Hillary’s Brain; Hillary’s Brain on Drudge

Hey! Hillary’s brain is off-limits! Leave her health records alone! Democrats are right – scouring records of a female candidate is just politics of personal destruction, and for the media to engage in it would be unfair, unethical, and absolutely UNPRECEDENTED. You can’t probe a woman like that because, well, it’s a war on women!
Bunch of sexist, big meanies engaging in something heretofore unheard of, for shame.
America, you deserve fair and consistent coverage of relevant issues before deciding a Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket, so have faith the agenda-less media will refuse to push whispers and wildly inaccurate information about a partisan politician’s body part. Goodness, no one credible would print lies, continually harass a candidate’s doctor, disrupt local hospital staff, or even offer to pay locals to give “quotes” about her health records to be included in a “research book” by a public university professor (your tax dollars at work?) which the candidate’s attorney will need to respond to.

Thank goodness liberals are consistent in refusing to apply double standards, thanks to their disdain for hypocrisy – so they’ll come through once again! Rest assured these self-designated protectors of what they obviously believe is the “weaker sex” needing protection in the political arena will elevate political discourse. Apparently, Democrats demand their next chosen one’s brain must be absent. Opposition – go there exploring a liberal’s brain and you find nothing; or, find something and you’re just trying to distract voters from the REAL issues.
See, the country’s just swell under the Obama regime (which includes any cabinet member who’d lie and prove ineptitude by shining the boot that’s now on America’s neck). With enormous issues to debate before choosing a Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket, have confidence no mean-spirited salaciousness will be pushed by “real journalists.”

Nope. This just doesn’t happen at this respectable level of American politics.
Just ask me. And Trig.

Republicans Defend Questioning Hillary Clinton’s Health

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s health has been questioned by top Republican officials.Reuters

Top Republican officials on Sunday defended raising questions about Hillary Clinton’s health and age as she weighs a presidential bid in 2016.
“Health and age is fair game,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on NBC. “I’m not a doctor. What I do know is that the issue is going to come up as it does for any person running for president.”
Added former Vice President Dick Cheney, who appeared on Fox: “Any presidential candidate or vice presidential candidate is going to have to answer questions about their health.”

The comments come after longtime GOP political operative Karl Rove, a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal editorial pages, referenced a health scare Mrs. Clinton, a Democrat, suffered in December 2012. She became dehydrated, fainted and sustained a concussion, according to statements from her doctors and the State Department. Doctors later found and treated a blood clot between her brain and skull. Mr. Rove said at an event earlier this month that she suffered a “traumatic brain injury” and should disclose more details about it, The Wall Street Journal reported last week.
Mrs Clinton hasn’t yet announced whether she will run. Her spokesman previously said Mr. Rove was “flat out lying” in his remarks about her health and said the remarks amounted to a “desperate” attack. “They are scared of what she has achieved and what she has to offer,” the spokesman said.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.), appearing later on NBC, said Mr. Rove was struggling to be relevant and that his raising concerns about Mrs. Clinton was a cheap political shot.
Mr. Rove also said Mrs. Clinton would be 69 on election day in 2016. Appearing on Fox on Sunday, he said his remarks were about the considerations she would be weighing in deciding whether to run for president. If elected, she’d be the second-oldest person to be sworn in behind Ronald Reagan.
