How's Cheney's Heart?

[dreissig]

How is Dick Cheney's heart these days? He was spirited away to a secret location today after a small plane violated White House airspace. It made me wonder if his ticker can handle the stress of being president.

If Bush died, we'd get Cheney as President, but he wouldn't last very long, I suspect. After a month we'd get Dennis Hastert, a not very appealing prospect either.

5. Just bits & pieces that I've picked up -

Cheney has a history of heart problems. He had a pacemaker put in about 2 years ago. He's had triple bypass surgery. To this day, he has a hole in his ventricle (right?) that could kill him at any time.

I also read that he eats a lot of garbage-type junk food that his wife feeds him..... hm. no comment.

I'd say if anything were to happen to Bush, Cheney would be a short-termer. I think that's why he hides out so much, and avoids demonstrations or any confrontations, period. He doesn't want to upset himself.

Guess money doesn't buy everything, does it Dick?

waiting for him in hell.

7. Haven't you heard the expression

Only the good die young! Oh, may not apply. He's hardly "young"! LOL!

Cheney will be rotting in his chair before they turn him off!

I think they've got him surrounded by physicians.
