Dems split on Hillary health questions

Democrats are divided when it comes to Hillary Clinton's health. Some are circling the wagons, insisting that even the most modest questions about her weekend medical episode are sexist and reactionary. Others are arguing it is the latest sign the Clinton campaign needs to be more transparent.

In the latter camp is David Axelrod, who previously went toe to toe with the Clinton machine while running Barack Obama's presidential campaign during the 2008 Democratic primaries.

"Antibiotics can take care of pneumonia," he tweeted. "What's the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?"

That is as much a criticism of Clinton's private email server as it is her handling of health questions. But the former Obama adviser has said, "The issue isn't health, it's stealth."

Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton's communications director, pushed back by claiming the "public knows more about HRC than any nominee in history." But Palmieri did concede Monday "We could have done better yesterday."

A "Clinton ally" was quoted by the Hill as describing the weekend's incident "a self-inflicted f—king nightmare." Another complained, "Why couldn't the campaign have just been aboveboard about this? She got sick. Tell people she's sick and move on. I know they thought it would give the right-wingers something to pounce on, but who cares?"

Clinton's high-profile fainting episode and brief subsequent disappearance from the public eye has instead taken what was onceregarded as a fringe concern mainstream. The fashionably liberal New Yorker's Sept. 12 cartoon compared her to a 1989 film in which the main characters try to conceal their boss' death by making his corpse seem lifelike.

"People wanted her to act more like Bernie," reads the caption, "but I don't think they meant the one from 'Weekend at Bernie's.'"

Clinton's 'deplorables' gaffe spawns line of merchandise


Supporters of Donald Trump can now purchase T-shirts, jewelry and drinkware emblazoned with the "deplorable" label Hillary Clinton applied to half of Trump's voters at a fundraiser Friday.

Although the Democratic nominee quickly expressed regret for claiming half of all Trump supporters fit into a "basket of deplorables" comprised of racists, sexists, homophobics, xenophobics and Islamaphobics, Republicans have hammered her over the remark.

But some Trump fans are making light of the attack, selling and purchasing T-shirts that say, "Deplorable Lives Matter" and "I'm a Deplorable, and I Vote," among other plays on the gaffe.
