Clinton’s brain: Fair concern about her health

... A report in the New York Post’s Page Six that Karl Rove told a conference last week that Hillary Clinton might be brain-damaged after a 30-day hospital stay during her illness at the end of 2012 caused a volcanic eruption of denunciation aimed at the Republican strategist.

Rove was accused, among other things, of dealing the age card from the bottom of the deck.

Rove denies saying “brain damage,” and the Page Six report didn’t put quote marks around that phrase....

The clot, according to The Washington Post, “can cause permanent brain damage, coma or death if not detected and treated in time.”

News accounts say it was caught early, and Clinton is performing as ably as ever. But politicians have a long history of lying through their teeth about their health — see Woodrow Wilson, John F. Kennedy and Paul Tsongas, for example.

So Clinton will have to provide a full accounting of the 2012 incident and her overall health....

The Bill Clinton re-election campaign in 1996 feasted on contrasts between the new and old in its lopsided bout with the septuagenarian Bob Dole.

The age issue was so upfront that Time magazine ran a cover asking, “Is Dole Too Old for the Job?” and The New York Times ran a thumb-sucker wondering, “Is Age-Bashing Any Way to Beat Bob Dole?”....

Back to "Rove you magnificent bastard"? Consider:

Rove's exact words were -

“Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

... and those three sentences have caused sheer panic in the Hillary Bunker - first Bill goes out to deny them, now it's Bloomberg coming to her defense.

Her team is obviously rattled. Well done, Karl.

Forget about it. Doctors have examined Hillary Clinton’s brain, and found nothing!

Wasn’t there a movie called “Clinton’s Brain”? If there wasn’t, there should have been.

How can she be brain damaged? Don’t you need a brain first?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Gee, why would he think it was a brain injury? She hasn't been acting odd lately.

The Democrats have nobody else to run in 2016. They are screwed, seems they put all their eggs in one basket-case...

The spectacle of clintonoids immediately going ballistic against Rove has suggested from the start that the 'rats are scared. It is well known that a brain injury such as a stroke frequently results in photosensitivity--exaggerated sensitivity to glare such that subdued lighting is the rule, and sun glasses out of doors or even under bright indoor lights would be necessary.

She’s been hurting way before any concussion.

I believe there were a couple more fainting incidents. IIRC, all were attributed to the flu.

The official name for what Clinton has is “Cerebral Venous Thrombosis”.....Clinton has a history of blood clots.

That's now ... but for a while there, she was wearing these -

But, of course, Reagan's age and ability could be questioned to the Nth degree from our "unbiased" news media....
