Hillary Clinton's Illness Prompts Conspiracy Theories

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, perhaps the most famous current female political figure, has fallen ill. “In the course of a follow-up exam today, Secretary Clinton’s doctors discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she sustained several weeks ago. She is being treated with anti-coagulants and is at New York-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours,” a spokesman for the former first lady said yesterday in a statement.

Clinton’s illness, and the fact that she has not been seen in public in the last three weeks, has prompted a slew of wild conspiracy theories.
