MALE, Maldives (AP) -
Former President Clinton has canceled his trip to tsunami-hit areas of Maldives because of exhaustion, a U.N. official said Saturday.
Cherie Hart, spokesman for the U.N. Development Program and coordinator of Clinton's visit, said the former president, who underwent a heart bypass operation in September, was not sick.
"He's plain pooped and he wants to slow the schedule down," Hart said.
Clinton, who recently was appointed U.N. special envoy for tsunami recovery, will keep his scheduled appointments in the Maldives, but will not tour areas devastated by December's giant wave.
Must be some kind of good woman with him to keep him away from the limelight.
They already have one major disaster to cope with.
I wish him a long life. In fact, I hope he lives one day longer than I do so that I don't have to suffer his funeral.
He must be needed stateside. Something tells me something big is about to happen vis-a-vis the D party, and Hillary wants him around to assist in the matter.
Regards, Ivan
I do wish him well.
Perhaps he should adjust to a less demanding and more sedate lifestyle at least for awhile.
That's one of the endearing qualities of this forum.
I'd better start checking the party-supply stores before they get cleaned out.
His purpose has been served. Hillary has been feeding him antifreeze.
al-Q'aeti Q'uric will be wearing black for a year.
My thought is he already milked the situation for every once of attention he could possibly get. He's done with it, time to move on.
I heard an interview with him on the radio from the Maldives and he sounded like a voice from the grave. He sounded tired to say the least.
I love the tabloids. Everyone should read some fiction. It's a great outlet.
:)
From your mouth to God's ear.
Wow, that's exactly what I thought when I saw that picture of him. He looks really sick, like he's being slowly poisoned or something.
Just like the two Japanese stragglers who were recently discovered hiding in the jungles in the Philippine island of Mindanao unaware WWII is over, does Clinton know his prseidency ended four years ago?
I doubt it.
He has an already unhealthy life style, he had heart surgery but he hasn't changed his eating habits, and it doesn't look like he exercises (he has gained weight).
If it is an STD, I doubt, with his money and connections, it would ever get to the point of really affecting him.
Am I supposed to care?
I think he just got to lazy to style it with those $400 haircuts.
He just wants to get a paycheck, be in the headlines and feel important (and meet women), outside of that, I don't think he cares about much of anything else anymore.
