...Yes. I already came across a guy who wondered if this was timed to be a distraction from the Bush convention. Jeebus, you can't hold a discussion with a sick mind.
Speedy recovery, Big Dog.
Bill Clinton to undergo bypass surgery in NYC
Former President Bill Clinton will undergo heart bypass surgery after complaining of mild chest pain and shortness of breath, his office said Friday.
Clinton was being admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital, a statement said. He had seen a doctor first on Thursday, and additional tests Friday revealed the need for the surgery, it said.
Clinton scheduled the surgery after tests revealed significant blockage, said a Democratic Party official close to Clinton who had discussed the medical condition with the former president's staff.
In Little Rock, Ark., Clinton's mother-in-law, Dorothy Rodham, said Clinton had called her to tell her about his chest pains.
"He sounded wonderful as usual and very upbeat as he always is," she said. "I just told him how much I love him."
She said she didn't know if he was in the hospital when he called.
The surgery was not likely to take place Friday, but instead at a later date, the official said.
