[Divine Discontent]

4. uh oh...

nothing better happen or Patty Boy will claim this is GOD seeking retribution on the Bush Adm. for chastising him for attacking Prime Minister Sharon!!!!!

[rfranklin]

2. We are all very concerned...

Very, very concerned.

[malaise]

5. desperately

no no no :cry: :cry: :cry:
:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[izzie]

12. We should be as if any thing happen to him Bush would do this

Put in some nut like he has all over the place. I can see Jed or Rice. May God help us all.

[hwmnbn]

14. Yes, we are!!!.......

:evilgrin: :rofl: :evilgrin:

[rucky]

3. What's Pat Robertson going to say about this one?

[BuyingThyme]

6. This is what he gets for murdering thousands of God's children?

No...

[Divine Discontent]

9. I don't speak for GOD ALMIGHTY

but can he be anything but saddened/angered by these right wing nutjobs???


I suppose I should feel concern for Dick...


then I think of what he's done to over 2100 American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis and I think...

I could really care LESS, it's up to God.

8. probably something about having a lesbian daughter

but they probably wont complain just like they didn't when Alan Keyes said something disgusting about her. they only complained at Kerry saying he loved her.

[salin]

10. induce his listeners to send money and to pray

then when it turns out (predictably) that the VP is okay - he will claim it is because his followers sent money and prayed (in that order.)

[LosinIt]

7. I'll bet the international community will be clamoring to send best wishes

tee hee hee

[malaise]

16. Especially this section of it

11. Can you spell congestive heart failure?

I can

My father had exactly the same medical history as Cheney: heart attacks, implanted defibrillator,occurrances with gout and SHORTNESS of BREATH- congestive heart failure

I watched my father die last year; he started with retaining fluid,shortness of breath, walking with a cane, it started in March 04 by August 04 he had already advanced from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair as Doctors tried to deal with fluid and adjusting meds

Cheney will be seeing a lot of his Doctors

[salin]

13. Cheney seems to be like a cat

with many lives - how many times has he been rushed to the hospital - and then a few hours later is declared fit and is seen driving away. No reason, imo, to assume this is any different.

[merbex]

21. If I had access to my father's chart it would be close to a HUNDRED

times that he was brought to a hospital and his "box" adjusted (that's what we called his ICD - defibrillator)

But once the syptoms of congestive heart failure occurred the doctors were stymied. The medications are finely balanced and the congestive heart failure was rapid.

We are going to see a huge increase in Cheney going to the hospital for treatment

My whole family (father too) felt Cheney"s medical history alone should have precluded him from consideration as Veep

[hwmnbn]

15. Nah, he just needs an oil change......nt

[Garbo 2004]

19. That was my first thought. n/t

[EFerrari]

17. On CNN, they were clearly reading from the WH fax

"His shortness of breath is a side effect of a medication for a foot problem, not related to his heart history."

Somehow Karl knows this when a doctor probably could not at this point.

These guys are going to try to manipulate their own funerals.

[merbex]

25. Of course it has to do with his heart history: he is probably filling up

with fluid as a result of a deviation in heart meds (see my post from above regarding congestive heart failure)

I lived through this wih my father last year

Even if they say it's gout they have to adjust his meds and then congestive heart failure gets a "toe hold" (forgive the pun)

Congestive heart failure is progressive

I stand by what I wrote before: Cheney will be seeing alot of his doctors

[nine23]

26. RE: "Congestive heart failure is progressive". Delicious irony...

[EFerrari]

29. Oh, I agree. And that is why the WH had to fax a denial.

And that's why the baubleheads had to read it.

[JI7]

34. is it common for shortness of breath to result from foot problems ?

and what is the foot problem anyways ?

[EFerrari]

35. I don't know. But for CNN already to be claiming that

his problem is a side effect of medication for this foot problem is just silly. No doctor has come to that conclusion that I know of.

[A Simple Game]

36. Karl probably called Frist for an opinion. n/t

[mopaul]

18. I'll pray for his black, frozen, mechanical, reptilian, hollow soul

[LunaSea]

20. I bet the Iraqis

send him a nice Hallmark card.

[rucky]

22. Hey, Cheney. Satan called. He wants you home by dinnertime. nt

[leveymg]

23. The Iraq-Plamegate-OSP-AIPAC early retirement program is on schedule

Sharon-Cheney-Bush. One-two-three.

When you screw your own intelligence people and military -- and lose a war -- there are consequences.

[XanaDUer]

24. Don't worry.

Unlike over 40 million Americans, he'll have the BEST medical care and be sent on his way.

[DemoTex]

27. Medical shorthand for shortness of breath: S.O.B.

The Veep is S.O.B.. Probably due to indictment jitters and scandal jim-jams. I predict a quick "retirement" for health reasons and a presidential pardon on "humanitarian" grounds.


S.O.B.

[mopaul]

28. his escape plans are well planned out

i'm sure they've all set up plans to keep them out of prison, but the best layed plans often screw up.

[flordehinojos]

31. absolutely brilliant and ... yeah Lord let it be, oh please let it be, "

"indictment jitters and scandal jim-jams." oh, let it be the heat of truth getting too close to him... and let it be revealed how neither bush nor cheney nor any of them can stand the heat of truth. let them be revealed for the shameful shams that they all are! oh God, please!

[BuyingThyme]

30. Morans for Dick:

[goodboy]

32. "foot problem" ??? = F.I.M.S. or Foot In Mouth Syndrome

I hope you get well soon, DICK. You've got to stay alive so you can be tried for your war crimes and then rot into dust and slime in prison where ou belong,

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

33. Head up his ass determined to be an "unrelated medical condition"...

Imus just had a nice quip about how fewer speaking engagements would solve the "foot problem" by allowing him to KEEP IT OUT OF HIS MOUTH.

He's supposedly OK, so I can stop burning my vigil candles now.

:evilgrin:
