| Government officials have vehemently denied claims that Hillary Clinton is undergoing extensive tests for brain cancer. The National Enquirer reported the debilitating illness was behind the Secretary of State´s recent collapse and that she was facing a barrage of medical tests to confirm the diagnosis. But a spokesman for the 65-year-old Democrat labelled the claims ´absolute nonsense´ and insisted Clinton was recovering well from the fall and subsequent concussion. ´The story... is absolute nonsense. The Secretary continues to recuperate at home,´ the spokesman told MailOnline.

Cancer needs something to attach itself to; ergo Hilary can´t have brain cancer. That said, let´s hope she really doesn´t have it. That´s something you wouldn´t wish on anyone.

If she doesn´t then she needs to drag her big butt before Congress and face the music over the deaths in Benghazi.

I wouldn´t believe anything Hillary Klintoon tells us about her supposed "collapse". Hillary is a serial liar, a disgrace and a criminal who should be in jail. She has no accountability for her poor performance as SOS. She is a POS. I think she is also a drunk. The thought of her standing next to those flag-draped coffins spouting her lies about Benghazi is enough to make you ill.

This is Clintonian spin to generate sympathy for her. But there IS something going on with her--my brother the doctor has long noted her physical deterioration and rapid aging in four years (look at pictures from 2008 and this year--a huge difference). Also look at her public presence--it´s been highly restricted for months, even before Benghazi. Could be that her handlers at State (dear ol´ Huma Abedin Weiner) know she´s deteriorating from something and are shielding her. And that ´something´ could be a whole host of things, including auto-immune disease (note the moon face, could be steroids), a mini-stroke (TIA) or carotid blockages, heart disease (way underdiagnosed in women), or the oft-discussed dependence on alcohol.

She has Benghazi Flu, a debilitating but intense short term illness that expresses itself with selective memory and a fear of being looked at by 12 Congressmen while surrounded by foam rubber apparatuses, in the presence of electronic television transmitters.
But don´t worry, the cure is a presidential race, and remember: You must never ever mention this to Her Royal Cankles. It would be racist, sexist, and whatever -ist you want to throw in there.

My point is that if she was suffering from a disease that affected her cognition and ability to carry out her duties, Clinton should have resigned immediately for the good of the country. But the Clintons don´t think that way, and that is even worse.

Rumors are that some GOP senators with partial spines are threatening to block Kerry´s confirmation until Hill tells Congress about Benghazi. But once HRC resigns, an interim SoS, possibly her Muslim Brotherhood connected aide, would be named by Obama. There is surely a deal between Obama, HRC & Susan Rice to have Rice take the fall because Rice is actually seeking presidency of Princeton.
As to Hillary´s unlikely testimony, it would require suspension of disbelief:
"Senator, I´ve never campaigned, nor will I, in the Benghazi primary, so I don´t understand why you are asking me about it. I am focused on the needs of the American people and not the presidency of Libya."

It is unprecedented that one of the top tier Cabinet Secretaries, scheduled for the most high profile Congressional testimony of her career disappears from public view for weeks, without plausible confirmed explanation. Whatever the reason, there’s something seriously wrong. It is not the behavior of a possible future presidential candidate.

# 18, Grambo - the Dems and their media determine what is acceptable behavior, so Hill can do whatever she pleases. To illustrate, a Romney asset was not having skeletons in the proverbial closet. So, Obama, CNN, CNBC and ilk tossed in the skeletons of Seamus the dog and a woman who sadly died of cancer 7 years after her husband was laid off.

Such a reported ´collapse´ should have triggered a fast hustle of her capacious rear to the nearest hospital for dozens of tests to find out the cause. Instead she went nowhere near a health care facility. I don´t buy any of this. She just doesn´t want to testify.

The list of questions for her keeps growing...now maybe she can also tell us why she again lied when HER department claimed to have ´accepted´ resignations for 4 ´senior´ people in her department...you know, the report said that ´something´ had gone wrong but nobody was responsible...what a government. Says a lot when fools keep re-electing the same crooks. I think she and Obama are competing for the most lies told. They are used to dealing with idiots and just don´t expect any questions...despicable human beings!

This might be a multiple birds with one stone situation.
Detox and rehab, definitely. her organ grinders aren´t even trying to hide this one.
Facelift and botox? Likely. Her sorry, worn-out mug looks like the north end of a southbound platypus, and even if it´s only so she can stand there nodding beside her politically-ascending pupa, the piaps simply must do something about that face. A shower and shave wouldn´t hurt either.
Did she really fall down and crack her knob? Sure, and why not? See above (detox/rehab).
The piaps is undergoing her final full-body overhaul. Whether or not it works out for her remains to be seen, but whatever happens, this will be her last hurrah; her final grasp at a bubba-and-stinky-free spotlight. I hope she fails.

National Enquirer is typically spot on. A serious unlying medical problem makes sense. Her physical appearance has deteriorated along with rapid weight gain. I´m not sure how she could stay under the radar for this long unless something is wrong.
To suppose she is having cosmetic surgery is disingenuous as a cause for her disappearance. There would be no reason to have it now...she can have it when she resigns.

I think #2 is right but there could be other explanations. She could have had a bad hangover which would account for her stomach "virus". She could have passed out and hit her head hard enough to get a concussion. Sometimes concussions cause lots of memory losses, etc. for months. She may never be the same. Wonder why her family is not at her side? For some reason the MSM is not interested. Wonder why? Something is not quite right with this story.

This is the problem with being, well, Clintonesque. The inherent willingness on their part to lie and embellish, even when the Clinton´s didn´t have to, leads those without short term memory loss to instinctively view such pronouncements as barnyard couture.
She gets out of the public eye to loose a couple of dress sizes and revamp her appearance, she gets out of the limelight with regard to Benghazi, and she´ll come back ready for her closeup.
The Obamas had her running around so much for the past four years, of course she looks bad.

Hillery is just sick of work /s/. With the mess in the State Department (mostly created by the administration, but it was there prior), its no surprise she is not testifying. Obama probably expects her to take the fall, but she´s a Clinton.
On a more serious note, hope she is OK. Have a hard time seeing her run for election. She hasn´t looked well for a while. Hope she has access to good doctors that can diagnose whatever the problem is. Wonder what is wrong with her.

WASHINGTON — President Obama went out for a round of golf Saturday afternoon, his second weekend in a row to hit the links at a course at Joint Base Andrews. The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt.

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s.

Last fall, Ginnette Powell traveled from her home in Boston´s Dorchester section to her old middle school in South Boston - a journey of just two miles, but one that covered a huge emotional distance. Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

A few years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Lindalyn Adams was escorting visitors on a bus traveling down Elm Street near Dealey Plaza. “I was pointing out the John Neely Bryan cabin and the Old Red Courthouse, and suddenly I realized the whole bus was leaning towards the right as we were going close to the Texas School Book Depository, and the women [were] pointing and saying, “Is that? Is that? Is that?’” Adams recalled during an oral history interview. She knew, of course, what “that” meant. “That” was where Kennedy had been shot.

As the final buzzer sounded, a Louisville player tossed the ball high into the air and injured Kevin Ware stood up, thrusting his arms above his head.

The Keystone XL Pipeline has emerged as a major issue in the Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election, with environmental groups committing nearly one-third of the $1.25 million in outside money already spent on campaigns. The biggest spender so far is the League of Conservation Voters, which has already spent more than $545,000 to help elect Democratic candidate and Rep. Ed Markey, who has a strong pro-environment platform. “Our field campaign is resonating with voters across Massachusetts,” said Navin Nayak, a political specialist for the group. “The people of Massachusetts want climate change champion Ed Markey representing them.”

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

"The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
