AAR news: Clinton to play golf with Dimson and Poppy tomorrow

[tridim]

I have just one question for Bill. Why?

I know it shouldn't piss me off, but it just does. Clinton should know better than to play buddy-buddy with these monsters.

[elehhhhna]

1. His wife switched parties. Haven't you heard?

[Democrat 4 Ever]

3. He is also going in for more surgery on Thursday.

Heard in on AAR - said it wasn't too serious but was a fairly rare condition due to his heart surgery six months ago. Expect a fairly fast recovery. Wish I caught the name of the procedure or the cause.

5. Removal of some scar tissue and fluid in his chest.

NEW YORK - Former President Clinton will undergo a medical procedure this week to remove fluid and scar tissue from his left chest, six months after he underwent quadruple bypass surgery, his office said Tuesday.

The low-risk procedure will take place Thursday at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. Clinton will remain hospitalized for three to 10 days and is expected to make a "full functional recovery," doctors said.

Clinton was proceeding with his schedule in Washington on Tuesday. He smiled and waved to reporters as he entered the State Department for meetings, but did not make any comment. He planned to be at a White House event later in the day, according to his spokesman, Jim Kennedy.

"He's in Washington now, doing what he does," said Dr. Allan Schwartz, chief of cardiology at the hospital. "Tomorrow, he'll be playing golf. ... This is not an emergency."

2. Clinton, for all his faults and flaws is an "Old Style American"

Likely he refuses, as so many do, to see the monstrous evil lurking within the Imperial Family of Amerika.

But Clinton likely refuses to even see that we now HAVE an Imperial Family.

In the end, who can guess what is on his mind, but he is playing at Old America by treating with these Imperial Monsters as if they were Presidents like he was, rather than Emperors.

And yes, it bothers me, too. A little too much like David Ben-Gurion going golfing with Hitler and Stalin.

6. I'm in the younger generation and I believe that Bush is the prez

o_O.

[DireStrike]

9. A prez like clinton was?

Bush commands far more power, if you ask me, by virtue of being a corporate republican.

[tom_paine]

10. No one is telling you what to believe. As you grow older experience

will teach you otherwise (if indeed I am correct, I may be wrong).

Always remember Tyrants and Totalitarians ALWAYS mislabel. They have to.

Thus, you had "Democratic Republic of East Germany" or the equally misnamed "Democratic People's Republic of Korea".

You can believe Bushler is President. Assad of Syria calls himself President, too. So does Dictator of Egypt Hosni Mubarak.

But what's in a name? Tyrants have been pretending to be the Champions of Liberty since LONG BEFORE the Busheviks came along.

In either case, you may believe what you wish. It may comfort you for your role in allowing the End of the Old American Republic.

But I have no such luxury of illusion. I had seven (yes SEVEN) Great-Uncles gulagged by Stalin. Not one of them came out alive. I have studied the precepts of Totalitarianism since I read "1984" and "Farenheit 451" and said "Thank God America isn't like those places."

Of course, today we come closer to those dystopias every day. And I have no illusion about where the blame lies. With each and every one of us, including me.

However, I must caution, Totalitarianism is chimeric by neccessity, for each time it is defeated, it is discredited again. Yet it keeps popping up in new forms, like BushPutinism. Any first year Marketing Major could tell you that if you want to reintroudce an old, yet discredited product, that you have to invent a new packaging or people won't buy it.

So if you wait for uniforms, armbands, and cattlecars full of piteous victims, you will likely have a long wait.

Anyway, you are "free" to believe what you wish. (just not fre enough to have a trustworthy, auditable voting system or a Free World Press) In fact, if that turns out to be the case and the American Republic is just fine, no one will be more happy than I.

But at this point in history, I place that at a very low order of probability (hope spring eternal, though).

While you are waiting for time to unravel the truth where Amerika is headed, please read this:

4. Isn't he in the hospital?

[Al-CIAda]

7. Fuck Clinton. -eom

[Billy Ruffian]

8. I'd love to watch that

I read a book called "First Off The Tee" about the presidents that have played golf.

Clinton tends to take a lot of do-overs, and not count the bad shots.

Pop & son play 'speed golf', not waiting for anyone, but playing and counting every shot.

Should be amusing.

11. stop it.................................its for $$$$$$ for tsunami victims

hes only doing this to keep his word to raise money for this effort.........I respect him for finishing the job he started and not postponing the event.......

Clinton said, he will play in a charity golf tournament with former President George H.W. Bush for tsunami relief.

[Pepperbelly]

12. thank you ...

some of the time it's hard to tell who here is really on what side, isn't it?

[wyldwolf]

13. I predict

..that people will ignore your post and continue with their "fuck Clinton" tirades.

So many reactionaries on DU.

[Beaverhausen]

14. God I love the Big Dawg

Hope he doesn't overdo it.

[tridim]

16. I didn't know that.. The news clip didn't mention that it was for charity

Just said the were playing golf.

[Jacobin]

15. I thought he was going in the hospital for surgery

[KoKo]

19. Not until next Thursday. That's what was reported in the news conference

with his doctors today. :shrug:

[Andromeda]

17. I love the Big Dawg...

This is for charity, you know. Or does that still qualify for a "fuck Clinton."

[librechik]

18. I wish he wouldn't

he looks haggard--i'm worried about him
