Krauthammer explained in detail today why he spoke tongue-in-cheek about Hillary Clinton’s illness, suggesting she had the ‘Benghazi allergy’ before it was known she suffered a blood clot in her skull. He blames the way information was handled and when asked if he should apologize, he says there isn’t a need for one because he just explained his statements.

Charles does not need to apologize. The State Dept. and the WH have mishandled this from the beginning. Obama lied and then lied some more and the left doesn't give a damn.

Boy, are you people offensive. I think you all know Charles Krauthammer had a serious accident, and I am sure people from both sides of the don't wish him poor health. Look at the reception Mark Kirk received today, from both sides of the aisle.

What is wrong with you people? Hitlery? Stop eating lead paint chips. Half of you can't spell, can't write and probably don't think we actually landed on the moon. If this is the best the right can do, it is no wonder you will be irrelevant in 5 years.

Nobody can say, that the ones who doubt the story about Hillary’s illness are not fair or distateful. Hillary hasn’t done very much during his political flying carrer to earn any trust at all. Furthermore it was natural to be suspicious as there was plenty of time for her, even before getting the flu, to testify or make a public truthful statement regarding Benghazi, but she didn’t. And, even during the funeral for the murdered Seals and Ambassador she told the families that she will do everything to punish the guy who made the video. Wasn’t this a „miserable distateful unfair“ lie, Mrs. Kirstin Powers? Mrs. Powers has become the weather vane of journalism and she thinks to be above everything and everyone. Not even the fiscal cliff can hurt her......

I find it ridiculous that FOX has tried to force Mr. Krauthammer to apologize for something that all of us think and that the liberals are joking about behind doors. It looked to me as: you either apologize or we will fire you Mr. Krauthammer! Let’s see how often we can enjoy Charles in the future.......too bad that Baier played the game.

I'd like to hear HER apology to the families of the murdered men, and her apologies to the country for the lies used in the cover-up and the disgusting charade at the reception of the remains of the four patriots.

She should apologize for her unmitigated gall in advancing the lie about the "video" as she stood in front of the caskets of four brave men who were sacrificed for the failed agenda of the damnable progressive socialists.

The MSM, I think with Diane Sawyer, is already doing an interview with the Senate female leadership to say they believe a woman will be on the POTUS ticket in 2016. The MSM is already doing Hitlary's campaigning starting with boohoo walters

Mr. Krauthammer perfectly okay with me.. Your position is understandable, unlike that of the Present Administration, After all there has been far too many lies told to the American public.

The real sticking point is that these people actually believe that the majority of us believe their lies ! and that just ticks me off to no end. !

These Pol's and employees of the various entities that makeup our government are OUR employees, it's time to put the Truth back.

I still think that Mrs. Clinton is the biggest fraud next to Obama in Washington. Too many Lies !! So No Apology required !

Hi West Coast, just watched Part deux, another excellent piece. Hope I didn't embarrass you earlier with my comments but I meant every word and I'm more than sure what I said is the feelings of lots and lots of Scoopers.

If I may, I wanted to bring to your attention a mistake in part 2 that you may or may not be aware of, at least I think it's a mistake. At 4:08 you reference Rep Peter King (R) Calif instead of N.Y. No big deal but I thought you should know. If I stepped over a line letting you know I apologize.

Hope you had a great day my friend. Other than the continuing debacle coming out of Washington things are good on the Atlantic side.

DOH! I'll see if I can try and fix it. Thanks NY. As for your earlier comment- no, not embarrassed, just amazed. I've never been so blessed until I started making friends here. Not used to compliments still and sometimes it's overwhelming to me. I do thank you Gino- you're a precious friend and I'm honored.

It was a tiring day really- but even if one person who never knew what Benghazi was sees any of these (mistakes or not) It will be worth it.

I'm glad things are good on your side sweetNY. :-) Sweet dreams and I'll see you hopefully some time tomorrow!

I would have to be present with a physician of my choice before I would consider it a true story. And she deserves that so few do believe it when you consider her career of lies and criminality. The fact that it took so long for the "diagnosis" confirms the general ignorance of the electorate. The throwaway story of stomach virus was supposed to be good enough. When everyone didn't fall over backwards believing that, she had to add the faint. When that failed to pull us off the fence, she finally "goes to the hospital" and low and behold; a blood clot. It's just too Clintonesque for me to swallow. And, since I'm basically calling her a liar, I'll go a step further and say that if there is an iota of truth to it, I am unable to conjure an iota of sympathy.

Right! And if she fainted, why no MRI then? As SOS all medical resources are available to her. I don't believe a lick of this.

The last ones I remember are in front of the coffins, in the Rose Garden and then her stmt from Lima, Peru; funny she ran out of the country when the water was hot and the bodies not yet cold.

They claimed that Obama was born in Hawaii and that he had a legitimate birth certificate. He got away with that. So it's not a stretch to say that Hillary was faking this too and that they concocted some lame story as a cover up.

They are all full of bolshoi and have a detailed and consistent track record for continually lying. It's not a stretch to suggest yet another lie or cover-up.

Sadly, she will never testify over Benghazi... mark my words. Evil cannot tolerate the light of truth... or in Hillary's case, she doesn't want any of this on the record. And because she bit the bullet for Obama right before the last debate (stealing any thunder Romney had)... he and his accomplice, Eric Holder will be happy to oblige her. And to expect the criminal media to do their damn job and dig into any of this... is giving them too much credit.

This whole situation is a sham. Honorable Americans died for absolutely nothing.

It's all a stall until the new Congress and Oversight Committee are seated and her term runs out. I hope for once the Congress stands firm and does not vote on the Kerry confirmation until Hitlary testifies under oath, in open proceedings. And then they need to not confirm Kerry anyway.

The republicans in the Senate have not yet retracted on their stance that she testifies before Kerry is confirmed. They could waffle becasuse they are good for that but not so far.

charles is right... if it was anyone else the BREAKING NEWS would have been all over the TV , radio, internet ... to just dissapere for 2 weeks is highly suspect... the clintons love the spotlight.. there is no way she would be sick for 2 weeks without telling her public... and where is bubu.. havent seen or heard from him for awhile...

is it possible about the plane crash on its way to iran ..... maybe...

You see, that's the problem the Obama administration has now with the public. When you tell as many lies as the Obama administration has over the past year, from Fast & Furious to Benghazi, nobody can tell when you're really telling the truth. Will we ever believe that Eric Holder knew nothing about Fast & Furious? Will we ever believe that Hillary Clinton didn't know why our ambassador was in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11, why he was so ill-protected, and even though he literally begged for more security, why he was turned down? And let's not even talk about the lies regarding the attack in Benghazi being the result of the video. So when you tell this number of lies to the American people, is it any wonder when nobody believes you have a concussion or the flu (or both) that prevents you from testifying under oath about something you lied about? Hillary has nobody to blame but herself. For a person with this much naked ambition to be president, I wouldn't trust her with the keys to the men's room.

There was an article in the EU newspaper that she was injured and the Navy SEAL commander who supposedly committed suicide was killed on a secret mission to Iran.

http://www.eutimes.net/2012/12/clinton-injured-us-navy-seal-killed-in-secret-us-mission-to-iran/

Of course, this paper has a reputation similar to the National Enquirer.

HOWEVER, Sec. Clinton has fallen on two other occasions (see DRUDGE for videos) and has had a clot requiring medical attention once before.

Frequent flying increases risk of blood clots and stroke.
