Dick Cheney's condition
Is there a news blackout on Dick Cheney's heart pump surgery? Hardly a word about his progress.He was suppose to be out of the hospital last week ready to go hunting. Seems kind of strange.

1. "Cheney now officially has no pulse"
Seriesly! That's how the heart pump works. It circulates blood continuously, hence, no pulse.

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/health/2010/07/colbert_report_quotes_baltimor.html

When Dick Cheney got a new piece of equipment to keep his heart going, we wrote about how it works.

The device spins rather than pumps, so when we talked to Hopkins transplant doc Stuart D. Russell, he noted that means Cheney now officially has no pulse.


:rofl:

12. Dead bats? Nah ... I think he feeds nightly on the blood of Republican virgins and dead soldiers.

... then goes back to his coffin during the day.

And I hate the cold person I've become, but I could not possibly care less what happens to that bastard. Except that he rots in the deepest pit of hell for all his sins against decency and humanity.

23. "I think he's an evil bastard." Not really. Just a sick sociopath.
He can't help being the way he is. And sociopaths can't change.
4% of our population is made up of them. And they are very
ambitious and competitive. A combination of these traits make
them often climb to the top of the heap.

That's why we'll always have wars. Since written history
began some 7000 years ago, there has never been any prolonged
period where there were no wars.

The reason? Sociopaths. A high percentage of true Neocons are sociopaths.

21. Some say there is a cure, but in the words of the Bard
"...the evil men do lives after them", so I tend to agree.

10. I want to know if he's finally out of the hospital
Any public citizen would have been sent packing by now.
The coward is on his last deferral and he's terrified.
