Bill Clinton vouches for Hillary’s health after Rove remarks on possible brain injury

WASHINGTON – Former President Bill Clinton is vouching for his wife Hillary’s health after recent speculation by Republican strategist Karl Rove that she may have suffered a brain injury last year.

When asked at a Washington conference about Rove’s remarks Clinton said that “she’s still quicker than I am.”

Rove observed last week that Clinton left a hospital last year “wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury. We need to know what’s up with that.”

Bill Clinton said that “she’s in better shape than I am.”

The former secretary of state is leading in the polls for the Democratic nomination to succeed President Barack Obama. She has not yet announced whether she will run.
