Re: Bill Clinton, As Played By Harrison Ford

A stroke? Presumably ogged has actually seen people that have had a stroke, but maybe not.

Indeed I have. Strokes come in all shapes and sizes.

He fucked up and went vegan. He looks weak because he's become weak.

2: I guess I know that . I just though one stupid troll deserved another.

Maybe if I have a debilitating disease, I'll be able to deliver a long speech like Bill Clinton just did.

Nah. I thought he looked old, but aging is like that: you stay the same for a long time, and then suddenly you're much older.

Also, 5 is right. Aging isn't a river. It's a series if waterfalls. Don't go chasing waterfalls.

I'm watching an elderly man try use a flight simulator and just drive across the desert.

He's Asian and doesn't speak English. The people running the simulator are Midwestern and only speak English. We're all surrounded by out of date delivery systems for nuclear weapons. This is probably a metaphor for life.

Bill would look less unwell if he were still heavier. I'm about 30-40 pounds overweight, and when I'm at my right weight, I look sickly, too.

He had a quadruple bypass 12 years ago, doesn't that take a big toll on you?

Way too much dramatic tension. I'm thinking Coen brothers.

I think it's actually loss of the subcutanous fat that makes him look so old in still photos. Surely you remember the fat twin/thin twin apparent age study? Where the fat twins' apparent age averaged five years younger? Bill's not young, but he's lost a lot of weight, so the lines in his face look deeper. He's three years older than my father, who moves faster and with more apparent strength (vigor?), but they look similar in terms of wrinkles and having fine white hair.

So you're saying my choice is whether I'm to look fat or old?

As Catherine Deneuve put it, "At a certain age, you have to choose between your face and your ass."

It's not that he looks older, it's that he talks a bit differently and his jaw is kinda slack. He's not *that* old, pumphead notwithstanding.

Couple weeks shy of 70. And two terms in the White House probably puts an extra 10 years on you from stress.

Same thing happened to Krugman, he lost a lot of weight with the fast twice a week diet, and everyone started asking if he was sick.

Bill looks fine in the pics in the Rep. Beatty thread. Having a time kicking balloons around. Could be 7 rather than 70.
