While in Tallahassee over the weekend to deliver the graduation speech at Florida State University, the local hospital prepared a room for Cheney -- complete with "flowers, a big TV set and Secret Service agents outside the door" -- "just in case anything might happen."

1. Flowers?

What a freak show.

I have heard that the secret blasting under the VP's residence was to install a full operating room under the house for Dick Cheney. If this is true don't we have a right to know how our money's been spent?

[Vickers]

3. Actually, they were black roses.

:shrug:

That's just what I heard.

4. Interesting rumor....

and I would not be surprised. I wonder how many heart "donors"
are also being kept alive for a "contingency"...? :eyes:

[Vickers]

10. "heart donors" Hahahahaha! Here's a thought: don't post your blood type

here on DU, as you might get "selected" to keep Cheney going.

11. Spooky, isn't it?

[kalian]

2. Hmmm.....

interesting. Maybe there IS hope. :evilgrin:

5. How many homeless people with a bad ticker get this treatment? And they

really would need it because they cannot afford it. The American people are paying for all the crap for the person who has tripple-crossed the country.

6. this is just propaganda

nobody believes that Cheney has a heart

7. Cheney has a heart?

Wow! That IS news! I would never have guessed that.

(Sorry, I just couldn't help myself).
:evilgrin:

8. Cheney has a heart?

Boy, that's news, indeed.

[Wickster]

13. I LOVE it!

Yes, indeed, we are definitely in the proper frame of mind! :-)

12. He has one?

[Doosh]

14. good lord, what's next? a hearse following from fundraiser to fundraiser?

I think all the morgues are put on alert whenever he travels.

[cliss]

15. Yes, (shakes head) I'm really worried about Old Dick.

Dick has had a long history of heart problems. If my memory serves me right, he has had a quadruple bypass surgery. He has had 4 heart attacks. Apparently his arteries were clogged with a lot of plaque "that had the consistency of toothpaste".

Apparently, Lynne's cooking was the culprit (hmmm?). The doctors diagnosed that she cooked a lot of greasy food, using a lot of meat.

I've also read that there's still a hole in his aorta which the doctors were not able to fix. So he's kinda walking on eggshells....doesn't want to get riled up or anything......take it easy.....

That must be why he hides out so much. He doesn't want to excite himself. (I wonder what the prison photos did to him?)

16. We're paying for it - we were sold a lemon

as they said on the Daily Show once.
