Is the lunatic fringe hijacking America?

Bill Clinton released from hospital
New York (CNN) - Former President Clinton left a New York hospital early Friday, less than a day after doctors performed a procedure to restore blood flow in one of his coronary arteries.
Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton confidant and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, confirmed Clinton had left New York-Presbyterian Hospital's Columbia campus.
A statement from Douglas Band, adviser to Clinton, also confirmed the release, saying the former president expressed thanks to his doctors and "the many people who extended their best wishes to him for a quick recovery. He looks forward in the days ahead to getting back to the work of his foundation, and to Haiti relief and recovery efforts."
Clinton has "no evidence of heart attack or damage to his heart," and his prognosis is excellent after undergoing a procedure Thursday, according to Dr. Allan Schwartz, the hospital's chief of cardiology.
