Cheney remains hospitalized after heart surgery
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100801/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_cheney

WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Dick Cheney is still in the hospital after heart surgery in early July.

Daughter Liz Cheney says her 69-year-old dad is out of intensive care and hopes to return home this week. She tells "Fox News Sunday" that he's already planning trips for fly fishing and hunting later this year.

Dick Cheney has had five heart attacks since he was 37. In his recent surgery at a northern Virginia hospital, Cheney had a small pump installed to help his heart work.

(end snip)

Pulseless Cheney with a gun on a hunting trip. The visuals are ghastly. Just keep him alive long enough to see his oligarchy crumble. For that matter, keep me alive long enough to see it.

1. A least, we know where he is and what he's doing
The closest to prison he's gotten yet.

15. Pickle his brain.
One day we may extract them.

Brain extraction technology is just around the corner! I can feel it!

3. Maybe someone should start a rumour that he's dead....
...just like Osama bin Laden.

A couple of photoshopped images sent to Breitbart should do the trick.

4. He ain't going down without snarling all the way

And if he can go hunting he ain't going down without killing something too.

6. Its a good thing he's not paying for his healthcare
Too bad millions of far nicer people in similar situations have to die because they cant afford their healthcare while an asshole like him keeps living.

7. I wish him hell, er well.
I want to see this psychopath totally disgraced. Dying is too good for him. The right wing would put him on the same pedestal they have the fraud Reagan on. And I'd refuse to fly into any airport called the 'Dick Cheney Airport'. Can you imagine how right wingers would go onto a frenzy trying to get everything named after their conservative 'god'?

8. If it had been an average patient with average insurance...
they would have been sent home 3 days after surgery. (If they were fortunate enough to stay that long.)

10. They found him a new heart?
That would explain his plans for hunting and fishing trips.

Wasn't he near death?

18. Why would he "wait" for a donor?
Wouldn't he just go out and "get" one?

14. Plans for fly fishing.
Fishing in heaven, I'm afraid.

Loud-mouth Liz is so brave, it's just a matter of time now.

Are they putting odds on Cheney in Vegas?

20. Jesus, aren't we living his greatest hits?
I think of him every time I pick up the goddam phone. Do you know how hard it is to have a conference call about marijuana when you know the DOJ is all up in your ass?

21. Taking bets here.
Since the Cheneys aren't known for their truthfulness, I'm betting Old Snarl is hooked up to more machines than his heart pump and medicos are waiting for the family to pull the plug. If that old vampire is even conscious and it can be proved like with a video, I will buy a gold star for a starless DUer. It seems they would have called a press conference with Fox News to his hospital bed by now to show how he's so much better.

23. I think it's a rough patch for him too.
I want him to live and have a trial, but barring that, let the Lord make him his full-time janitor.

25. I want him to have a trial and end up in Leavenworth
Federal penitentiary, along with the rest of his minions, however, there will be no investigations or trials. It was already announced last week. If there is ever such a thing, it will be in the future after they are all dead and the only judgement they will get is that of history. I know. It sucks.

24. A bas as the guy can be.....
And I disagree with him on sooo many things, I have to give him credit on how he's dealt with Mary. He is light years ahead of his fellow Republicans on these issues. I like the way he talks about Mary and Poe and uses their names together, just like they're any other couple (which they are). I can't help but admire that. So many sons and daughters have far different experiences.

26. Like many bad people, he separates personal from
the impersonal and public. He's like Tony Soprano that way and other organized crime crooks, because that is what he is. Remember Tony was the big family guy and loved animals like the ducks swimming in his pool and the race horse one of his gang members bought yet he had no problem with murder when it was business.

It's not like Cheney is afraid of shooting people in the face.

38. "already planning trips for fly fishing and hunting"
Cheney once again avoids death - eager to get back to causing death.
