It takes a village: Hillary Clinton layers a scarf, shawl and custom kurta with extra-long sleeve to hide broken wrist after hotel tub fall while touring Jaipur
Daily Mail/UK, Mar 16, 2018
Two days after a nasty fall in a hotel bathtub left Hillary Clinton with a broken wrist, the former Secretary of State was spotted making the best of a bad situation while continuing her tour of India.
Hillary was seen in Jaipur on Thursday where she appeared to be adopting an out-of-sight and out-of-mind approach to her recent injury by wearing a kurta that had been customized to make one sleeve longer than other. To achieve this, the loose and flowing top was wrapped tightly around Hillary's torso, transforming the once comfortable piece into a more constricting look complete with an empire-waist.
That allowed Hillary enough extra fabric to cover her wrist with both her top and the shawl she wore while spending her day touring historic monuments alongside gal pal Huma Abedin .

What in the Sam Hill is that?!?

Hillary's torso, transforming the once comfortable piece into a more constricting look complete with an empire-waist.
A vast empire, rivaling the Mongols, at their peak. Is it the angle of the photo, or does it look like her right foot is also injured and wrapped?

Are tourists to India required to dress like a bag of rags? Not that I plan a visit, but it might be good to know.
-
At least she still has her track suit on underneath so no chance of wardrobe malfunction. I'm looking forward to her next visit to Africa - I'm sure the 0bamas will have even more valuable fashion tips for her...
-
Bad news for Hillary. It appears she hurt her ashtray throwing hand. Unless, of course, she's been practicing with her left hand.
-

There’s speculation she always wears long, loose fitting pants to conceal her catheter leg bag.

I remember that speculation from the 2016 campaign. Good itmes! :silly:

I don't understand why she feels the need to conceal her injury...

I don't understand why she feels the need to conceal her injury...
Because she has had one too many to keep denying she's ill or drunk??
-
Weird. I'm not sure what purpose hiding it serves. It would make more sense to strap it up in a sling.

They had to remove the artificial skin to work on it. She doesn't want anyone to see her cyborg hand.

if it takes a village....
that makes Hillary the head idiot. No, I didn't capitalize the title, since it is purely symbolic, not honorary. :laugh:

I figured it got hurt lost inside of Huma.

@mountaineer
A bagbitch in a bag.

It takes a village - and by the looks of that dress thing, the entire village could hide under Hillary's skirt.

@mystery-ak
She obviously feels like it takes away from her overall "hotness".
Which says a lot about her judgement.
Chances are she also thinks showing an injury would make her look weak,and harm her chances of being elected President in 2020.

It's the old bag in old rags couture.....the new "in look" when you're touring S-hole countries, dontcha know. After all.... can't go to India .... with a poverty rate of (supposedly only) 22%.... looking like the filthy rich (via ill gotten gains/profits) beotch that she really is!
Despite "making remarkable progress," a poverty rate of 22 percent in a nation with more than 1.3 billion people means more than a couple hundred million people are suffering.

So, it really takes a tentmaker?

Ok,here's a new theory.
Maybe she was sitting in the tub,enjoying the companionship of her "portable battery-powered personal device that also plugs into a 110 volt wall circuit",decided she needed a little more action,and somehow plugged it into a 220 volt wall circuit? Couldn't THAT have possibly caused her to throw a arm out to "Praise Jesus" with enough vigor that it damaged both her hand and the tub?
For your own mental and emotional safety,please do NOT try to develop a mind picture of this happening.

Forget it. It's just another Hillary cover-up.

Or maybe Huma's Blackberry let out with an Amber alert squawk at a critical moment?
-
I don't understand why she feels the need to conceal her injury...
Gods don't bleed. Since she considers herself to be a God...she cannot be injured.
I don't even believe that the story is true. She didn't hurt herself.
I think she was too drunk to make the meeting. That's my opinion.
Speaking as a person who has some experience with alcohol, my opinion is that she is drunk most of the time.
-
What in the Sam Hill is that?!?
Awful is what that is. She could have covered herself with a bed spread and looked better. Wait...

