Hillary Clinton Collapses
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton fainted Monday after complaining of a stomach virus before a scheduled speech on Social Security. She received medical attention at the scene and then went on to give another speech at a Catholic college Monday afternoon.
"It wasn't as dramatic as it sounds," Clinton said after the 30-minute speech.
Clinton aides said doctors believed she had a stomach virus. They said she felt weak at the private club where she was to speak, needed to sit down, and then fainted briefly.
Clinton, 57, was smiling when she walked out of the club, the general manager said.
I'm glad to hear she's ok and hope that there is nothing more serious than "stomach ailments" wrong with her.
And for those of you on the right who would make light of this situation, shame on you. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior. As wrong as we may believe Sen. Clinton to be in her politics, she is still an American and a human. Certainly not someone to have ill wished upon her.
