Hillary's Takes A Fall
Creators Syndicate ^ | December 20, 2012 | R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.

Washington — Think back. Have we not experienced all this before, say in the 1990s?

Since October, we have known the defense measures at our Benghazi diplomatic installation were inadequate. Then there was the controversy over whether the assault on our diplomatic compound was caused by a peaceful demonstration that went haywire. It turned out there was no peaceful demonstration, contrary to the State Department's early account. But that was lost in the next controversy over security at the installation. Officials from State appeared before Congress. Some testified there was sufficient security. Some said there was not sufficient security. Some State Department officials contradicted themselves. Ultimately the entire question was wrapped in chaos as still other questions became incomprehensible. Let us move on.

We have experienced this chaos before. Think back to the late Vince Foster. Think about the chaos of Whitewater. Think about, for that matter, the whole Clinton Administration, including their harum-scarum departure from the White House.

What do all these chaotic incidents have in common? They have the Clintons, of course, the most chaotic married couple in recent American history. Now Hillary Rodham Clinton, the secretary of state, is not going to testify before Congress — more chaos. At first she was, and she took "full responsibility" for the Benghazi tragedy. No, make that the Benghazi chaos. Then she was not. She had to travel. No, then she got sick and would neither travel nor testify. No wait a second! Things get worse. She fell at her home owing to dehydration and suffered a concussion, and she absolutely will not travel nor testify nor go to the hospital. It is that serious, and she probably will not be watching the NFL on Sunday. Just to be sure.

Why not simply schedule the hearings for the first of the year? The Repubs can’t win this one by accusing her of faking it. They need to insist on a rescheduling of her testimony.

How Long Does it Take to Recover from A Concussion?

To understand the healing time of concussion, it is important to understand the different severity levels of the condition.

Grade 1 severity: Grade 1 concussion is the mildest of all. Its symptoms may include:

Confusion
Brief memory loss
No unconsciousness
Dizziness that may last for 15 to 30 minutes

Recovery time:
15-20 minutes
.

Grade 2 severity: This is a stronger version of grade 1. Symptoms are the same as grade 1, but may last for anywhere between 30 minutes and 24 hours, depending on factors such as age and previous head injuries.

Recovery time:
1-2 weeks
.

Grade 3 severity: A grade 3 concussion involves unconsciousness for up to 5 minutes. Amnesia can last from a few hours to an entire day or even longer in extreme cases. Grade 3 requires immediate attention and treatment as it can cause mild to severe brain damage and brief comas.

Recovery time:
1-6 months
.

Thanks for your post.

If the facts are correct in this article that she did not go to a hospital and that she planned to be back to work after a week it would seem to me to be a very minor concussion.

If her testimony was rescheduled shortly after the first of the year I would think she could attend being she'll be back to work anyway.

I suppose I'm skeptical this really happened but it's possible, it sure seems convenient for her if it did.

“If her testimony was rescheduled shortly after the first of the year I would think she could attend being she’ll be back to work anyway.”

That’s a good idea. May be if we keep rescheduling her
testimony she might eventually beat herself to death.
