Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Collapses, Recovers<span class="ev_code_RED"> Damn... why can't that bitch just die?</span>
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton collapsed while giving a speech in Buffalo, New York, on Monday morning, but recovered enough to resume her day's public appearances, her office said.
The Democratic senator from New York, seen as a potential presidential hopeful, fell ill during a speech at a restaurant on the topic of Social Security. She had complained she had a stomach problem.
"She fainted after not feeling well, got medical attention and is proceeding with her planned schedule," a statement from her Washington office said.
Colleen DiPirro, president of the Chamber of Commerce of nearby Amherst, New York, said Clinton said she had been bothered on Sunday by either a stomach virus or perhaps from food poisoning but was feeling better. <span class="ev_code_RED">I wonder if it had anything to do with a

"She started to speak, but had to sit down," DiPirro said in a telephone interview about the gathering of some 125 people at the Saturn Club restaurant. Clinton was addressing a not-for-profit group supporting women running for public office.
"She came back and tried to speak again but was struggling and getting more pale. She finally said 'I cannot continue,"' said DiPirro.
About 30 Clinton staffers who joined the senator at a weekend retreat in New York state were also sickened, said press secretary Philippe Reines.
"We aren't sure if was something that we all ate or something that we all breathed," Reines said in a telephone interview.
Reines said the symptoms appeared similar to those of someone suffering from the flu or a 24-hour virus. He said he was unaware of anyone being hospitalized.
DiPirro said she was informed that Clinton, 57, went ahead as planned to give a later address at a nearby Catholic college, Canisius, on health care.
Anti-abortion protesters were expected to gather outside to demonstrate against the speech by Clinton, who in the past has supported women's right to choose.
The Catholic Charities had originally agreed to be a sponsor for the Canisius College lecture series, but dropped out when it learned Clinton would take part.
Last September Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, 58, underwent quadruple bypass surgery.
The former first lady is mentioned frequently as a possible candidate for president in 2008. The first-term senator faces re-election in 2006. <span class="ev_code_RED">Wouldn't that just be special? A fish breathed lesbian for President?</span>
