WHAT DO DICK CHENEY, BILL CLINTON & DANNY WILLIAMS HAVE IN COMMON?

They’re all rich, well-connected politicians with heart trouble, and they all chose to have their bum tickers fixed in the United States. For Clinton and Cheney this is hardly surprising.
But Williams is the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and got a lot of unflattering coverage because he chose our system over the Canadian system. Yesterday he explained:
