I chose to post this here, because i believe that this comes under the category of “entertainment”. I don’t happen to believe in NDEs, so I would like to hear from you who do. Last night, the news had a clip of Bill Clinton describing his experiences as he was operated upon , for quadruple-bypass heart surgery. He described it as a “dark, threatening cloud” over his head…then, he saw Hilarie’s face in a “circleoflight”…this faded out, and he saw Clesea’s face.
Personally, these seems a bit over the top…where’s that 'tunnel of blackness",leading to the light that the NDE people yack about? Anyway, since Bill survivd his surgery, I guess we are about to be treated to a full recounting of this, in full, nauseating detail.
I think Bill should stick to lecuring about third world debt problems and keep eating his Big Macs!
Bill Clinton AND NDE’s?
Hail Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now and at the our of our death.
Just when I thought Wild Bill couldn’t get any more ridiculous.
:rolleyes:
I shudder when I think that asshat was the leader of the free world for 8 frickin years.
Yeah… an overdramatic hospital experience and a blowjob… how could anybody be worse? 
Exactly! 
Much as I disagree with almost everything about this post, this sentence made me laugh like a man given completely the wrong medication. It may be the word “asshat” that clinches it.
I think that Bill’s account is a fictional one. He dreamed it up as a way ofmaking his operation moreinteresting. After all, If YOU saw Hillarie’s face in an NDE, would you think you had gone to hell?
Gone to hell and greeted by Old Scratch himself!

I haven’t heard Clinton’s account of his experience, but let me just say that I DO believe in NDEs - I just don’t happen to believe that they are anything more than hallucinations. I don’t put any stock in the spiritual interpretations that people ascribe to them, but it’s pretty myopic to contend that nobody has ever at least had some sort of experience.
I have heard the “flashes of light”, “tunnel of darkness”, and other phenomena explained by doctors as being the natural result of oxygen-deprivation. People with strong religious beliefs tend to interpret these hallucinations in a spiritual way.
Yeah, I sure was getting tired of all that peace, freedom, and prosperity. Glad that’s over with.
Apparently your Clintonian years were slightly different than mine.
Politics aside, I just can’t stand that shitheap.
As far as the NDE thing, I’m not sure what I believe about them. The people who have had them are pretty certain it was a much deeper experience than neural firing from a dying brain and the doctors seem to think it’s all a matter of biochemistry. Who’s right? Who knows. I reserve judgement until more evidence is available. If you told me you had one, I would more inclined to believe you. If President Penis says he had one? well I’d be inclined to roll my eyes (with fervor) and give him a hearty “bullshit!”
First of all this is in the wrong forum since it’s really just a childish pit rant, not an enetertainment thread.
Secondle, BC never said he had an NDE, he was just describing a dream. BFD.
Well, I was on planet Earth at the time. I suppose I shouldn’t assume the same of you.
So do people who drop acid. Doesn’t convince me, though.
The doctors.
Me.
I saw a syringe squirting into the IV. I looked up and saw a very bright light. As I slid off and thought my retinas would be burned out, I thought “Shit, you really should put a lampshade on that thing…”
I awakened with a nurse helping me sit up saying “F–k!”
Me, not the nurse.
Yup.

All that peace and prosperity really sucked! (No pun intended.) :wally
Fictional? Probably not. I, myself, have seen similar things while under the influence of narcotics…
My first instinct was to Pit the asshattery of people who still go on about Cenis (Clinton’s Penis) when this current pResident will go down in History as the Worst President Ever, but then I realized that since the next several years will be filled with Bush Talk, what with all the investigations into the corruption of his administration, and (hopefully) prison time some of them will get (though probably not the man himself, dammit), that giggling at their asshattery is much more rewarding.
They’re the ones who’ll look like morons to future generations. Best to preserve all that stupidity for posterity and laugh at it now.
(I vote for drug-induced hallucinations too, but then, I also believe that Crop Circles are man-made and a tribute to human ingenuity, intelligence, artistry and innovation)
That’s what I was thinking. What qualifies this as an NDE? I mean, it was an E, but he was nowhere near D. Don’t you need at least two out of three?
My “l” went a-missing while I had my Near Asshattery Experience.
Make that: Clenis
This is one of the dumbest OPs I’ve seen in at least a week. I don’t like Bush but if he said he had dream about his family during heart surgery I wouldn’t accuse him of making it up just because it humanizes him too much. BC’s experience is commonplace for those undergoing that kind of surgery. Why is it so hard to believe that images of his wife and daughter would be foremost in his mind?
