WASHINGTON — The State Department says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who skipped an overseas trip this past week because of a stomach virus, sustained a concussion after fainting.

She’s now recovering at home and being monitored by doctors.

An aide, Philippe Reines, says Clinton will work from home next week, at the recommendation of doctors.

Congressional aides do not expect her to testify as scheduled at congressional hearings on Thursday into the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

The aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to publicly discuss Clinton’s status.

The department says Clinton was dehydrated because of the virus and that she fainted, causing the concussion. No further details were immediately available.

  1. All part of the cover-up my friends, all part of the cover-up. And as far as being the next President, the only Presidency she will hold is that of the Bill Clinton fan club!!!

  2. Well ,since Ms Clinton wont be testifying at the hearings we wont be hearing
    ” I dont recall” time after time when asked questions by the panel.
    Saves a lot of time that way.
    But that may also depend on what the meaning of ” is ” is.

    1. ” I don’t recall. I don’t recall that.”

      The words of Ronnie Reagan when he testified about Iran – Contra.

      1. President Reagan was telling the truth when he said he didn’t recall. It was the early onset of Alzheimer. R.I.P. to the greatest president the U.S has ever had.

  3. It’s not as bad as being ignored to death in Benghazi.

    Reminds me of that old Peter Gabriel Song:

    “I don’t remember, I don’t recall I got no memory of anything at all”….

  4. The press is not as vocal with Ms. Bill. Remember when “W” had a fainting spell?Print and TV editors played it up for three days. Shows concern I guess.

  5. How convenient. Just before she was to testify before Congress. I don’t believe one word of it. It is trumped up BS.

  6. She can hardly be ‘recovered’ if her injury has left her unable to testify before Congress. If anyone believed that, she’d have to be called ‘crippled’.

  7. Let me guess, when she does stand before congress to answer for the failure of her boss and herself she will have a case of amnesia from her concussion and will not be able to remember anything concerning Benghazi. I am sure she will remember where to pickup her federal pension check though.

  8. maybe she tripped over the missing rose law firm records,or a copy of futures trading for dummies.oh wait they found the law firm records on a coffee table when they didn’t matter anymore.
