Bill Clinton Hospitalized With Chest Pains, Democratic Sources Say (washingtonpost.com)

While on the subject of french fries.

Former President Bill Clinton checked himself into a New York City hospital on Friday suffering from chest pains, Democratic party officials said.

Emergency bypass surgery?

Hopefully he’ll be OK since he’s a little young to have a heart attack. BUT now I wonder about all that commentary about his eating McDonalds burgers all the time and french fries.

To make the humor even darker here is a screen capture of the front page of the Washington post with the Clinton article AND a Burger King ad! Since I’ve never seen an ad like this for a “Whopper” could it be “code” by the newspaper to tell us that this story is bogus? Or just black humor?

    No, this story is true. It’s at NYTimes and BBC and CNN. I hope he gets well as he’s the only politician I actually like.

    I think you’ve got a sure-fire PC Mag, backpage (can’t remember what it’s called) submission right there.

    This could be nothing. I was somewhat embarrassed last year to have gone to the hospital for chest pains for what turned out to be nothing serious. They pains were pretty severe and I thought it might have been a heart attack. Turned out that I had strained the muscles in my rib cage. Go figure.

    I learned a valuable lesson: if you’re having chest pains, and they get worse if you move around or merely from the expansion of your chest due to breathing, it probably isn’t a heart attack.

    Err … I see that he’s going to have bypass surgery. Nevermind my earlier comment about how it might be nothing … http://tinyurl.com/4djam
