Those who claimed that Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, was faking her concussion to avoid testifying about Benghazi must feel like real tits now, as the 65 year old was admitted to a New York hospital on Sunday with a blood clot.
The New York TImes Reported that Clinton
fell and suffered a concussion while at home alone in mid-December as she recovered from a stomach virus that left her severely dehydrated. The concussion was diagnosed Dec. 13 and Clinton was forced to cancel a trip to North Africa and the Middle East that had been planned for the next week.
She was admitted to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday. The location of the blood clot is unknown.
Some conservative critics are going to be looking pretty stupid this week. When Clinton suffered the concussion she was forced to cancel a Decemeber 20th testimony before Congress about a report into the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed an Ambassador and three other Americans.
Critics claimed she had a Schabir Shaik-like illness and was just avoiding testifying. This included the New York Post who said her story “beggars belief”, while Charles Krauthammer an American Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist, said she had an “acute Benghazi allergy”. Other jokes about Diplomatic illnesses, and Benghazi flu were made to laughter by absolutely no one.
Clinton plans to to step down as America’s top diplomat in January, and is considered a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, although she has not announced plans to run.
