Did anyone else notice how Cheney kept nodding-off during the speech of...

[originalpckelly]

PM Olmert? He would close his eyes, then his head nodded, and then he would wake-up all surprised that he had fallen asleep.

I wonder if Cheney has narcolepsy or something similar. I will try to play back the video to find the frames where he was asleep.

[Captain Hilts]

1. He's an old crank who isn't healthy enough for the job. nt

[Captain Hilts]

14. Like Rumsfeld, they don't want to have a confirm. hearing for replacement

So, he's in his job for the long haul.

[Bassic]

2. Not narcolepsy.

He was probably just hungover and dreaming of quail hunting with some Democrats.

[originalpckelly]

3. I wonder if his pacemaker is skipping? (n/t)

[blm]

4. Probably his meds - GOPs, as a group, are into prescription med abuse

Dems are into pot - GOPs are into coke, meth, and prescription drugs.

9. Man if that's the case, no wonder they keep kicking...

... our asses at every turn!... Put down the bong friends...! :hippie:

[blm]

11. heh.... no kidding. And why GOps are so monstrously manic.

5. I saw that, was gonna comment on it myself.....

but you beat me to it...

6. his tiny heart is giving out

it's one of the signs of a seriously fading ticker.

[TechBear_Seattle]

7. His heart is two sizes too small

And I bet it will take more than the Whos in Whoville to change that around.

[badgerpup]

16. Ya read my mind...

...and he sure doesn't look like somebody who takes care of his health.
He's got gout...which is NOT an indicator of smashing good health.
A pacemaker will only do so much, ya know...
I'm wondering if there's some COPD going on there as well.

Notice I said WONDERING. I did not say there IS.

[Deja Q]

19. That's reassuring...

I have the same problem.

And I can't wait for mine to go out.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

22. but you have a big heart, Hypno!

You'll live forever. :)

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. What heart? n/t

[hippiechick]

8. There's an ongoing discussion in Spirituality/Astrology about Dick

... we've been watching his health issues for awhile now.

Stop by! :hi:

[NJ_Lib]

10. Please, people like Dick live forever...

... Or til' 96 anyway... You know how it goes, six year olds die of cancer but Dick is still running around out there... Uchhh....

[hippiechick]

15. You make the assumption that he's ALIVE at present ?

... CrashCart Palpatine travels with a cadre of medical professionals and probably a bigass battery re-charger ...

He's either animatronic or undead. I'm not sure which. :evilgrin:

[DemoTex]

12. Cheney is a sick man with a big alcohol problem.

I have read that he continues to drink beverage alcohol against medical advice. I have also read that some of his medications potentiate the deleterious effects of the alcohol. What say you, Harry Whittington?

[originalpckelly]

13. Did anyone get this on a high quality video...

because I don't know if we will be able to see it on the C-Span internet stream? Probably could wait until C-Span rebroadcasts it, but I don't have a way to get video on to my computer.

[MADem]

17. They've probably upped his medications, and he's reacting to it

...or maybe he's not processing oxygen like he should.

[cliss]

18. Thanks for pointing this out.

We've been following Crackshot's condition for a while now in the Astrology forum. This will add to their information.

[dogday]

21. And when he woke up, he looked like this!!!!!!!!!!!!
