What was Lady MacBeth doing in the Senate basement? Running away from Vince Foster’s ghost?

She can finally tell the difference, then. Or “does this pants-suit make my elbow look big?”

She better start taking her calcium supplements. She is an old lady, after all.

Being Hillary, she probably solicited gifts from “loyal” admirers.

Gotta tell ya. Yesterday I was experiencing some symptoms that made me pause. I decided I had better give my Dr. a call a have them checked out. I called at 9:30 AM and was in his office at 10:15. This morning I had and ultrasound and have already gotten my results. Everything is fine but none of this would happen under the plan our Congresscritters have in store for us.

Returned to her home in Washington?

I thought she lived in New York state.

That x-ray series came from the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research website at http://www.josr-online.com/content/figures/1749-799X-3-9-6-l.jpg, but I didn’t see any indication it was Hillary’s elbow - just an example of the type of surgery she is presumed to have had.

Correct?

Yes indeed, she would have got much more attention by staying in the Senate. I bet she is very bored at State. Her supporters have forgotten about her.

Sounds like a small stroke, or brain tumor

I certainly don't think the media (or any medical source) would release her personal X-rays, certainly not without her consent.

On the other hand, If the X-rays (or any medical records) were those of a high ranking Republican and they might be embarrassing in some way or another, then the MSM thinking might be a bit different.

So, yes, what's pictured is just an X-ray of some anonymous patient who underwent a similar procedure.

Correct. I was merely trying to demonstrate what her fracture may have looked like and how it would have been repaired. If I actually had the real xrays, that probably would have merited its own thread and most likely a visit from Federal Agents.
