Publication: National ExaminerDate: 21 February 2011
I didn't put this story about Bill Clinton dying in the running for Meanest Story of the Week this time around because I already had a story about Chelsea's marriage falling apart which I thought was meaner. Also, as Padre Mickey pointed out, "XXX dying!" is a true story since we are all dying, but it's not really news we can use if it's published ten or twenty years before the fact.
The details in the cover story from the low rent Examiner are that he has heart disease and Parkinson's. The heart disease was confirmed when he was in hospital last year. The Parkinson's is a rumor started by the Globe about two years ago, a story which Clinton has denied, though some sites on the Internet claim it is true.
Best wishes to The Big Dog, his family and friends.
