"Bill Clinton rushed to Columbia Hostpital in NY for quadruple bypass surgery."

I don't get the "rushed" part, unless this is a patient transfer...either from a doctor's office or from another hospital.

Aren't the Democrats lucky? What a perfect time to take back the spotlight. Just this past weekend Clinton was campaigning for Kerry and signing books, as the media puts it -energized and upbeat- However, 11 point-bounce for GW can be attributed to his heart problems as of late. No one in the media is talking about the convention or GW's speech, only about Clinton. By Labor Day, people won't remember what GW said.

Clinton will do just fine, and live for another 30 years, but I wonder if he could've done this before the Republican Convention, or sometime later. Knowing how he operates, I'm confident he didn't need to do this TODAY.
