[Bill] Clinton to have quadruple bypass surgery

WABC-NY Radio | 9/3/04

Ignore the media like it is ignoring the facts - or, as a former Democrat, I may say "shove it."

Now I know this is a far reach, but what if he saw the light, and two weeks before the election he decided to call a Press Conference and do a Jimmy Swaggard act and confesses all.


Hillary et al is arrested, charged with treason, conspiracy to overthow the government and all is right with America.

"Freepers sure are nice. I was expecting to see at least 10 Big Mac posts by now."

I wish him the best and hope his surgery is sucessfull and he has a painless recovery.

I have to admit the Big Mac thought was the first thing that popped into my mind. I mean, it's no secret that he is/was a fast food junkie. I expect his first public comment will be some self dpreciating humor regarding his affection for the Big Mac.

I didn't watch much of Wellstone's funeral,
it was too offensive to hear such disgusting
behavoir at a "funeral."

The report on Fox.com said that Hitlery was no where to be found!

I can't resist.... looks like Zell Miller gave Clinton a heart attack.

Give 'em Hell Zell!

hmmmmm....is it an attempt to slow the bump that Bush would get out of the convention....could they have paid the doctors to go along......why is it that they knew about this yesterday...but Hillary still took off on the campaign run.....Did the DNC plan this????


I doubt it. But since Hillary still went on a speaking/campaign run....it shows me that Hillary is a heartless b!tch. She knew about this yesterday...she should have canceled her little tour.

"The timing is unusual, good or bad. But why is it so suspicious ? ? ? "

Why? I can't believe you'd ask "why"? Obviously Clinton wants his state funeral to detract from the $45 Million of campaign commercials that Kerry just paid for and that are to be run this month.

The Clintons must defeat Kerry in order to prove that Viet Nam war heroes can't beat candidates who didn't serve in Viet Nam. (Hillary was AWOL)

[Babsig]

I am not sure if anyone has posted this yet, because I have not read this whole thread but here is my analysis:

1. This is bad for Kerry because he cannot get headlines attacking the GOP convention. It will be all Clinton all weekend.
2. This will be bad for Bush if God forbid Clinton dies. Why? Because a state funeral for a Democrat Pres will be free Democratic press for a week or more, taking the air out of the GOP bump after the convention. Kerry will be all over the media taking advantage of a tragedy. He will get the sympathy bump vote.
3. If Clinton were to die, would this be an in for Hillary to save the falling party's nomination and take over the nomination on sympathy? The media would be in a loving frenzy over a widow "saving the country" for her dead husband.

My prayer is that Clinton has successful surgery, recovers, and perhaps not only has a "new" heart, but a change of heart. May God change his life.

He has the Secret Service to protect him, if Juanita Broaddrick or Kathleen Willey pay a visit -- they had noone protecting them.

Ahhh...I see.

I expect his first public comment will be some self dpreciating humor regarding his affection for the Big Mac.

he and Bush are alike in that respect - they both can good-naturedly poke fun at themselves. Neither Kerry nor Gore can muster up the nerve to ever do that... In fact, that may be just about the only thing I admire about Bill...

[mabelkitty]

Unreal.
She just had a presser from a fund raiser talking about Bill Clinton and his tests, and how she can't go to the fair but that they would understand.

Unlike most rich folks who have offices or library spokespeople who release news when appropriate, they announce tests.

Guess Cheney's heart is no longer a talking point for VLC - his is alot healthier than BJ's.

Get a grip, man.

That a person is born in America does not automatically deem them worthy of anything. Only in your mind does it. In reality you need to get a grip. Or don't It's your problem, not mine.

You are showing the level of respect that Michael Moore does, and it reflects badly on you and everyone in this forum.

You're wrong. Correct your error. However, if you're ignorant enough to think you can back up your claim do ahead and quote me. Here, I'll help with my last post to you...

ThreeYearLurker: You still need to respect the man for the office he held.  187

Zon: Get off your moral high horse. You sound a fool telling me what I must do. 458

ThreeYearLurker: He is an American after all. 187

Zon: Charles Manson is an American. As was Jeffery Dahlmer. I suggest you rethink your argument that somehow because a person is an American it makes a valid argument. It doesn't. At best it's lazy thinking. 458

That said, Bill Clinton is more valuable living in good health than he would be sickly or worse. In the big picture, he's still an asset. An asset to undermining dishonesty.  458

The pendulum has swung the other direction, toward honest. Honesty outlives the lies, deceptions and irrationalities. It always has and always will. Democrats, the left and liberals are but the first in its path on its way to bowl over Republicans, the right and conservatives. Then all politics and religions. 458

NOTE: Apparently you have a problem with honesty when it exposes your errors.
