The truth about Clinton’s health

Boston Globe Op Ed piece by Scott Lehigh

This piece is being passed off on another site as fact that Hillary is in very poor health. Very very poor health. They are taking this to heart because it was written in The Boston Globe no less. Sadly they never read the article. It is very subtly or not, hilarious. It is satire.


The truth about Clinton’s health


And no less an expert than Rudy Giuliani, the man once known as “America’s primary-care physician,” has referred us all to the Internets to check up on her health.

Nor is he the only one. Just the other day, I heard that Congressman Sean Duffy, who may not be a medical expert like Dr. Giuliani, but who has served as a commentator on log-rolling and other lumberjack games, told CNN’s Brianna Keilar that you can go on the Internets and watch “all kind of video where she is having coughing attacks.”

And so it was that I found myself watching some of these videos.

They are nothing if not disturbing. In one, Clinton had quite an extended coughing jag and had to drink some water and pop a lozenge into her mouth. (Full disclosure: I’ve had some of those attacks myself, in certain seasons when the Russians make all the pollen come down the trees, so we’ll all get caught up sneezing and be distracted from the way they’re snaffling Crimea away from Ukraine and the like.)

I know, I know, Clinton’s doctor actually says she is in good health. But she hasn’t been out on the Internets the way I have, to learn from people who don’t know her and haven’t examined her and so are more objective about these things.

Here’s what I’ve learned: Clinton suffers from weird seizures, psychotic facial tics, and strange lesions on her tongue — and the question is whether it’s all caused by brain damage or narcissistic personality disorder. Or even drug abuse. Or syphilis.

So we Americans must rise as one and demand that President Obama appoint a special medical prosecutor to look into Clinton’s health. I’m talking a CAT scan, an MRI, drug and alcohol and rabies tests, the works. Especially that one where they tap your knee with a little hammer to see if your leg jerks, because if Clinton’s can’t do that, she won’t be able to kick Angela Merkel under the table if Angela drinks a little too much Riesling at one of those big meetings world leaders have and starts bragging to Mr. Putin about all the spies we have in Moscow.

It is fricking satire! Sadly some of the voting electorate believe it to be true. Why? They are to stupid to read the article

to talk about but can only disparage Hillary with made up lies, how sick can they be. I would rather have anyone right now but Trump as president.

has performed very well, can't complain and the other day I told one "What the hell are you bragging about, Trump is terrible", I got a grin back but of course they would not vote for Hillary. I will be very happy to support Hillary in her presidency also.

6. RABIES tests? Come now.

Having been Secretary of State it is almost certain she's had her rabies shots...yes, they have them for people. The guy I want to test for rabies, Neisserian infection, tertiary syphilis, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis and rectocranial inversion is the idiot who decided Trump's first foray into elective politics should be as president.

that tickle that happens when you've been talking for days.

Poor Hill she had a tickle fit today but came up with a good line - she said, every time I think about Trump I get allergic.
Took her a while and some water - but the tickle went away, speech was given and then off to the next city she went.

Yes, She has had issues with Her voice.
Ya' gotta think, with all the speaking She does in many different climates,it's no wonder there are some issues.
They should cut Her some slack & think about how they would fare if they were in Her shoes.
Perhaps a ongoing allergy problem to look into,nothing more...
You go girl,,,,give em hell.......
