Removing fluid from chest!
I thought her heiny was moving in on Corzine and the reason for his divorce.
The aggravating thing about this kind of news.....we don't really know if we're getting the truth, part of it, or just what Clinton wants released. And for certain, unless Clinton wanted this news released today, it wouldn't be, that's for sure.
And The length of his hospital stay can't possibly be known before he's hospitalized. We don't know if conjecture about the length of his stay is exaggerated for drama and sympathy. Or exaggerated so that when he leaves early, the media will pronounce his swifter than expected recovery, a miracle! Or maybe Clinton is scheduling some other little nip and tuck procedures while he's there and would need this guesstimated time to stay out of sight while healing. (Since losing weight, his facial wrinkles are pronounced.
And certainly, the other consideration whenever there's news of Bill Clinton, is how it's timed to impact favorably on Hillary's presidential maneuverings. I"m not questioning at all that Bill Clinton might need this procedure....but isn't it cute how it comes right after he gallantly gave up his bed on the plane for the elder President Bush? Didn't you wonder why it was his bed in the first place?
Oh well, we can wish a former President the very best of luck, but that's no reason not to suspect that he is gaming this event for maximum political gain.

He has been looking awfully gaunt and fragile lately.
Bill Clinton
President of the United States of America, elected twice. Serial adulterer, impeached for perjury.
Saddam Hussein
President of Iraq, never elected. Had all enemies tortured and killed (PS don't tell me Clinton killed Foster or any other nonsense), conspired to kill President George HW Bush, intentionally caused ecological disaster by destorying oil wells.
Yeah, they are really similar.
It is good to see so many other Freepers showing concern and not taking potshots. It is not good to wish harm upon anybody else, even your political enemies (except defeat at the polls, of course).
Okay, I'll say it (know all that I do not wish this, and have offered prayers): As far as the political calculus goes, if he dies, it helps Hilary in her Whitehouse pursuit.
I organized a dozen protests of Bill Clinton in the Philadelphia area, and attended others. I fought against him, politically, as hard as anyone, in a very tough environment.
I wish him the best of health.
I am not a Christian.
Her Heinous needs that back up cash for '08 in case the DLC funding list fall apart..
No Bashing.

They couldn't find a plane with two beds for two former US presidents? IMO, this is just propaganda to make Bubba look good.

Any FReepers with cardio experience. How long do you have to be off blood thinners or beta blockers prior to this type of surgery...that could maybe explain the delay.
Good post and points to ponder.
OFF Topic
Are you checking out the questions the reporters are asking the Penegton???
Ditto. I actually feel sorry for the guy. Prayers for the big lug.
"Are you trying to kill my good mood?"
How about this to revive your mood? On Dan Rather's last night (Wed.) his special tribute to himself will be preempted for the Clinton surgery story. Speculation abounds if His Danno will break down in tears while reporting on Mr. Clinton tonight.
Gee, this is too bad.
It is Bush 1's fault for not giving up the bed.
