WASHINGTON -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney says he believes he'll have to make a decision on whether to have a heart transplant given his medical history.

Cheney tells NBC in an interview that he's getting by now on a battery-powered heart pump, which makes it "awkward to walk around." He also says he hasn't made a decision yet on a transplant, but adds that "the technology is getting better and better."

Cheney tells the network in an interview, "I'll have to make a decision at some point whether I want to go for a transplant."

On another matter, Cheney complimented President Barack Obama on his handling of the Tucson shooting rampage. Cheney says, "I'm not an Obama supporter by nature, but I thought it was one of his better efforts."


I guess real national heroes jump to the top of the line for their transplants!
:sarcasm:

1. Fuck you, Cheney. Get in line.

[Bonhomme Richard]

2. Only if he gets one with a pre-attached stake. n/t

[no limit]

3. Is there any evidance he would get to jump to the top of the line?

[CLANG]

5. Yes, it's called bribery.

[no limit]

6. Are you familiar with what the definition of evidance is?

Who do you have to bribe to get to the top of the list?

14. I don't know what "evidance" is. I do know what "evidence" is.

Power and money always talk.

[walldude]

16. Nope none at all, and I'm sure that Cheney,

since he is such a wonderful and caring human being will take his place in line just like everyone else....


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Are you fucking kidding? With the health problems this guy has had and his age he shouldn't even be in the running for a fucking transplant. Sorry if his artificial pump is an inconvenience...

4. Um, shouldn't a heart transplant be a necessity rather than a choice?

He's "deciding" whether to have one? Sounds like there might be plenty of people who need it more, then.

[Initech]

7. Wouldn't you have to have a heart first?

[lpbk2713]

8. As long as the taxpayers are paying for it.

Where are the GOP death panels when we really need them? :shrug:

[Deep13]

9. Blood type matching may be a problem.

There can't be too many donors with diesel-powered hearts.

[yurbud]

10. you would want one too if your heart looked like this (actual operating room photo).

[eShirl]

11. he's right; here's the x-ray

[lpbk2713]

12. I think we should start calling him the Cowardly Lion.

" ... if I only had a heart."

[brendan120678]

15. Tin Man.

Cowardly Lion was in need of courage.

[lpbk2713]

17. True

My bad.

[Vinca]

13. After watching part of that interview, I told my husband it was prove positive there is no God.

If there was, a bolt of lightning would surely come from the sky and hit that battery pack.

[dembotoz]

18. to bad we cannot take away his insurance and ship him to arizona and then we could
