If Campaigning With Pneumonia Is So Brave Then Why Did Hillary Try to Hide Her Condition?

I just love the spin being put forward on Hillary's pneumonia by the likes of Patton Oswalt who tweeted:


Wait, so Hillary has PNEUMONIA and she's still campaigning as hard as she is? You realize how badass that is, right?


There are many adjectives I could use to describe Hillary Clinton. Badass wouldn't be one of them.


But dishonest would be.


I mean it's not as if Hillary or her campaign was forthcoming about her condition until she collapsed in broad daylight.


Indeed, it was three weeks ago today when Hillary told Jimmy Kimmel that concerns about her health represented "a wacky strategy" on the part of Republicans.


Well, it's not looking so wacky now.


Oswalt's extolling Hillary as a badass lacks credulity now that she has cancelled her West Coast campaign stops. That aside, I would take his claims of badass or bravery far more seriously if Hillary had been upfront about her condition from the get-go. But when has Hillary been upfront about anything?
