What is Cheney hiding behind those wacky coats?

[goclark]

I can't get those funny coats out of my mind.

Why would he be in Texas, in August, in a coat made for Autumn?

[Tyranny_R_US]

1. A respirator?

[SteppingRazor]

2. His reptilian, alien body?

[Maddy McCall]

3. His oxygen tank?

Seriously, I'm guessing that he's on oxygen. One of those small oxygen packs you can carry slung over your shoulder would conceal nicely under the barn jacket he's been wearing.

[goclark]

7. Doesn't lack of oxygen affect the brain?

Maybe it is not pumping fast enough cause he acts like the Mean Gene has invaded his body.

[Not_Giving_Up]

4. His external heart

The only way the blood keeps pumping.

[WinkyDink]

5. Maybe

JimmyJeff?

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. He is a sick man that probably can't regulate his body temp.

Cold all the time is my guess.

[goclark]

9. Seems like I've seen a photo of him

in a suit.

Is it only when he goes outside that the temperature doesn't register appropriately?

He looks like a tan turtle in that Texas photo.

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. I don't really know. It is so weird that I am surprised that nobody

asks him about it.

[goclark]

14. The Right Wiing Press would not dare to ask

a question to the Coat Boy!

[LisaM]

8. Remember when he wore that snorkel jacket

when he was in Germany last year?

[goclark]

11. Didn't it have fur around the hood?

I can't remember the details but I recall it was a horror.

Is this the first time that a President and a Vice President have been ill at the same time?

I rememberf FDR of course and JFK had his problems too.

This time we have two that should be in Assisted Living and Rehab.

Pretzel Boy and Coat Boy are a Duo!

[Minstrel Boy]

20. At a freakin' Auschwitz memorial!

Wearing a toque with the words "Staff 2001"!

[goclark]

23. Thanks for the photo - he was an insult to America! IMO nt

[catzies]

58. Thanks for reposting that. His hat is from some Jackson Hole WY ski resort

And look at those hiking boots! He's dressed appropriately for the weather, but certainly not for occasion.

If that had been VP Al Gore, or VP John Edwards, we never would have heard the end of it.

[Cleita]

12. Bionic parts?

He does have a pacemaker doesn't he. Maybe he needs more artificial help?

[knitter4democracy]

19. It's a defibrilator, not a pacemaker.

There's a big difference in effect and reason for it to be in there in the first place.

[goclark]

21. Why can't it be in a suit instead of wacky wear?

Don't get me wrong, if someone ill needs body armor, I'm all for it.

Now that I think about it, he has made no effort to get body armor for our troops, why should I care what his temperature is --- he steams me!

[Cleita]

22. So is a defibrilator that bulky?

The only ones I've seen are the ones the ambulances carry with them and they are pretty bulky.

[knitter4democracy]

34. It's internal.

He has the internal kind of defibrilator that's wired directly to his heart to shock it back whenever it stops.

It means that he has heart failure, which can lead to other issues, like feeling cold all the time.

[goclark]

37. Can't they find other kinds of coats

that would be more appropriate to sit in while representing our country?

He has stolen enough money from Haliburton to have an invisiblle coat.

[knitter4democracy]

54. *snort*

Invisible coat! :D

[goclark]

67. : ) Nothing would surprise me

with these criminals.

They have never given an explanation for the bump in *'s back nor the earpiece.

[David K.]

13. Probably a "Cool Vest"

Body worn air-conditioner worn mostly by race drivers. His chemistry has always been suspect. It looks like he has a serious problem with Texas heat or being anywhere that is not temperature controled at all times. IMHO.

[goclark]

16. He does not look fit for his duties

I don't understand how we can obviously see that something is medically wrong and reporters don't question him.

In my view, anyone that would wear a coat like that, in Texas, in August, is seriously mentally ill.

If it's not mental than what the hell is wrong?
We need answers.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Dick!

..What else?

[arcane1]

17. getting adjusted to the temperatures in Hell, perhaps?

:shrug:

[goclark]

18. He sure makes our lives a living hell that's for sure!

Do we have any doctors around here?

Can you imagine what would have happened if Big Dog had appeared in these wacky coats?

[Junkdrawer]

24. Say Dick. Could we get you a ticket on the London Subway???

I hear the Bobbies are charming....

[goclark]

27. I'd love to see him riding in the streets of Iraq!

Just think how hot our soldiers are and he could care less!

Maybe little wifey is hiding under there and pulling his strings as usual.

[theHandpuppet]

25. Hiding his new silicone implants?

Liz thinks they're swell!

[goclark]

68. I know he is hiding something and it's not good

How are we to know that he is not another Tim McVeigh type?

Does the Secret Service check him?

[Hubert Flottz]

26. A tail...

Demons have those I've heard!

[Wizard777]

28. He's hiding his Golden Parachute

Oh No! It going down. Pull the rip cord Dick! Pull The rip cord!
:wow: Oh Shit! So that's why they don't make parachutes out of Gold.


LOOK OUT BELOW!

:rofl:

[Avalux]

29. I think he's on oxygen

Is there a close-up of his face recently? The coats hide a mini-oxygen tank. The man is not well.

[goclark]

32. I agree,he needs Assisted Living or a Mental Ward

Why would anyone wear a get up like that, representing their country. and not even give a hint to the problem?

I do not feel sorry for him because he makes others so miserable.

They gave him that phony check up this summer and claimed him fit as a fiddle...right!

[catmandu57]

30. The affect of blood thinners

They probably have his blood so thin to keep it from clotting he's always cold, hence the coats. Funny thing is blood thinner is nothing more than rat poison, they just aren't giving this rat the proper dosage.

