A Sincere Get Well Wish for Former President Clinton

Former President Clinton is reported to be recovering well in New York-Presbyterian Hospital following surgery to install two stents into one of his coronary arteries. He underwent quadruple bypass surgery six years earlier, but apparently one of the bypassed arteries was once again blocked.

For all his faults, I still admire this man's ability to overcome setbacks, albeit often self-imposed. He always looks like he's just having a great time. And for someone who is married to our current Secretary of State, that must require a heck of a lot of "happy thoughts" to get through the day in such fashion.

Apparently, he is resting comfortably under the care of his personal nurse.








In any case, I hope he gets well soon and is back on his feet doing the good deeds that former US Presidents often do.

Bill Clinton Has a Harry Reid Moment

Our first Black President is going to have some tough 'splainin' to do for remarks made to the late Senator Kennedy during a phone conversation seeking the Senator's endorsement during the rough and tumble Dem primary in 2008. Apparently, Bill Clinton told the Senator that "...a few years ago, this guy would be getting us coffee...", which so incensed the Senator that he went on to make the Obama endorsement.

Now of course, these remarks had NOTHING TO DO with the fact that the would-be President Obama had virtually NO EXPERIENCE doing anything Presidential (or worthwhile for that matter). They had nothing to do with drawing a comparison between Bill's wife (generally thought to be well-prepared to be President) and the youthful, inexperienced Obama. No--how silly of you to think that. They are of course, racist remarks, and that's the way they'll be treated.

UPDATE: Looks like Mark Steyn beat me to the "First Black President" reference.
