I'm sorry the woman is sick. I wish her a full and speedy recovery. But please... don't tell me about it. This is like Facebook entries where some tells the entire world that they just threw away last year's telephone directory.

I can see why this would be a headline. As the Secretary of State, anything that interferes with her normal duties is news. She was forced to cancel an official trip to Britain and Turkey because of this. I too wish her mother the best; but unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton her job places certain necessary restrictions on her privacy.
