Confusion over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s condition already has been so great as to inspire a “Where’s Hillary?” headline on the Drudge Report. After Clinton was revealed to be under treatment for a blood clot in her head, liberals lambasted those who questioned Clinton’s concussion, despite reports from medical professionals that the two conditions were likely unrelated. Then there was that stomach virus.
Headlines today that Clinton had been discharged from the hospital would seem to clear up matters.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discharged from hospital after suffering blood clot, US media report

NBC News matching ABC News report that Secy. of State Hillary Clinton discharged from New York-area hospital.

Happy To Hear Hillary Clinton ( @hrclinton ) Has Been Discharged From The Hospital!
— Jackée Harry (@JackeeHarry) January 2, 2013
They would clarify things, aside from the fact that she might not have been discharged. Yes, she was spotted leaving the hospital with her husband and daughter, but that only seems to prove that she left the building. Whose tweet are you going to believe?
So Secretary Hillary Clinton has “left” the Hospital and the photos and video confirm that. But has she been “discharged” ?

Yes, she is turning out to be quite the woman of mystery. Who knew that one day Hillary Clinton being spotted in an SUV would cause such a paparazzi-like uproar?

Will we one day hear “definitive info” on Benghazi from the Secretary of State herself?

Secretary Clinton was discharged from the hospital this evening. Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery. She’s eager to get back to the office, and we will keep you updated on her schedule as it becomes clearer in the coming days. Both she and her family would like to express their appreciation for the excellent care she received from the doctors, nurses, and staff at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center.
Huh. Why the faux-apology? Well, keeping with its tradition of being among the lapdoggiest of lapdog media, The Washington Post pulled a doozy this afternoon, by assuming that a huge Obama gaffe was invented. With magic. As Twitchy reported, Obama finally discovered one of those missing seven states: Oiho.
Smartest man alive! Remember Dan Quayle’s spelling error? “Just bloggers” do.
Remember that time Dan Quayle spelled "Oho" wrong? What a doofus! Oh, wait, that was Barack Obama, not Dan Quayle.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) August 22, 2012
The lapdog media, however? They would have started a media frenzy were it, say, Sarah Palin. What did they do here? Immediately jump to cover for The One, like the sycophants they always are. Oh, Barack! You can’t possibly ever make a mistake! You are so unprecedented and awesome and stuff. Also, so dreamy!

Although he has since deleted this tweet.
Those who aren’t dragged down by heavy drool buckets were quick to point out how inane The Washington Post’s Obama-butt-covering claim was.
Don't think so. RT @washingtonpost: Don't be fooled. This photo of Obama is photoshopped. http://t.co/fLHCIjBL http://t.co/7v2bhseo

— Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) August 22, 2012
Even Tapper then sees that photoshopping two different photos would have required dark magic that even an evil “math witch” doesn’t have.
weird, two pics of the OHIO thing…http://t.co/ActkO5oy and http://t.co/qFbkdXKg

And, a lame correction!

— Washington Post (@washingtonpost) August 22, 2012
More from The Washington Post, from an article originally titled “Yes, Obama Can Spell Ohio” (the slug still remains with original title).
Correction: There are different photographs of Obama’s attempt to spell Ohio from a similar angle. We incorrectly stated the first one appeared photoshopped.
The title has now been changed to “Can Obama Spell Ohio?” Yet, Ms. Weiner, in her tweet, is still claiming she doesn’t know if it was photoshopped. Oh, honey. Put the water down. But, hey, what else can we expect from a media outlet that called the shooting at Family Research Council “a scuffle.“
Twitter users quickly call out the blatant media bias.

Bingo. Everything is about The One and covering for him. Remember this: Their first instinct was to immediately jump to cover for President Obama. And, once again, “just bloggers” immediately debunk.
Kudos, happy warriors!

While the authorities do their best to bring alleged cop-killer Christopher Dorner out of hiding, some people just can’t help giving him reasons to stay under wraps. Yesterday, Jesse Jackson reached out to Dorner, giving him a list of “good and credible people” who would take him in. Charlie Sheen, whom Dorner described in his manifesto as “effin awesome,” recorded a similar video message, saying, “Let’s figure out together how to end this thing” and urging Dorner to call.
Charlie Sheen has reached out to Cop Killer Chris Dorner …As if Charlie’s the 1st person I’D choose to talk someone out of a manic state.

How many would have heard sports writer Jason Whitlock’s views on guns and “gun culture” had Bob Costas not read them aloud as part of his halftime hijack of Sunday Night Football last weekend? Whitlock seized the opportunity to appear with Roland Martin and claim further that “the NRA is the new KKK,” but he passed at a turn at Bill O’Reilly’s megaphone. Whitlock put his refusal to appear on “The O’Reilly Factor” into words last Friday, and O’Reilly kicked off his show tonight Costas-style by quoting Whitlock’s follow-up column.
@howardkurtz why don’t you tweet what Whitlock said? Then let your followers decide if his comments were racial
— Kris Kinder (@kris_kinder) December 11, 2012
Kurtz didn’t tweet Whitlock’s comments, but here’s a sample.
I’m a grown-ass man and it’s 2012. I don’t have to shuffle off to the Big House when summoned. O’Reilly is not Boehner, Pelosi or Obama. He’s a TV entertainer who has spent the weeks after the election crying about the end of “white establishment” America, the end of the days when an upstanding white man felt entitled to summon whomever he wanted whenever he wanted to the Big House to dance.
I don’t dance.
Whitlock’s refusal to “dance” for O’Reilly in the big house left quite a few viewers unimpressed.
@howardkurtz and O’Reilly is right, what a disgrace and a coward
— Carlos, el puto amo (@CarlosGerboles) December 11, 2012
You left out that he, O’Reilly, is accurate. @howardkurtz
— Terry M (@NoKromHd) December 11, 2012
@howardkurtz If Whitlock’s statement weren’t racist, what were they? Acceptable? ICYMI, Howie, some black people are in fact racist.
— Blake Driver (@blake6900) December 11, 2012
@howardkurtz What did he say that that you agree with? I heard a few things. U won’t tweet those, hurts your anti-Fox agenda though.

Damn! Jason Whitlock body-slammed Bill O’Reilly with his comments. Now Billo is crying over it. Lol #FoxNews #BillOreilly
— Brian Le Mec (@Dalmatio) December 11, 2012
In his post, Whitlock said that he’d be sticking to his sports column for now, as TV news appearances don’t allow him sufficient room to make his points. “You typically sacrifice two hours of time for an eight-minute segment that accomplishes very little,” he wrote. “It’s not the deep end of the pool. There’s no room for someone like me to splash around.” Back to the kiddie pool to make waves, then?
