I wasn't aware he had a heart. I thought ghouls lived off the blood of others

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe's 2014 re-election campaign took an unplanned detour to the hospital over the weekend.

"I went in for a routine colonoscopy that everyone gets and was sent to the hospital instead for open-heart surgery," Inhofe said Monday. "The doctors said, 'Your colon is perfect, but your heart is what we are worried about.' "

Inhofe, who will be 79 in November, underwent quadruple-bypass surgery at St. John Medical Center and will be sidelined for at least a few more days.

"It takes a few days after open-heart surgery to fly on an aircraft," he said.

A man can be seen using a megaphone chanting: "If you all hate Thatcher clap your hands."

The former Prime Minister died peacefully this morning aged 87 at the Ritz Hotel after suffering a stroke.
