Best Wishes For Clinton; Mockery From Vito (Fossella - R - NY)
Best Wishes For Clinton; Mockery From Vito

As many of you have probably already heard, Bill Clinton suffered a minor heart attack today, and is going in for quadruple bypass surgery tomorrow. We here at the Barbaro for Congress campaign offer our prayers that the surgery goes well, and wish the former President a speedy recovery.

Unfortunately, it appears that Vito spent a bit too much time watching the hate-fest at the Republican convention the past few days. Or maybe it's just him showing his true colors.

Earlier today, on Fox News, Vito actually had the gall to suggest that Bill Clinton had a heart attack, and needed major surgery, because the Republican convention was so wonderful.

"Who knows? It could be the result of a successful Republican convention," were Vito's exact words, referring to the cause of Clinton's heart problems.

We here at the Barbaro for Congress campaign condemn this callous, insensitive mockery of a man about to have major surgery. Politics is one thing; a man's health and life, particularly that of the former President of the United States, are another.

Whatever your opinion of Bill Clinton, he deserves a certain basic amount of respect and compassion, both as a former President and as a human being. But, apparently, Vito doesn't understand this.

Vito thinks it appropriate to crack jokes about a man's impending quadruple bypass surgery. He should be ashamed of himself.

Tell Vito what you think about this inexcusable affront to basic human decency.

Vito's SI Office: 718-356-8400 (phone); 718-630-1928 (fax)

Vito's Brooklyn Office: 718-630-5277 (phone); (718) 630-5388 (fax)

3. Once again may I suggest

In West Allis, Wisconsin today Bush sent good wishes to Bill Clinton prior to major heart surgery amid boos. Isn't this a real situation similar to that 'described' for which we were crucified during the Wellstone Memorial? Why is there no outcry nor vilification? Why does everything take "it's o.k. if Pukes do it but when Dem's are "said" to be off there'll be hell to pay" imagery. I don't get it unless we consider the stupidity of Americans and/or a bias media pumping.

8. This is worse than anything supposedly done at the Wellstone Memorial
Does anyone know if there is video of this? Wonder if Bush had a smirk on his face while the scumbags were booing?

4. They are all POS's
Evil to the core.

But I have to admit I would feel some satisfaction if the same thing were happening to Dumbya or Unka Dick.


But then again, those two have murdered thousands on a whim. Clinton actually gave a damn about the well-being of our troops and the people of Kosovo.

5. my letter to Vito
I can only say your comments, reflect a typical republican. Full of Klass. You bring shame to New York. Maybe Bill should run for your seat.
