (thank you poster?) is recovering at home? Which home: DC or NY?

Where was Huma when she fainted? Huma always seems to be at her side for the past 15 years...

This country has suffered long enough with the ClIntons (all three) and now we´ll have the Obamas to suffer through for decades to come...

The Mayan End Times can´t come soon enough for this once great Republic..

Deny
Delay
Destroy

She´s been doing that her entire fake career.

Hillary continues to be true to the clinton model---lie first, second, and continue to lie until the media rushes to the rescue.

Do we really need a secretary of state? A lot more people would be alive and the American taxpayer would have a few more bucks, if this bimbo would take her act somewhere else.

#43- Kerry (who served in Vietnam) is reminiscing over Vietnam right now.....
has had a face lift.
He is so contemptible.

She and the rest of the Obama Administration are far more transparent than they planned to be. Not in a good way!

Just another, so trustworthy, Saul Alinsky loving progressive.

My husband said off-handedly when I was indignantly talking about this: "Swine flu." I cracked up.

Listening to Boxer now. The ´Rats are changing the narrative. It´s now all about funding for security, not getting to the bottom of what the top knew and did.

Everybody should go back and watch the body language on the day that Hillary and Obumbum announced this tragedy to the world. Hillary looked awful -- really shaken and (dare I say) guilty. This was not the usual state department announcement. Subsequent announcemnets she´d recovered her poise somewhat. But I think she knows a lot more than she´s said publically and should have been debriefed 3 months ago.

Deny. Deny. Deny.
Delay. Delay. Delay.

And, when the truth finally comes out it will be called "old news".

Just add Hillary to the list of names of democrats who abuse the medical system for political gain, to deflect and defend investigations/queries of their misdeeds and corruption: Jessie Jackson Jr;
Kerry Kennedy; John Bryson and now Hillary R Clinton. Kinda reminds of um, old Russia and their modus, doesn´t it?

To find a big player like Hillary guilty of negligent homicide etc could be the beginning of holding this whole administration responsible for their foreign policy of aiding and abetting our enemies. That is an outcome they desperately want to avoid.

Shrew her and her pathetic excuses.

Can you imagine Dean Acheson, Cyrus Vance (Democrat) or Henry Kissinger, George Schultz (Republican) acting this way. These were serious men doing a serious job. I feel like I´m living in some strange black comedy.

dont you think that as Sec.of State there would have been a big press conference..with a dr. telling us Hitlarys condition...there sure would have been...

I want to see a note from her doctor PLUS X-rays!!

Otherwise, she is a lyin´ female dog.

I remember not too long ago when a President who was a Teetotaler fainted and struck ahead. He was accused by many on the left of getting drunk and falling over. These accusations were made without any evidence at all. Now those self same leftists are all up in arms about any negative comments about Hillary´s fall. I don´t know what happened, but I have not heard one comment from the conservative side that Hillary had imbibed just a little too much Holiday Cheer before taking a face plant. But it is the conservatives who often get blamed for being uncivil.

We must not underestimate the threat to the health of our nation´s citizens posed by stomach-flu related concussions. Hillary brings high visibility to this menace to our nation.

Hillary is a complete fabrication of our corrupt media. Not quite as big a fraud as Obama but close. She has been a foreign policy disaster from which the world will never recover. Her Mid East policies have initiated a world war with Islam which will continue for years.

We really did not need that huge picture of the hag so early in the morning. Thank heavens I had not eaten breakfast. She has not aged well and should go home forever and stay there with her beloved husband. s/o

How long did Hillary delay producing her Rose Law Firm billing records? She lied about that until it was the best time to produce them. Found them just sitting on a table. Right.

Well if John Kerry says she´s telling the truth, that´s good enough for me.

She´s lying.

...I heard the REAL story is that she got her concussion when she was with her constant, platonic, aide Huma on her way to replace some little people in the White House Travel Office...and as she was dodging bullets while running from a helicopter ... she accidentally stumbled on the missing Rose Law Firm billing invoices...and was immediately hit by a flying ashtray ...(a gift from some FJB) ...conveniently placed there by the vast right wing conspiracy ... which prevented her from picking up her $100,000 check she earned from smartly investing in cattle futures she read about in the Wall Street Journal one day ... yeah ... that´s the ticket.

Perhaps zippy was afraid she would finger him and sent a couple of his bruthas over to shut her up.

Is it possible for the parents on one or all of the victims to sue Hillary (even after she´s out of office) for noncompliance and punitive damages, not to mention her vast left wing cover up. If so, go get her. I would relish watching every minute of her squirming and then losing several million in the process. If this could ever happen, it would be a miracle. This women has a load of bad karma that has her name on it. Chances are the parents have already been reached and paid off.

The Clintons are protected by Evil. This will all blow over.

Actually, this is a relapse from when she hit her fat head on the tarmac while ducking Bosnian sniper fire.

"I don´t remember..I can´t recall"!!

Routine procedure for a patient experiencing head trauma is to rule out a subdural or epidural hematoma - this would never be ignored with the Secretary of the local Rotary Club much less Secretary of State. The current administration - all of them being the smartest guys in the room - think we are stupid.

