WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney will undergo his annual medical checkup on Saturday morning.

The checkup is routine, one Cheney usually has in July, said press secretary Megan Mitchell. "Overall, I think the vice president feels fine," she said.

Cheney, 67, has a history of heart problems, including four heart attacks, quadruple bypass surgery, two artery-clearing angioplasties and an operation to implant a defibrillator seven years ago.

After his physical examination last July, he had surgery to replace the defibrillator which monitors his heartbeat.

Heaven doesn't want him, and he's too mean even for hell to take him.

3. What does he do all day? Besides shredding documents? I only see him

when he comes out of his spider-hole to occasionally spout neocon propaganda to friendly audiences, or to have a cardiac tune-up. WTF does he do the rest of the time?

[DogPoundPup]

5. Yes, I agree ... free medical payments a tune-up on that

mechanical thing-a-ma-jiggy. It can't be a heart...that low-life creature has none.

17. Kenneth Lay as Jacob Marley, eternally encumbered by the chains he forged his whole life.

I like that. That's an image that's liable to stick with me.

"There's more of gravy than of the grave about you...."

9. And in the wake of this national tragedy ...

A. Preznit Bush appoints "Independent Democrat" Joseph Lieberman to be his new vice president, saying "This is a time for America to come together, heal, and win this war."

B. Preznit Bush appoints John McCain to be his new vice president, saying "This is a time for America to come together and unite behind the one man who can win this war."

C. Preznit Bush tells Fox News Channel, "Even though Mr. Cheney's heart has stopped beating, he can serve this nation as our vice president more effectively than anyone else, so I have no plans to replace him or demand that he resign."

11. I heard that the docs were

astonished that his heart was made of stone and he had no soul.

12. Cheney to step down (disappear) due to health reasons?

Naaaaah.

There's still six more months of blood profits to secure.
