Valid Questions: After Bill Clinton contradicted State Department claims about Hillary's health with news of a six-month rehab, her fitness should be as much of an issue as Sarah Palin's baby and John McCain's age.

Karl Rove has taken a lot of heat for raising the issue of age and mental condition of a secretary of state who disappeared from public view as the Benghazi controversy arose. The questions are similar to those asked about President Reagan after his first debate with Vice President Walter Mondale, and those asked about Sen. John McCain and his prisoner of war experiences. So why is Hillary Clinton being treated differently?

During the week of Dec. 9, 2012, Secretary of State Clinton is said to have fainted at home, hitting her head as she fell. Clinton was diagnosed with a concussion, the New York Times reported on Dec. 13, with a State Department official saying the concussion "was not severe."

On Dec. 15, State Department spokesman Philippe Reines released this statement on the concussion:

"While suffering from a stomach virus, Secretary Clinton became dehydrated and fainted, sustaining a concussion. She has been recovering at home and will continue to be monitored regularly by her doctors."

But really, at this point, what difference does it make?

My daughter’s then boyfriend lost an appointment to West Point due to a concussion suffered playing rugby.

It was unfortunate, but bad stuff happens sometimes.

"SHRILLary not there?"I would think; she'd be an expert by now..afterall, w/as many ashtrays/
lamps/chairs, pictures frames thrown @ W.J.B.(Bent) Klintoon.

What is all this suddenly about concussions? Are they going to tie it into gun control?

[Telepathic Intruder]

Concussion or not, she’s always seemed nuts to me. How often would she just launch into insane laughter at the drop of a pin, before people started noticing and she’s had to restrain herself since? But since liberals have no competency standards in their celebrity politicians, her mental state is apparently not important.

She's there, she just waddled off to the residence to look for old billing records.

When asked why she wasn’t at the summit she replied,”I don’t recall.”

Those old Whitewater clips would make great ads. She was already showing signs of Alzheimer's back in the 90s. Do we really want a president with such poor recall?

Nahhhh....her drinking helmet was out for repairs.

maybe she hates Drums

Hillary is opposite of Forrest Gump, every night when history is made she can’t be found.

What difference would she make?
