NEW YORK (AP) Bill Clinton accepted an award Wednesday night on behalf of his wife, who was honored by the American Health Foundation at a Manhattan hotel.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., received the organization's President's Award for ''outstanding leadership in the support of health promotion and cancer research.''
Bill Clinton told a crowd of about 250 people that he is very proud of his wife for having ''the guts'' to run for the Senate, for absorbing the grief of the Sept. 11 attacks and for her commitment to health care.
''Throughout my presidency, she was an enormous inspiration to me and always prodding me to do more in the area of health care,'' he said. ''And now, she's out there, doing it on her own, and I try to be an inspiration and a prod to her.''
The chair of the American Health Foundation dinner, Barbara Hearst, said the group, which is devoted to cancer prevention, honored Hillary Clinton for a lifetime of work in health care.
Hillary Clinton could not attend the dinner at the midtown hotel because she stayed in Washington, where the Senate was in session.
ROTFL I like it
And a prod to anything else in skirts!!
WOW, I think this is new record. I I I I me me me me .

The American Health Foundation is a national resource for innovative approaches to nutritional and environmental health promotion programs. Its staff works with leaders throughout the country to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Much of our work is supported by the National Institutes of Health and by organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the American Institute for Cancer Research. We are also dependent on the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations who share our vision of identifying ways to prevent chronic disease through nutrition, lifestyle habits, and the environment.
The American Health Foundation (AHF) is an approved non-profit 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.
Dr. Wynder founded the American Health Foundation in 1969 as an independent research center for the prevention of disease.
He was also admired for his courage in opposing those who questioned the causative association between environmental factors and disease, and for standing up for his conviction that 30% of all early deaths from cancer are attributable to smoking. In fact, it was this conviction that motivated him to establish the American Health Foundation.
Happy to be a prod and an inspiration to you.
