Sore Throats and Healthcare

I have a sore throat this morning.

Too bad that doesn't qualify me for disability pay, because with the cold wind whipping around, and all the pollen in the air, today would be a mighty fine day to just stay snuggled beneath the feather comforter and inhale Vicks Vap-o-Rub fumes.

Talk Radio hosts should qualify for sore throat disability, though.
That's what we do--talk for a living. Maybe we'll get that with President Clinton's new universal healthcare plan...maybe.

I saw this piece on the Newsbusters.org site over the weekend.
And since I feel crummy today, will pass it along for your enjoyment:

Hillary Clinton visited a primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offered a question and answer period.

One little boy put up his hand.
The Senator asked his name.

"Kenneth."
"And what is your question, Kenneth?"

"I have three questions: First - whatever happened to the medical health care plan you were paid to develop during your husband's eight years in the office as President?
Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?
Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?"

Just then the bell rings for recess.
Senator Clinton informs the kids that they will continue after recess.

When they resume, Mrs. Clinton says, "Okay, where were we?
Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy put his hand up.
Hillary pointed him out and asked him his name.

"Larry."
"And what is your question, Larry?"

"I have five questions: First - whatever happened to the medical health care plan you were paid to develop during your husband's eight years in the office as President?
Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?
Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?
Fourth - why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
Fifth - what happened to Kenneth?"

See you in the morning on the Radio.
