Evil incarnate had another fibrillation today:
Edited on Mon Nov-26-07 06:19 PM by dave123williams
My jaw hit the floor when I got to the bottom of the article and got the whole history:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20071126/cheney-irregular-heartbeat/

"Cheney has had four heart attacks, quadruple bypass surgery, two
artery-clearing angioplasties and an operation to implant a defibrillator
six years ago. In July he had surgery to replace the defibrillator which
monitors his heartbeat.

The type of defibrillator Cheney has is used to prevent sudden death from
a very different type of irregular heartbeat that starts in the bottom of
the heart. The atrial fibrillation, in contrast, requires a different type
of treatment.

In 2005, Cheney had six hours of surgery on his legs to repair a kind of
aneurysm, a ballooning weak spot in an artery that can burst if left
untreated. In March, doctors discovered that he had a deep venous
thrombosis in his left lower leg. After an ultrasound in late April,
doctors said the clot was slowly getting smaller."

Little wonder he positioned himself for the VP slot.

3. I hope nothing happens to him or he has to resign for health reasons.
If he does, bush will have a chance to replace him. Of course the democrats with their majority, will have a chance to nix anybody outrageous. But it could cause a free for all and the republicans could gain support.

4. He's more machine now than man.
Apologies to non-Star Wars fans, in case you didn't get the reference.
