Why is the jerk who runs this country DRINKING BOOZE at lunch?

[elehhhhna]

Really.

You'd think after his 80 heart attacks, thrombosis, knee replacements, etc. he's be on some meds that aren't compatable with corn-squeezin's.

[DoYouEverWonder]

1. Not to mention at least a couple of DUI's

and history of problems with alcohol.

[Mabus]

2. Secretly he wants to be Yeltsin.

:rofl:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. I was wondering about that myself.

When my stepfather had a heart attack and bypass surgery, he was told no booze. Period. He had been a drinker of both beer and Scotch before this, but he was so afraid of having more heart trouble that he quit.

[Julius Civitatus]

4. He had several DUI incidents in his past

Not making it up. Even more than Bush.
Look it up!

What's more: this guy has a heart attack every few days, wears a portable defibrillator, is on heavy heart medication.... AND HE DRINKS AT LUNCH... AND RIGHT BEFORE GOING HUNTING!!!

Now that's the epitome of "personal responsibility" right there.

Aren't you glad the "grownups are in charge."

:mad:

[Junkdrawer]

5. Where do you think "80 heart attacks, thrombosis, knee replacements"...

come from?

Exercise and living right? :shrug:

[Kingshakabobo]

6. Not to mention Knee-heart-attacks and gout (aggravated by beer) n/t

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. He claimed to have "A" beer, four to five hours before blasting his pal.

I've also heard that if you lose a tooth and place it under your pillow, the Tooth Fairy will leave you cash.

I don't see Cheney as a beer man at all. I'm guessing that one of the primary responsibilities of his Secret Service posse is making sure there's an always-flowing river of single malt Scotch for Dr. Evil to drown his sorrows in.

:evilgrin:

[Klukie]

11. I said the same thing to my hubby.

I'm picturing flasks.

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. pssstt! It's not the booze! It's the third person in the party

Mysteriously, she is nowhere to be found.

[oneighty]

10. Secret Service guys know

When this hits the court room will they be called on to testify?

If it hits the court room.

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Well, the timing certainly is interesting but noone has picked up on it

This morning there is "a rumor" posted on-line about Cheney and this lady. Within an hour of my seeing it, BOOM! Cheney's scheduled and interview with FauxViews!!! Was it this part of the story that got his ass in gear to meet the press (so to speak)?

[oneighty]

20. I do not like to speculate

but it do seem really strange. I take serious meds for heart condition. One Dr. tells me NO ALCOHOL 180 another more lenient Dr. tells me well one small glass a of beer day only. To me one beer is no beer so I do not drink at all.

So I always wonder is Dick really as sick as he would have us to believe?

I doubt it.

[gademocrat7]

13. Where is the Swiss Miss???

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. Good question!!! She surely has experience dealing with media

and could have come out in front of the cameras to defend Dick as the upstanding guy that simply made a mistake! :shrug: She WAS a witness, afterall.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

19. No, it's the combination of the booze AND the third person...

9. Didn't he also get hospitalized for gout in January?

I think some doctors were speculating that his symptoms were consistent with gout. Although gout is probably heriditary, I think that alcohol is one of the primary causes of aggravation of the condition. If he has gout and if it causes him to be hospitalized, is drinking any alcohol at all responsible from someone who might have to respond to an international crisis on a moment's notice?

[Stephanie]

12. And why am I paying millions for his health care, if he's drinking beer?

I have to pay for his personal doctor and ambulance following him around, just so he can go drinking at lunch?

[Deb]

14. Doesn't Cheney suffer from gout?

Not long ago he was hobbling around with his cane and sore foot. How stupid of him to drink any alcohol, of course, maybe he can't himself. I'm beginning to wonder if he is the one in the WH with a drinking problem.

[madeline_con]

15. Because he's an old sot from way back. n/t

[The Stranger]

16. Since you put it that way, I'd be happy to buy him a drink or five.
