Is The New York Times Concern-Trolling Hillary Clinton?
LatestHillary Clinton, recovering from treatment for a blood clot and released from the hospital Wednesday, is chomping at the bit to get back to the office as she restlessly works from her home in Chappaqua, New York (“I’m trying to be a compliant patient, which I’ve had to cultivate over the last three and a half weeks,” she said Thursday). However, The New York Times is hella concerned for her health. Not to say the rest of us aren’t concerned with her health, but an entire piece devoted to hand-wringing over Clinton’s “delicate” physical condition as a result of “stress” is a bit much:
Her health scare, though, has reinforced the concerns of friends and colleagues that the years of punishing work and travel have taken a heavy toll.
Remember when Dick Cheney’s five heart attacks were ascribed to how hard he works himself, the poor dear? No, you don’t, because that never happened, because he had a moderate contractile dysfunction of his left ventricle. That’s called a medical condition, which men in high office are allowed to have without coming under fire for being too dedicated to their job.
