Shocker -- Clinton cocaine overdose won't be in his book of lies

1999 | Ruddy

[doug from upland]

Back in the mid 90s, after about a dozen calls to Dr. Houston, I was able to reach him. He confirmed what was in the Clinton Chronicles and what Ruddy was to later write in 1999.

Nose like a vacuum cleaner bump!

Like most tales that reflect poorly on Bill Clinton, the press has ignored any inquiry into this one. In 1996, however, columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell located and telephoned one of the nurses who had been on duty the night Bill Clinton was brought into the emergency room. According to Tyrrell, the nurse didn't deny the story, but said she couldn't talk about it because she could lose her job. Welcome to Arkansas.

Well, do any of us want just anyone to be able to call any medical professional and get details of our medical history?

[Old Grumpy]

Now come on. That upstanding citizen, Bill Clinton, would never do those things. It's probably just another big ol' lie, created by the mean, bad-spirited Republicans.
SARCASM here, HEAVY SARCASM.

You don't have to release yours until you run for president. That is not a violation of privacy. If you don't want to release them or release tax returns, don't run for president. That's fine.

[Judith Anne]

Didn't Clinton sign the HIPAA? I think that stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or something like that...but medical privacy is a big part of it.

Anyway, in my nursing practice, at least in my state, NO nurse can release ANY information without written permission FROM THE PATIENT.

I'm going to go look and see what that stands for, again, just to satisfy myself.

[doug from upland]

I think that is the law. Clinton should have released his medical records. I believe they would have shown both cocaine use and a social disease.

[Judith Anne]

Yep, 1996, Clinton signed it.

And that's the one with the privacy provisions. This is a big deal, frankly.

[doug from upland]

Since they have started doing such things, I don't know if another presidential candidate has refused to release his records. Clinton released some, but they were selective.

[murdoog]

That was when she told me she'd testified about seeing Bill Clinton get so high on cocaine he fell into a garbage can.

I've always been skeptical about this particular story. This sounds more like something that would happen when you are drunk than when you are on cocaine.

I'm not a Clinton defender and I wouldn't be surprised if he has done cocaine. I just wonder about this story.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Since they have started doing such things, I don't know if another presidential candidate has refused to release his records."

Well, there is the matter of J. F. Kerry and some "wounds" that led to a couple of purple hearts in Vietnam.

[bannie]

Gee, shucks, Doug.

You know billyblythe's gonna' tell us the rest of his story! This was just Volume One. In Volume Two, the other stuff'll be shared.


HA!!!!HA!!!!HA!!!!

You his ghost writer for that one, Doug?

[doug from upland]

I have talked to her about it. He was both using coke from a "one-hitter" and drinking. As I recall, he had leaned with one arm against the bar or bar rail and slipped. I'll go find the song I wrote about it.

[doug from upland]

From 6 years ago ---

ITSY BITSY SPIDER

He was caught by Rodham, the day was tough no doubt
He walked in Le Bistro just so he could chill out
He didn't enter to simply chug a beer
So they told Sharlene Wilson the governor is here

She said "Mr. Clinton, I'll do you a good deed
Here's a one-hitter, I know that's what you need"
All of a sudden a smile is on his face
He had realized at once he had come to the right place

Then he saw his brother and Roger quickly said
"It is really fun to be screwing up your head"
This scene had played out so many times before
They would get good and loaded and then call up a whore

They had filled their noses, my goodness they had fun
It's several hours before they would be done
Then he would show us that he was quite a man
When the governor leaned back and fell in the garbage can

[cajun-jack]

just a question, but aren't all goobermint employees subject to random drug screens??

Since billy jeff is receiving a stipend from the taxpayers, even though "retired" (should be re-tried) doesn't he fall into the pee in the cup category??

I'll answer my own question here...."no, of course not. He has no reason to lie and we have no reason not to believe him, even though he did lie under oath, but that was just to protect his darling wife from his only transgression and he was sooooooooo ashamed.

p.s. please don't throw rotten eggs at me....only fresh homegrown tomatos are acceptable!!! lol

[murdoog]

He was both using coke from a "one-hitter" and drinking.

OK, this makes a little more sense now.

[yooper]

Doug, you did us all proud back then, and I wish we could nail Clinton even at this late juncture, but the current times demand that we go after Kerry.

We need to keep our collective noses pointed in the right direction.

[joesnuffy]

Got as much to do with 'truth' as his whole life has...and Hillary's bio as well.......
Not even decent fiction....

Of course it will be lauded as a great work of literature....by the usual suspects (liberal gatekeepers of all thats unholy)

A genius of crass

imo

[4everontheRight]

Ok...I am going to have to expose myself for the ill informed conservative that I am but I have generally shut my brain off when anything about Bill Clinton came on so I am going to have to ask a really dumb question....What exactly are the Clinton Chronicles? Is this a book or a piece someone is working on or a collection of different stories that are just referred to as the Clinton Chronicles? Forgive me...I am embarrassed to even post this.
