Bill Clinton on HCR: "It may not happen in my lifetime, or Dick Cheney's, but hopefully by Easter."
The Big Dog has had some heart ailments, but he still knows how to charm a crowd. We really cannot forget the degree to which Republicans will work to undermine a Democratic President with the corporate media acting as an accomplice. The most obvious example today was the coverage of a relatively small tea bagger rally against HCR while the media generally ignored a larger anti-war protest.

Clinton pokes fun at Dems, GOP and himself

WASHINGTON – Former President Bill Clinton poked fun at Republicans, Democrats, his own health and his audience of reporters Saturday night, telling the Gridiron Club's annual dinner he was there because "I really didn't have anything much better to do tonight."

Clinton, who stood in for President Barack Obama, said Democrats are going to pass health care.

"It may not happen in my lifetime, or Dick Cheney's, but hopefully by Easter," he said referring to his and the former to vice president's heart ailments.

Obama, who's preparing for Sunday's probable House vote on health care reform, spoke to the dinner via videotape, saying that when he called Clinton to stand in for him, the former president said, "Let me clear my schedule for the next three years."

3. Hey, hi guys. We could be triplets!
Anyway, I'm hoping that President Clinton will be with us for several more Easters.

7. God has such a sick sense of humor that he'd let Cheney out-live Clinton.