I had a choice to go the Christian wedding or the Indian wedding or both. My Godson is getting married.
Indian weddings are so much fun! The bride always wears red. The guests can outdo the bride in their attire. Bangles, long earrings, just time to play dress up. Love it! I can't wait! Might even get my hands painted with henna. Wheeeee!

I have been shopping and re-shopping all this time. They have a BOGO going on for a few days. I cannot resist "buy one get one free" sales. In and out of the virtual cart. LOL! You load it and unload it. So silly. I have 22 hours to decide. It tells me that some people are looking at the stuff in my cart. Leave my cart alone!

Hillary Clinton's Leisurely Caftan Is About to Be Your New Go-To Vacation Dress
MSN News, Mar 16, 2918, PopSugar
On a personal trip to India, Hillary Clinton seemed to stick to an easy, breezy dress code. The former presidential candidate decorated linen separates with gorgeous jewelry, including one long pendant and a ribbon-clad sun hat. Hillary worked loose cropped pants and chunky slides as the foundation to her look, and she flaunted two vibrantly printed caftans that made her stand out in the crowd.
With temperatures in the high 90s, it makes sense that Hillary chose lightweight pieces, but we love that she kept things modest and chic. Any passersby might have given her a nod - she's clearly got a fashion eye - but Hillary's outfit would be appropriate for a long list of activities, starting with sightseeing. Ahead, read on to get inspired by the political icon's vacation style, then shop similar designs for your own getaway. Whoever you are, no matter your age, we promise this statement fits the bill.

Re India's poverty, in Uttar Pradesh there's a huge scandal about encephalitis deaths in the ONLY public hospital for 60 MILLION people. I can't even imagine.

Don't you think that's a little harsh? I suspect her book is as popular in India as it is in most of the southern US states.

Hey, you're underestimating the international appeal of her book. I'm sure there are tables in India with a short leg that needs propping, too...

Hillary Clinton’s India Trip Cost Taxpayers More than $22k
Gov't spends thousands for security on Clinton's accident-prone trip through India
BY: Brent Scher
March 19, 2018 5:00 am
Hillary Clinton's private passage to India is costing American taxpayers at least $22,000, according to publicly disclosed federal contract information. ...
Clinton is in India as a private citizen. But as a former First Lady she is given U.S. Secret Service protection for life, and the State Department awarded two contracts worth $16,143 and $6,301 for her security detail's travel and lodging on the trip.
It is unclear whether the two contracts account for all of the government spending related to Clinton's India trip. Two other contracts, one worth $21,093 and another worth $23,690, were awarded by the American Consulate in Mumbai for March hotel reservations for Secret Service agents in Mumbai and Maheshwar, another town Clinton visited on her trip. ...

It really DOES take a village - of U.S. taxpayers.Free Beacon (http://freebeacon.com/issues/hillary-clintons-india-trip-cost-taxpayers-22k/)
The contract was awarded by the U.S. embassy in New Delhi, which operates under the State Department's Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.
Well, I am sure she is fully aware of what she is entitled to monetarily securitywise. Seems to me, though, that she could use funds from her Foundation rather than burdening the American people on her business trips to bad mouth us during her book tour.
She is beyond my comprehension. I am glad she could afford (or did we pay for this, too?) to bring her little gal pal Huma with her.

Not far from the truth. It was speculated, and I'm inclined to believe it, that black van she rode around in during the Presidential campaign in '16 was outfitted as an ambulance. It was a pretty odd shape for just a van.

Nothing remarkable about that. All recognized presidential candidates are followed around by full emergency medical teams and ambulances.
Chances are she still is,and she still isn't paying for it.
Although I have no doubt that Bubba would be more than happy to reach into his own pocket to pay for a trip to another solar system for her if he could get all the banking codes first.
