The Dick flops - but is recovering
Washington (CNN) -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney was hospitalized Monday with chest pains, according to his office.

Cheney, 69, is resting comfortably at George Washington University Hospital, and his doctors are evaluating the situation, his staff said in a statement.

A family source told CNN that Cheney will be kept in the hospital overnight for observation and additional tests.

Cheney has a long history of heart problems. He has suffered four heart attacks dating to 1978, when he was 37. He had his second in 1984 and a third in 1988 before undergoing quadruple bypass surgery to unblock his arteries. His fourth heart attack happened in November 2000, after he was elected vice president. At that time, doctors inserted a stent to open an artery.

So the Dick has a heart? Who knew?

For him the best healthcare the World has to offer.

I wish the Dick well. I still want to see it and Blair facing a War Crimes Tribunal. I want him fully able to understand the consequences of his crimes against humanity.

8. My first thought as well. "He has a heart?"
Edited on Mon Feb-22-10 09:56 PM by BrklynLiberal
Must be mechanical problems with the machinery he has in his chest.


He has definitely sold his soul to the devil for eternal life. There is no way he should still be haunting us here among the living.

9. On certain issues Cheney was too conservative for even W, but he's OK on several social issues
Edited on Mon Feb-22-10 10:39 PM by democrat2thecore
We shouldn't wish ill on Cheney or anyone else. They just disagree with us and vice versa. Should he be charged with crimes if any were committed? (and I think they were)- absolutely.

edit to BOLD!

14. I wish him well.
I still hold to the possibility that some Nation somewhere may hold the likes of Blair and Cheney accountable (I almost consider Bush to be the Comical Ali of Western politics - so trying him would almost be unfair, the insanity plea is too great to ignore).

15. Hope he appreciates my paying his hospital bill, while I never see a doc because I can't afford it.

19. In my view, the passing of either Dick Cheney or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are the same
Both will not even be allowed to go to Hell.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Dick Cheney are the same in terms of endangering our democracy. If they both moved on, the World would be a better place.

20. Either way, his place in hell is ready for him
The way I look at it, if he dies it will be an inconvience for government to have to stop and try to say nice things about him.
