Breaking: Bill Clinton to Undergo More Medical Procedures

MSNBC | March 8, 2005

Removing fluid from chest!

Sounds like he preferred the glory of the spotlight instead of resting after his heart surgery for a year! For goodness sakes the man had major heart surgery and within 3 months he was hitting the spotlight trial!! Oh well he chose unwisely!!

Lib's will say President G.H.W. Bush should have offered Clinton the bed on the plane, and that sleeping on the plane's floor caused these new complications.

[thoughtomator]

Actually, on that point... this is one of those times I'm really glad my religion doesn't require me to pray for my enemies.

[Howlin]

The wife and I were just remarking about how poor he looked compared to a lot of people who are this far out from a bypass.

I agree; he just never looked right; and the times he did, he looked heavily "doctored" to me.

I know plenty who have had this operation and NONE of them have had this type of recovery and/or trouble. He's not robust looking at all.

Two procedures in five months is NOT good.

[Miss Behave]

I offer my prayers.

[CitizenM]

I don't want to be tacky and say anything bad about Clinton's condition. I am sure he will get the best of care, and will make it through this, as thousands of others have. It is a serious, though not unusual surgery and I wish him well so he can have a good life ahead.

However, I do hope that the Left does not get tacky also - and make a "hero" out of him for this, or work this to get the "sympathy" vote for Hillary. We should all keep politics out of the operating room.

[trisham]

Both of my parents died of it. I take aspirin daily.

might also be a pericardial effusion. i'm not near a tv so my telediagnostic powers are limited.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Quite frankly, since losing the power he enjoyed as President, you can clearly see he is not a happy man. I could see it all over his gaunt, dejected face in Seoul even over his book signing there last week--which should have been a happy event.

I don't see this guy outliving Bush 41, Carter, or mabye even Ford perhaps, who is past octugenarian I believe.

I hope he fully repents for his sins, lies, assaults and corruptions, for his own eternal sake, and wish him the best on his journey that we all have to make some day.

[fooman]

Fast times at Ridgemount High catching up vacum cleaner....

[thoughtomator]

This is bad timing for Hillary, she needs it to happen in reasonably close proximity to the primaries.

[johnb838]

Everything else aside I've always found Billy Bob most entertaining. I hope he gets back to his hillbilly wise-cracking self after this 'corrective" measure.

[Howlin]

I'm not asking for what. :-)

[MattinNJ]

I consider the man a traitor who gave our military secrets to the Chicomms. That being said, he is the former POTUS and C-in C and as a patriotic American I wish him well.

[OXENinFLA]

Removing fluid from chest!

From his chest?

(Sorry I know I shouldn't be cruel when he's have a medical procedure, but that was just to easy.)

[spectre]

FReepers have been saying how bad he looks for months now.

I have to say it. If it was between Bill and Hill for President, I'd hope for Bill. At least we'd know what we were getting. Chew on that, DU!

Long airplane rides can cause blood clots.
