I believe this is standard practice. It was even an episode on "Mary Tyler Moore"--

[DoughtyOne]

Oh man what a fertile ground for mischief. I'm not going to go there LOL.

[Semper Paratus]

They could do worse than to use "The Wretch".

[MinuteGal]

A four-word obituary would do fine for Klinton......"Gone, but not forgiven".

It's what they should do, frankly.

I've refrained from commenting thus far on Clinton's ailment, but I will note here I perceive a distinct indifference from the country at large.

5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires

[Paulus Invictus]

I would love to write it myself, but words fail me--too many negatives do not make for a good obit.

[tuckrdout]

This is a good idea since the hospital (picked by Hillary?) where clinton had the operation has the highest death rate in NY state!

[Physicist]

MSNBC almost simultaneously was preparing a video package of the former president's obituary -- just in case.

Fox News did the same thing, except every third clip was "I did not...have...sexual...relations...with that woman, Miss Lewinsky..."

</humor>

[Revenge of Sith]

I work for a network (I won't mention the name) in sports and I once saw a practice drill special report on our TV screens that the pope had died. The obituary was very complete and it even had a picture with "John Paul II 1920-2003" on top.

[njmaugbill]

All, I repeat, ALL news gathering and reporting organizations do this on a regular basis.

This is not unusual, nor something to be concerned about.

All News gathering organizations do this.

Bill's Headstone:

"Here Lies A Lying, Stealing, Cheating, Draft-Dodging, Dope-Smoking, Whore-Mongering SOB" "He Will Be Sorely Missed By The DNC"

[doug from upland]

I've written mine for him.

[BP2]

This reminds me of the tape that Ted Turner has in the CNN vault, ready to roll, at the END OF THE WORLD.

[fso301]

They would reasonable have an obituary prepared that needed updating.

[TADSLOS]

BREAKING NEWS! FNC releases Obit on MSNBC! Film at 11.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I bet a lot of alternate endings are written all of the time. Pick (a) or (b)... its getting popular in the movies, too. It enables the "news" to get out more quickly.

Its nothing new--remember the famous picture of Harry Truman smiling and holding up the paper with the headline "Dewey Beats Truman?"

[Imaverygooddriver]

I wonder if the lib stations got theirs all ready. They probably have shows all lined up "Clinton; The Messiah, Savoir of us all" ...Ehhh gad, I hope this dude don`t die. I couldn`t take weeks and weeks of the left praising this punk like he was God Almighty. "And then he saved the children and the puppies but the evil Republicans set out to destroy him with lies and fire!"

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

How long would it take to make write a valid obit for HIM: "Lying, Cowardly, Traitorous, Misogynistic, Sociopathic Ex-President Dead"

[4Liberty]

President Clinton can thank competitively priced & private - not socialized - health care for his success.
