The 69-year-old Republican, who has had five heart attacks in 32 years, was said to be suffering “discomfort” and was taken to hospital for further testing.
A statement issued by his office said: “Former vice president Cheney was not feeling well and was seen this afternoon by his doctors in their offices at George Washington University. “On the advice of his physicians, he was admitted to the hospital for further testing. “He is expected to remain in the hospital over the weekend.”
He suffered his fifth heart attack in February and has undergone quadruple bypass surgery and two artery-clearing angioplasties. He has also twice been treated with electrical shocks for atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm that places him at risk of a stroke if not treated. (Source)
It’s amazing to me that good people who have contributed to life on this planet die random and senseless deaths every day while this repugnant toad continues to draw breath despite his body repeatedly telling him it’s time to check out. Is his urge to continue the destruction he and his capitalist swine have wrought powerful enough for him to cheat death?
Manco,
I reject your unfounded assertions about our valiant former VP. If it were not for Mr. Cheney’s steadfast courage and mighty will, in the face of absolute evil, you would be speaking broken Arabic right now. Your city’s skies would be raining down radioactive waste were not for his rapid and decisive response to Islamic terrorism. You owe your pathetic existence to great men, like Mr. Cheney, who undertake incredible responsibilities each and every day to ensure your survival. Think about that next time you America-hating, terrorist-sympathizing, commie scum.
Peppers: You’re out of your mind more than I thought if you’re defending this turd. How can a man who writes posts about the elite’s attack on the people of the United States have any concern about the prolonged life of Dick Cheney? This man is scum, pure and simple. A demonic psychopath who derives pleasure from the pain and misery of others. Fuck him…..and fuck you if you support this oily son of a bitch.