“It’s unfortunate that in times like this people make wild speculation based on no information,” she said." - Article

Well now, that is rich coming from the woman who made accusations about a "vast right-wing conspiracy."

If I fell in my home and suffered a concussion, my husband would call an ambulance. I have to wonder if Hillary Clinton was really on a drunken binge when she fell.

Yes #63 I´ll say it kindly....that picture is truly ´unfortunate´.
I agree that a diplomatic illness is probably the correct term; it is eerily similar to all those math test illnesses I suffered in school.

Bolton was being gentle. When you get stomach flu and other intestinal disorders the effects dehydrate you. Being dehydrated is not good. The cure: rehydrate. When do we learn this awesome medical/scientific fact? At around the age of 12 or earlier. If you don´t rehydrate and make yourself so dizzy that you collapse and even concuss yourself, you are either ignorant or stupid. The PIAPS is either a fool or a liar; pick one. If a republican presidential candidate concussed himself the media would scream that s/he lacked the wherewithal to be president.

Add a couple of names to the list of great Secretaries of State (who surely are rolling in their graves at the incompetence of the current occupant of that office): John Quincy Adams and William H. Seward.

If it had been John F´n Kerry, he would have put in for another purple heart. Of course the she-beast lies and obfuscates, it is what she does best.

Precisely, #72. Especially after the widely publicized Natasha Richardson death from what was thought to be a ´´mild´´ brain injury, SoSt GreasyLocks would get immediate medical care, if the concussion in fact happened.... Which it obviously did not. Who ever thought this fiction would pass the smell test???

Hillary is the squirrel. The truth is not out, and won´t be without an impeachment trial of this communist crew, followed by hanging. It´s that serious.
Lets start with testimony from the survivors, who may as well have also been killed, as they have been barried for over three months now. Bring them out! Put them under oath.
Next tell of the mission of the "consulate"; i.e., buying Gadaffi weapons, storing them at the compound, and then getting ripped off by obama´s muslim brothers. AQ didn´t need no stinkin money; and Chris Stephens had to go as he knew too much, like killing the hit man to cover up the crime. This was a hit, and the truth stares us in the face. The bigger the front, the bigger the behind. We could get free of this conspiracy if we would did deeper.
On a parallel track, we need to unseal all of Obama´s hidden records, and air out these lies about his past, and who planted this Pied Piper of communist collectivist muslim oppression in our midst.

WOW,#66: ROTFLMAO at the best account, told in the briefest way, of PIAPS´ career (I use that term loosely). You not only have an excellent memory but a delightful way of stringing these laughably pathetic events together.

You´re one of the reasons I visit L.com so often, especially when I need a good laugh. What witty posters hover here. Thanks.

Give her break guys. Her doctor has noted her concussion on her medical records. This is the same doctor who signed Obama´s Hawaiian birth certificate. Who can not accept that?

# 29 is absolutely correct.
Hillary , as Secretary of State , she absolutely would have had a CT , not to diagnoses a concussion, but , to rule out a subdural hematoma or fractured skull.
Fainting and hitting one´s head is serious business.
How long was she unconscious, did she have memory loss and confusion ?
And what kind of medical care has this woman had , anyway ?
Has " do it yourself " Obamacare already kicked in ?
We´re told days prior that she´s ill with a stomach virus and yet, she apparently wasn´t treated properly because her dehydration and electrolyte imbalance escalated
to the point where she was so ill, that she lost consciousness and suffered a head injury.
Her fuzzy memory when she testifies will be blamed
on the alleged concussion.

How do you fake alcoholism?

If she were any kind of leader, she would have stepped up to the plate in September. She wants to be president but can´t take the responsibility. We don´t need anthor phony in the White House.

Hi folks. I went hunting this morning, and almost saw a rabbit. End of story.

What´s to fret? Like everything else in her life she can´t remember a thing.

Hillary is a liar and an incompetent in everything she does. Her recent illness is due to the fact that her Benghazi lies are too big and too embarassing to cover up like she covered up the Billy/Monica affair.
Hillary should retire, bake cookies and keep an eye on Bill before he exposes himself to a younger Paula Jones.

Can´t remember, Can´t recall.= White Water.

Would that be a good reply, did you rob the bank.

A Klintoon faking it? No. It just cannot be.

I guess herself had to make the choice of lying about her fall or lying about how four US citizens were killed under her watch. Such a deal.

a clinton lying to us...you have got to be kidding. this story will go round and round and then she will run for office and the public will be very familiar with her name but not be able to remmember what it was that was said about her. we are in an era of evil.

I haven´t done public relations in a while, but here is some advice for Chelsea and Mr. Bill. Stand by your Hillary!!!

I know you´re busy with holiday parties, so I´ll draft a statement for you: "We are concerned and cautiously optimistic about Hillary´s concussion, which is very troubling and disheartening to us. Please keep her in your thoughts and give our family the time and space we need as we support her in this difficult time."

Release to media and carry on with your holiday festivities, but, uh, up to now, you look uncaring and disengaged.

Liberal doctors in Wisconsin are ready/willing/able to write excuses of illness. Might try one of them. I bet they have a price to be paid though!

Hillary is getting herself in deeper each day. She is just hoping the media lets her alone and we, the people, have amnesia!

Best line of this whole debacle:
"The immaculate concussion"
