That was my thought as well. I have bad knees and that’s exactly what that looked like. The trouble with the last few stairs - and even with the man’s help, her knees didn’t want to do the work to lift her up.

She is probably bruised but okay....or else we would have heard about it over and over and over.

I hurt my back. I got a letter from my Health Care Provider (A medicare HMO) about classes for old people who get hurt from falling. Apparently, there are tricks to not falling...

Some people watch straight ahead and trip...some watch their feet and walk into walls.

I was always tripping.....

I'm learning to do both...check my steps and watch out for walls....I'm tripping less...but hitting more walls...

“But seriously, I’m glad she wasn’t hurt in that fall. The older you get, the more fragile your bones.”

Yes but like Packing a fragile item for shipping one puts plenty of insulation around it in the box,now in her case that is Blubber around the bones,BTW did you Hear what she said to the Arabs about us?

There's a little bit of insensitivity going on here. Anyone reading this who's over a certain age and has fallen knows it's no fun even if it doesn't lead to a broken bone.

It shouldn't hurt Hillary's ego to have an escort, possibly a military guy, escort her up and down sometimes-treacherous airplane stairs. Or at least be stationed at the top and the bottom of the flight.

This should apply to all female officials of rank who have to fly around the world and who are getting on in years, not only Hillary. And maybe some old boys, also.

What happened to the days that a woman was proud to have an escort at her side when navigation somewhere was tricky or hazardous....instead of that feminazi shibbeloth that a steady arm to hold is a sign of feminine weakness?

That female in the background (stewardess? staff member?) who was chatting things up should have been stationed at the doorway, prepared for just such a mishap.

Years ago, I broke an ankle in a fall. I hope falls never happen to those making light of this incident especially when they're older.

Politics aside, I'm happy and relieved Mrs. Clinton wasn't injured.

Probably. However, it's important to remember how these sorts of things are viewed and portrayed in the general public. As it has been pointed out, Ford, Dole, Bush, and others have had similar incidents and it was deemed by media types to have some importance to their job performance. This is at least the second time Hillary has fallen and you likely won't hear any questions about her ability to be SoS.

In the meantime, I don't get upset by the gallows humor.

Hillary is only 63 years old..but her appearance has truly deteriorated since 2008. Her long hairstyle is not becoming and usually looks unkempt. Perhaps she misses having Uma(?), Chelsea & Bill scraping and fawning. You have to believe she hates taking orders from anyone - and that would especially include BO.

The video shows a very unsteady woman ascending steps with a death grip on the handrail. She is either exhausted, suffering vertigo or drunk.

I gave her a 4.5 out of 10. Kind of sloppy and lacked energy

Yes and ain’t it wonderful? Sorry, but you put yourself on a throne you will eventually fall off. :)

An essential part of the pack-up kit for Hellery's next trip (pun intended):

Would it be "vitriolic" of me to say that I was watched it to see a full tumble down the stairs?

Don't answer the door if two men in dark suits and wearing sunglasses are ringing the doorbell.

How about the rest of it? That is just what is used for her makeup kit.

“Probably a combination of the three. She certainly had a time waddling up the stairs.”

Lol. She was rather slow & deliberate, wasn’t she? lol
