[malaise]

at death's door.
I'm actually glad he lived long enough too see how much he helped to fugg up the pkanet and to see his party exposed as rank shithounds,

I still have that bottle on ice.

1. So, are you watching television or something?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

2. I think she's talking about Dumbya's heart problems.

Turns out they were worse than was originally reported. He was apparently on the verge of a massive heart attack. There was a thread about it here earlier in the week.

[MineralMan]

3. Oh, OK. Something of a non-sequitur, though, I think.

Never mind.

4. " In New Book, Cheney Recalls 5 Heart Attacks and His Brush With Death "

Former Vice President Dick Cheney was so close to death in 2010 that he said farewell to his family members and instructed them to have his body cremated and the ashes returned to Wyoming, he writes in a new book on his long battle with heart disease.

Mr. Cheney ultimately survived the emergency surgery that night and went on to have a heart transplant at age 71 that has left him re-energized five years after leaving office. But for the first time, he describes a 35-year medical struggle that he kept generally private in vivid personal detail.

Sorry

[MineralMan]

12. Trouble is that there are so many dicks in Washington.

The place is full of dicks.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney‘s heart problems haven’t been been a secret, but on Wednesday, his daughter revealed that, in 2010, he was “very near death.”

POLITICO reported that she was referring to “when his recurring heart problems required a medical procedure that prolonged his life for just 18 months.”

Per their report:

Speaking at POLITICO’s Playbook Breakfast with Mike Allen, the younger Cheney said that the 2010 procedure kept her father alive until March when he underwent a heart transplant that has been “miraculous” in allowing him to return to normal life.

“I think, for us, as a family, the incredible lesson and the gratitude we feel to the donor family – we don’t know the donor family – there really are not words to describe that gift, what that means,” she said. “It’s the gift of life.”

10. Thanks for the reference.

I really couldn't figure out what you were taking about.

19. I'm still pissed that the fucker got a new heart.

I got some comfort from knowing that he had to be plugged in at night. Now that's gone.

[Solly Mack]

6. Shame his first heart attack didn't kill him.

[malaise]

8. Let him stick around

One day we'll send him to the Hague

[Solly Mack]

9. I wish...just not betting on it.

[rurallib]

15. that would be so karmically ironic

oh please let it happen.

[smokey nj]

21. There's a better chance of me being named America's Next Top Model than Dead Eye going to the Hague.

[sabrina 1]

20. Normally I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but when I think of all the lives he destroyed, I have to

agree, the world would have been a far, far better place without him, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people would be alive today. The only good thing is that maybe, one day, as other countries have done fifty years later, he may have to answer for his war crimes.

[Solly Mack]

24. Would have to be soon. He won't make it another 10 years.

[Lint Head]

13. This country would be better for it if this lying fuck never existed at all.

He should be charged with murder along with GWB.

[malaise]

14. We agree

but watching him watch the destruction of his party is quite delish!!

[rurallib]

16. seeing him watch his daughter get her tea party ass kicked

is also delish - would be better if it was a dem doing the kicking.

[malaise]

17. Yes indeed

That might kill him

[Segami]

18. Yup!

....Is it wrong to relish such a thought?..........who cares.....ON WITH THE SHOW!....

[smokey nj]

22. This reminds me of Swamp Rat. I miss Swamp Rat.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

23. The way you wrote this post....

...made me think the guy had his last coronary.

I actually did a double check of the news site.

Heh.
