Why Doesn't The "World's Smartest Woman" Have Her Husband In A Better Hospital?

Because those lousy Republicans defeated her health care plan!

Well USNews rates New York- Presbyterian Hospital which I believe is Columbia-Presbyterian where Clinton is as the 7th best in the country in the category "heart and heart surgery." That is behind only Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Mass General and Brigham and Women's.

Now as an academic I think US News is seriously flawed in rating colleges. I do not know about their rating of hospitals. But it was the first ranking I ran into.

Another question might be why would the Clintons turn to a religious affiliated hospital?

So, Did you hear the audio of what Hillary said?
'He's going to be fine, blah blah, we're lucky because we HAVE SUCH GOOD HEALTHCARE, I HOPE *EVERYONE* IN THE FUTURE CAN HAVE GOOD HEALTHCARE! '

These people are f*cking shameless!!!
Is this one big joke? Is Bill's situation really that dire?

Vince Foster, Waco, Elian, Whitewater, Chinagate, Travelgate, Filegate.....yep these people will stop at nothing. Wouldn't surprise me if this was a stunt. If the guy had that great of health care, why didnt they know he needed a quadruple bypass earlier?

That is a good question, but it could be because this is a ruse to allow Bill and Hillary not to have to campaign for John Kerry as his campaign implodes.

Clinton should be at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH. It's the BEST CARDIAC HOSPITAL IN THE USA, MAYBE EVEN THE WORLD!

From experience with my husband, if you need bypass surgery time is not on your side, regardless of how many plavax and blood thinners they give him. Unless, of course he has some serious health problem otherwise that they need to stabilize him.

As for Hillary, maybe she just doesn't give a hoot! Figures it's payback time and if Kerry's health prevents him from running, then without Bill she could capitalize on the sympathy vote ala Jean Caranahan from Missouri.

Too bad Buddy passed away. It seems to me he is the only one in the Clinton family that would give the guy unconditional love, except of course, our loving God.

I'm sending him a get well card. Whether your a janitor or a President, bypass surgery is no picnic and recovery can be very physiologically brutal, especially if you've been an active guy like Clinton.

The best hospitals in the country are teaching hospitals. Look them up. Whenever there's an article on how to choose the best hospital, it always recommended to use a teaching hospital. But you do want to avoid surgery in the fall at the beginning of the school year, if possible.

Did you hear Hillary try and politicize the slickster's heart problems at her press conference on Friday??

At the very end she said, "Thank God we are lucky enough to have affordable health insurance. Not everyone in this society is able to ...."

Or something along those lines. Then she turned and waddled into the hospital. I almost puked. She can't even put her money train hubby on the operating table without turning it into a political attack on the GOP.

Per the USNews rankings, Columbia is not in the top 50 heart and heart surgery hospitals. On the other hand, given the patient in question, the choice - if it was her's - certainly does not call into question either the intelligence or ambition of the junior Senator from New York.

Well, don't look at Hillary for an answer. She needs one more good campaign out of the bent one before she puts him out to pasture with a lifetime supply of bimbos, burgers and his very own titty bar.

Why are they waiting til Monday for the surgery?
Because the chief surgeon had his holiday weekend already booked.

Because they're too anti-Semitic to go to Beth Israel?

Columbia has some of the best cardiac surgeons in the world and is among the finest hospitals anywhere.

When Kerry's Vietnam buddy, Del Sandusky, called up suicidal and in need of help, big John had some of the hired help run him over to the Veterans hospital.

Frank from Queens and John from Staten Island were asking that very same question tonight. It appears that this hospital is not famous for quality, and they would know. Beats me? This is a head scratcher.

Come to think of it, if Bill Clinton were to pass away before 2008, Hillary's chances of running for and winning the Presidency would be about nill.

First off, she would not be able to carry on in politics by herself, I don't believe, and I don't think the American public, including Democrats, would want to see an old spinster living alone in the White House.
