Clinton’s brain: Fair concern about her health
New York Post ^ | May 16, 2014 | Rich Lowry

... 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?”....

Thinking back, Hillary C. sure was flapping her hands as if she had difficulty controlling her muscles as she shouted, “What difference does it make?”

On election night Hillary will thank the RNC for nominating yet another clueless GOP establishment deer-in-the-headlights big-tent moron.

Who cares if by then she can’t think her way out of a paper bag? The marionette masters will be pulling her strings and then goodbye Americans’ liberty and hello bread & circuses plus midnight arrests.

“Clinton’s Brain” - I like the concept. Can we run a pilot for a new series along those lines? Hitchcock, Rod Serling, Hunter Thompson - all sadly unavailable now . . .who we gonna get to direct it? Tarantino? Rodriguez? Stephen King for the script? - too tame in my opinion.

Her brain has been questionable long before the concussion.

Yes, of course, she is pure evil but we must give her some respect.

Why? That sounds like a losing, weak strategy.

I have every bit as much respect for her as she has for the American public. Maybe more.

President Bush did not look like that when 2 consecutive shoes were thrown at him.

Alcohol does have a major effect on the brain. Seems she has been afflicted.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Whose brain did you put in him?
Igor: Err... Abby something...
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby who?
Igor: Abby... Normal. Yes that’s it, Abby Normal!
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Are you saying that you put an abnormal brain in a 7 foot tall, 54 inch wide GORILLA?

The question that will soon be asked is whether Hillary Clinton is too old to be President—she will be 69 one month before Election Day 2016. Meanwhile, potential Republican opponents in 2016 will be at minimum eight years younger than her in 2016.
