Clinton's heart situation.....rare or not rare?
Since yesterday it seems to have gotten "rare", from "not uncommon".. Is MSM just correcting early misunderstandings?

1. I understood he had a pretty routine bypass operation
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 07:24 AM by notadmblnd
which was performed on my husband 13 years ago. The Dr.s took veins f rom his leg and his breasts, stopped the heart and bypassed the blockages. It was the second surgery 12 years later that killed him, that was valve replacement.

2. It's an anomolous condidtion.

That is to say that it does not routinely occur after a bypass, but it is not at all unheard of following such a procedure.

3. What the rethugs put Bill Clinton through,
was unforgivable. How do those people ever look in mirrors.

My elderly aunt was crying one morning when she called me, saying look what they are doing to "our President" before the world.

They would have crucified him if they could have. He has more heart than any of them.

The "they" rethugs have just continued. Look what the rethugs did to Kerry during the campaign.

I hope and pray President Clinton gets totally well.

Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 07:52 AM by chipaev
umm, I'm not one to defend figurative crucifiction but the man did do something wrong and putting him on trial was not such a terrible thing.

that being said, get well bill.

6. Clinton's impeachment was the result of a witchhunt....
It was part of the attack on Democrats (& Democracy) whose next "move" was the stolen election of 2000.

How many thousands of Americans did his "something wrong" kill? When does Bush Jr go on trial?

7. Not such a terrible thing?
Please - it was a witch hunt - the man did not deserve being ripped apart over a personal indiscretion.
Makes me sick to think of all the things * has done and will do without any kind of accountability.
It's an old line, but I'll say it again - the decisions Clinton made did not kill people.

5. Asked my mom who is a nurse-
She said this isn't a common procedure, and they are playing it down on the media.

So, from what she told me, I think the MSM is just correcting earlier mistakes ( MSM being wrong about something :eyes: )
