Not sure what you're reading or watching but Rove has been skewered for his accusations.

That was just for comparison - maybe we get different results in the UK. Its not a subject I'd have even dreamed of searching unless you'd mentioned it.

wondered if that wasn't supposed to be the takeaway. They planted the seed that Hillary was in the hospital for 30 days. I was surprised at the number of reporters who repeated the 30 day number.
The second purpose for this may be to get Hillary back out in the public. Her poll numbers are high and the best thing she can do right now is lay low. The repubs know this and they may have done this with the primary or secondary purpose of getting her to comment publicly. Her poll numbers have gone down since this story started btw.
