MALE, Maldives (AP) -

Former President Clinton has canceled his trip to tsunami-hit areas of Maldives because of exhaustion, a U.N. official said Saturday.

Cherie Hart, spokesman for the U.N. Development Program and coordinator of Clinton's visit, said the former president, who underwent a heart bypass operation in September, was not sick.

"He's plain pooped and he wants to slow the schedule down," Hart said.

Clinton, who recently was appointed U.N. special envoy for tsunami recovery, will keep his scheduled appointments in the Maldives, but will not tour areas devastated by December's giant wave.

In other words, he sucked all the publicity he could out of this story while it was still front page news. If a comparable disaster would hit somewhere tomorrow, he'd be there with as much vigor as a meth-head with an eightball and a fresh pack of U-100's.

His AIDS or STD caught up with him.

Fox reporting that he's canceling a visit to one island due to bad weather.

Whatever.

Agreed, something ain't right with ol' Bill - I could say it's keeping me up nights worrying about his health ... I could say it but saying it wouldn't make it true.

"Former President Clinton has canceled his trip to tsunami-hit areas of Maldives because of exhaustion, a U.N. official said Saturday."

Bill just doesn't have the sexual stamina that he used to.

No, I suspect the heart operation kicked his behind.

I think he's sicker than we think.
I think he is too. I hope he lingers, though. We don't need a Democrat saint.

A U-100 was the true factory numerical designation for the smaller Ford Bronco made from 1966 to 1977. The "U" meaning utility. 100 meaning light duty half ton capacity.

Naw, he misread his itinerary. He thought it said M*ff Dives instead of Maldives.

The tabloids will soon have him on his deathbed.

Special combo state funeral.......

Clinton and Carter

Then old Hill might get the sympathy vote.

Believe she's thinking about it!

Bill should hire a food taster.

Yeah, we'll have a state funeral on the eve of the NH primary. Then he'll make subsequent appearances for Hillary's campaign.

I'm not a big fan of his, but still I think many of the comments mean spirited. I think his heart was in worse shape than we thought and he is sicker than we have been led to believe. While he is traveling first class, his schedule is probably too strenuous for his condition.

He's not a healthy man. As much as I dislike him, I hope he is well soon.
