Cheney has a "personal ambulance"?!

[Earth_First]

The amount of money per hour it must cost to send these people anywhere must be in the thousands of dollars per hour.

[SeattleGirl]

1. And I's sure we are the ones paying for it.

:grr:

[leftchick]

13. guaranteed US Tax payer dollars pay all of their health and security costs

can't have him dipping into his war profits.

[deutsey]

2. I thought he would have a personal shock trauma unit following him around

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. And the best health insurance plan in America.

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. I bet Al Gore didn't go around

with a personal ambulance.

[Road Scholar]

6. LOL Really! I can't even picture it.

[cami715]

16. Nor did he shoot anyone while he was VP!

[terrya]

5. 3...4...heart attacks?

It's outrageous. But given his poor health problems, I'm not surprised.

[sam sarrha]

12. ...4 heart attacks.. damn... there is hope, he would have been dead a long

time ago but the Devil is afraid of him and doesnt want him starting wars in hell.

[Lorien]

7. No wonder they can't relate to us peasants and our quaint

need for health care.

[Tulum_Moon]

10. He has a whole medical team

I could swear I heard on the TV as it played in the background, "The VP's medical team administered treatment"!!!
He travels with a mini hospital. I cant even get in the emerge cy room for this cold and fever with out waiting 5 hours. They dont care if I die without insurance.
I am so sick of these people!

[cami715]

17. And when he traveled to Iraq several weeks ago

didn't they outfit the plane he was on as a personal hospital?
Well, we all know who's paying for all of this!

[Warpy]

8. While tens of millions of us have no health insurance

and reduced access to care even if we do have insurance at work, Cheney has a fully stocked ambulance and a highly trained crew following him around at all times and we uninsured and underinsured people are paying for it.

If this sort of thing doesn't wake the boobs on the right up, what will?

This is the sort of excess in the face of the artificial poverty of the masses that caused Madame La Guillotine to have such a long employment history.

I already know how to knit. I'm just waiting for the tumbrils to roll.

[BrotherBuzz]

9. When Cheney travels overseas he takes an Airstream II

Rumor has it that the rig contains his crashcart equipment.

[deadparrot]

11. Yeah, it's definitely Clinton's fault.

:crazy:

[fryguy]

14. POTUS and VPOTUS both have them

along with dozens of staffers, uniformed security, plain clothed Secret Service agents, and a counter assault team. adding in all the advance prep necessary for even the most routine travel, Air Force Two (and all the personnel that goes along with that), and transporting necessary vehicles, we're actually talking in the tens of thousands of dollars for any trip either takes.....

.....oh yeah, and their wives and children also have security details wherever they go and will remain entitled to them for the rest of their lives......

[Virginia Dare]

15. Not only that..

I believe I read sometime back, probably during the last campaign that there is a private hospital room ready and prepared for him at every location he travels to.
