Bill Clinton in Hospital

Mr. Clinton is apparently in the hospital and to undergo bypass surgery. Partisanship aside, I’d like to ask that folks said a prayer, or such, on his behalf.

Sure, will do. I liked Pres Clinton.

I looked for this in the political thread first, which is actually silly because a heart attack isn’t political.

I’ll pray for him. And Chelsea and Hillary, too.

His operation is going to be on Tuesday…he is quite blocked…is supposed to have a quadruple bypass.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU MR. PRESIDENT!! Prayers and good thoughts!

Wish I could have voted for him again..I would have.

He’s got one from me! :slight_smile:

he was in Dublin signing books last week. That’s what a full irish breakfast does to you :blush:

I’m not at all a religious person, but I’ll try and send some positive thoughts Bill’s way…

:party:

Scary. :astonished: But on second thought, remember how famous he was for loving his McDonald’s fries? I guess there’s a lot to be said for avoiding them.

They’re fried in the fat of dead cows. Reason enough to avoid them for me.

Yeah, I heard they used to fry them in the fat of live cows, but it was too hard to get the cows to stand still the whole time.

:wink:

Something about this story escapes me. Why is health so bad?? couldn’t he have afforded proper healthcare YEARS AGO that could have avoided this?

He can afford the best healthcare in the entire world.

However, he eats fast food impulsively like tens of millions of Americans.

Also, very little is known about his genetic pre-disposition to heart disease because his parents died before they reached his age.

Best wishes to Bill, the first and so far only cool American president.

And, he sent my wife and i a nice card of congratulations for our wedding.

Best wishes to Bill. I had no idea about his addiction to fast food but these conditions have a much heavier genetic component than we might realise. some people who eat lots of junk food have very low cholestrol counts and no weight problem.

Get better soon, Bill!

Those were the days, when the worst job done in the White House was a b…job! :wink:

I will pray.

My best to Bill too–
BTW-- that Northern Westchester Hospital, where he had his angiogram is in Mt. Kisco, as in The Maids of Mt. Kisco. Really. It’s my hometown, and I had a chance to ask Mick Moloney about that tune title-- he verified that it is indeed named for that suburban NY town. Mt. K is right next to Chappaqua where the Clintons live.

On which tune, see:

Since I think it’s been a while since the site’s been mentioned (and it moved a few months ago) this is a good opportunity to put in a plug for the Fiddler’s Companion:

That, I assume, would be the Chappaqua of Ornette Coleman’s Chappaqua Suite. Does every town in the region have a bit of music named after it?
