Bill Clinton had two stents surgically implanted in an artery on Thursday after complaining of chest pains two days ago.
Emergency surgery and the guy is a model of public disclosure even though, not holding elected office any more, he really isn’t obliged to say anything. The public knows what happened – down to a description of the tiny devices – and they even know where the surgery took place.
Meanwhile a town councillor in the United Kingdom disclosed his recent bout of cardiac problems.
Meanwhile in Calgary, a local columnist - and Ralph Klein’s former chief of staff - offers some clear-eyed observations on how another politician handled his own health issues:
None of that appeared to have been done. The whole thing was rushed, and a flustered deputy premier was pushed out in front of the cameras, ill-prepared, with no script and few answers. Not good enough for the big leagues. Having said all that, get well Danny, and remember to pay the bill.
Like the Oilers.
Notice the number of nasty comments from the brave souls who can’t even sign their own names. Of course none of those comments could possibly be part of an orchestrated attack campaign.