[texanwitch]

31. I agree, my father's on blood thinners and he is always cold.

:rofl:

[goclark]

33. I think something more serious is happening with Coat Boy

My mom is always cold unless it is above 75 degrees.
Mom is not on blood thinners however.

The difference for Cheney is that he is really THE LEADER of this country.

In both of his coats he looks spaced out to me.
Do blood thinners upset your ability to think clearly?

[Bassic]

35. He's really a robot from the Andromeda galaxy

:tinfoilhat:

[TommyO]

36. It's simple really...

They're to hide the hole where his heart used to be.

[Algorem]

38. a 4-hour Cialis you-know-what?

[Obamarama]

39. Would it be too much to expect you to provide a LINK to said photo???

It is SOOOOOOOO annoying when people post these "hit-and-run" posts where they mention something vague or reference a photo and then don't provide any background, links...nothing, nada.

Sorry to go off on you, but this has been happening a lot around here and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is annoyed by it.

[goclark]

40. Sorry to annoy -see post #23

I just returned from vacation and saw the video of him on television in a suede looking jacket.

I would never wish to annoy anyone,especially a kind DU poster.

[Obamarama]

41. I saw that photo. I was curious about the pic in your initial post...

The one of him in August wearing a fall coat.

Again, I didn't mean to go off on YOU personally. ;-) It's just nice to be able to see or get additional context to what someone is referencing in their thread.

[goclark]

42. Thanks for your kindness

I tried just now to do a DU search of the photo op in Crawford.
I could not find it.

It may be here but I didn't find it.

Thanks for understanding.

[spinbaby]

43. You can see it here

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050811/480/txsa11208112227

Looks like a barn coat or something.

[goclark]

46. Thanks for the photo in Crawford!

He is zipped up tight.

Rummy's coat is buttoned for a little bit of air.

Cheney must be really sick.

[Kingshakabobo]

44. What a motley crew. Jeez. What's with rummy's hobo outfit?

[goclark]

48. Look at George! He is so thin!

He was never that thin!

They are hiding their fear of us finding out what we already know ---they are criminals!!

[Carni]

45. Now that you mention it...what IS that bald lard hiding?

I noticed him and his coat in some footage last night and I knew there was something bothering me about his appearance but I couldn't put my finger on it! What's up with a coat in Texas in August?

[goclark]

47. Is there a doctor in the DU House?

It must be a terrible problem for them to make him look so out of the ordinary.

Or, maybe he knows the press won't dare ask him because he will give them his famous, "F U" and that will be the end of the questioning.

[Enraged_Ape]

49. I truly believe he's hiding some sort of life-support apparatus

Whether it be some sort of advanced defibrillation equipment, supplemental oxygen, or maybe some sort of infusion pump injecting God-knows-what, this bulky coat is hiding something that keeps him alive.

Blood thinners and feeling "chilled" don't explain this. He was wearing a huge bulky jacket in 100-plus degree heat and in at least 60% humidity. NO ONE feels cold under those conditions, regardless of what they're taking.

[goclark]

53. Wouldn't a Doctor be with 5 inches of the Boy Kings

at every second?

I'm trying to think of some medical device that must be worn and fed to the patient each second.

Any other condition could probably be addressed by a physician to the Boy VP KING in a "heartbeat."

[Enraged_Ape]

63. A doctor IS always within five seconds of this guy

I've also heard from people who have actually seen him in public appearances (on rare occasions) that an ambulance follows him EVERYWHERE.

No, this guy's health problem is obviously so bad that he can't appear on TV for even a few seconds without some kind of continuous life support. That's why I suspect that he's got either some sort of major defibrillator apparatus underneath his coat or some sort of pump infusing a heart-failure related drug.

Whatever the case, he is a seriously physically (as well as mentally) sick dude.

[goclark]

64. I do believe you

It makes me so angry that he can do so much evil in his condition.
You would think that he would fight to have stem cell research but all he does is work for mean issues.

[Enraged_Ape]

65. Pretty sad, isn't it?

It would seem that if you were staring death in the face, it would help put ALL things in their proper perspective. Even the loathsome Lee Atwater had a deathbed conversion, expressing serious remorse for his despicable actions as a Republican hatchet-man.

I guess some people truly are evil/soulless, and Cheney fits right into that category. I know he's got a wonderful place set aside for him where the dark bloody mouths chomp chomp chomp away for all eternity.

[goclark]

66. Well said,Enraged_Ape!

He must not have a heart at all.

[Snotcicles]

50. The straps to his manssiere.n/t

[Richard Steele]

51. It's called a "bro", dang it!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously though, I think he's packing
more personal life support than Darth Vader.

And the outfit he wore to the Auschwitz service
had nothing to do with his health,
except perhaps his MENTAL health.

That get-up was a deliberate "fuck you" to the WORLD.

[goclark]

55. Can't David Gregory or Helen ask him?

No one else seems to be brave enough to ask a simple question.

I think we have a right to know what he is packin'.

[Snotcicles]

61. It's hard to make Kevlar form fitting

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

52. The Ogre is hiding a necklace of small human skulls

of the children he's boiled and eaten over the years in his lair.

[mtnester]

56. The green pod growing from his stomach

[Crankie Avalon]

57. It's his dirty old man flasher's outfit...

..."Want some no-bid-contract candy, little girl?"

[goclark]

59. He sure looks like he would do any crime

Maybe Lynn will write a book about him one day.

[kskiska]

60. Aside from the coat, what's he hiding in his pants???

[Hubert Flottz]

62. A dick licker and prick!

A bag of trash!
