Couple of interesting notes from around the horn today.
The first comes from comments made by Karl Rove.

“Thirty days in the hospital?” he asked. “And when she reappears, (at the Benghazi hearing) she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

Now, there’s one of two things about that. Either she faked that concussion, and was milking it so she’d have an easier time at the Benghazi hearing… Or, Rove is correct, here, and there is in fact a physical problem. Either way, the battleship Clinton is taking on some serious water.:

Now, unreported, was the comment from Bill Clinton… which came as a part of an accusation against Rove…

They went to all this trouble to say that she had staged what was a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over.

….oddly proving that Rove was correct.

The second from Mike McCurry.

“The work she is doing through the Clinton Foundation with her husband and her daughter she finds terrifically rewarding . . .  we all know what running for president is like. It’s kind of hanging around in Manchester, N.H., and Otumwa, Iowa, at the local Denny’s shaking hands with a lot of sometimes less-than-interesting local political people.

“So she is going to do that for the next 2½ years at the age of 65 when she could be doing all this great stuff on a global stage? I don’t know. I think that’s why she hasn’t said ‘I’m doing it.'”

Now, one can easily assume that McCurry is operating on info the rest ous haven’t got. He doesn’t come right out and say she’s got a problem, but given the way we had to parse everything coming out of the Clinton White House, its not hard to imagine an iceberg like mountain under the comments you can see. He’s clearly expressing concerns over facts the rest of us are not officially privy to.

Either way, this is going to come up again, and with some force, should she decide to try running again.

(Edit…. removing stray blockquote flags)

Two major fitness for office pointers, even before any political issues at all are brought forward. And most certainly, she is a target rich environment in the political. But do these questions completely disqualify her?
