All this supposed hubbub over Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health has gotten me to recalling a time or two in recent history.<\/p>\n

Presidents — and presidential candidates — sometimes get sick.<\/p>\n

They’re human — yes? — just like the rest of us. They’re prone to physical ailments, bugs, viruses, runny noses, upset stomachs and, oh, you know.<\/p>\n

The Democratic presidential nominee got a bit woozy at a 9\/11 event the other day. She had to leave early. Why, how dare she get sick at a 9\/11 event? The nerve …<\/p>\n

B … F … D!<\/p>\n

Well, do you remember the time President George H. W. Bush puked in the lap of the Japanese prime minister while they were sitting on the floor enjoying a meal? Was there concern then that President Bush could serve as commander in chief and leader of the Free World? Umm … no!<\/p>\n

Or, how about the time President Ronald Reagan stumbled and bumbled his way through the first televised debate with Walter Mondale? There were questions raised in 1984 about the president’s fitness. How did he respond? With that classic answer to the question about his mental fitness, saying he would not “exploit for political purposes my opponent’s\u00a0 youth and inexperience.” He brought down the house — and ended the discussion.<\/p>\n

OK, so Hillary Clinton was feeling under the weather. Give her a break!<\/p>\n

This health issue is a canard. It’s an insult and an attempt to insert ye another element of innuendo into this campaign.<\/p>\n\n
