    Default Hillary Clinton faints, suffers concussion

    The 65-year-old Clinton, who's expected to leave her job soon after serving as America's top diplomat during President Barack Obama's first term, is recovering at home after the incident last week and is being monitored by doctors, according to a statement by aide Philippe Reines.

    Did she try to walk through the wrong door after making a statement, or vomit at a state dinner?

    Maybe she's worried about the Benghazi hearings she is scheduled for this week.

    Or, maybe, just throwing this out there, she has a horrific schedule, travels to more countries in two weeks than most of will travel in our entire live's, is exhausted, is human and gets ill, and, honestly, may very well need to retire from it all.

    I hope that she's feeling better soon.

    Have you seen the Secretary of State Boeing 757 flying luxury coach she travels on? Or the limousine that picks her at her front door and takes her to waiting luxury coach avoiding having to stand in long lines or going through customs? We think of her travels the way we have to travel which is far more stressful. And when she arrives in the country of destination the pampering continues. And all this done with an entourage anyone would die for. What am I missing?

    Get well soon, Madame Secretary.

    She sure seems to have aged tremendously in last year or so.

    Yes. A very nice big comfortable plane that helps to greatly reduce the stress that comes from traveling.

    She got it from doing her duty, Bush got it from trying to eat a pretzel unaided.

    Well said, and I hope that she is feeling better soon, also.

    I posted the website of the SOS, and I doubt that most could have kept up with her travels. I read that on the plane her private space is hardly luxurious, the room is so small it can only allow for a small table and sofa/daybed.

    You know I made my comment about the Benghazi hearings before the news came confirming my suspicions. So 3 little soldiers involved with Benghazi have somehow been marginalized. This is in no way a coincidence.

    The kicker is ALL of them were of far better character than the garbage inhabiting the WH. :shrug:

    I'm sure it's very stressful hiding dirty little secrets from the Americans and wondering when she will get caught in a cover up.

    Guessing you haven't done a lot of international travel. It is enervating, first class, private company plane--doesn't matter, your body justs knows you're not sleeping when you're supposed to. Never took an overseas trip, especially to the far east, where I didn't lose weight despite a lot of eating out. I get tired just thinking about it.

    Your guess would be wrong. Lived in Japan, Germany and Korea. I lived in Korea twice. And flew for a living on long range search and rescue aircraft. Sitting up and trying to sleep in a cramped seat is far different than laying down in private quarters. And hydration is extremely important along with getting up and walking around often. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed traveling in the military. Always kept a bag backed just in case I got "the" call.
