Dick Cheney has no pulse
Mr. Cheney’s heart will never beat at full strength again, doctors say. His new mechanical pump, a partial artificial heart known as a ventricular assist device, leaves patients without a pulse because it pushes blood continuously instead of mimicking the heart’s own beat. Most pulse-less patients feel nothing unusual, but the devices do pose significant risks of infection. They are implanted as a last resort either for permanent use or as a bridge to transplant until a donor heart can be found. Mr. Cheney, who has participated in some of the nation’s toughest decisions for decades, now faces a crucial one of his own: whether to seek a full heart transplant.

5. The one he has made of
coal and oil, and Halliburton should be good. This is not the wizard of oz. No transplants. They don't make hearts like his any longer. They have been discontinued.

7. Yeah right
"Mr. Cheney, who has participated in some of the nation’s toughest decisions for decades"
Toughest as in how much money can he make over war? I hope he dies a horrible death.

11. This Is News?
I thought it was a well-established (and well-known) fact that Darth Cheney has no heart.

There was never one there to begin with.

16. obligatory...


He is one of the worst things that ever happened to this nation. He brought shame to the United States. He was a crook of major proportions who bought his v.p. slot by buying up the Bush family's asbestos liability via Dresser by acquiring the company for Halliburton.

He was a pig feeding at the trough of the military-industrial complex for decades and he sent America's sons and daughter to die in Iraq because of his draft-dodging hubris.

He lied about WMDs, he colluded with liars to cook evidence and he outed a CIA agent to cover for his lies.

He is a scumbag of the first degree and the world will be better off when he's dead. I'm just sorry it didn't happen sooner.
