"Former Vice President Dick Cheney remains hospitalized after heart surgery last month but is out of the intensive care unit and could return home this week, his daughter said Sunday.

Liz Cheney said on "Fox News Sunday" that her father planned to resume fly-fishing and hunting after the operation more than three weeks ago in which doctors implanted a small pump in his heart.

Cheney has a history of heart problems, including five heart attacks, and the procedure he underwent is used in severe cases that require a mechanical pump to keep the circulation going, said Dr. Tim Gardner, former president of the American Heart Association."

Under normal circumstances, I wish for a person to quickly recover from his/her medical situation. However, in this case I have no feelings of good will towards crash-cart cheney. Is it too mean to say I hope he rots in hell?

[Lint Head]

1. Could return home this week? Unlike the thousands of innocent men, women and children

that this piece of excrement is responsible for killing and torturing.

[txlibdem]

4. Water board the Wealthy

Dickey gave us the solution to the class warfare the rich have been waging against us for so many decades now.

Wake up citizens!

[Submariner]

8. Well, as your photo shows, he is looking better this week.....DAMN!

yella-bellied coward.

[AtheistCrusader]

2. Of course he's fine.

He just needed an oil change.

[RC]

3. Is he well enough to go to prison yet?

[KoKo]

16. Reports were that Air Force One had to have a whole Emergency Unit flying in a Vehicle that

was uploaded into the "back room" of AF- ...just to take care of Cheney in case he collapsed and needed attention overseas or on US Trips.

I think it's a available if one Googles.

It was obscene that the media didn't report how much this cost us taxpayers! In another (more accountable time) he would have been forced to resign for HEALTH REASONS. He's a SCUM/SYCHOPHANT ..sucking off the TEAT of US TAXPAYERS so that he STAYS ALIVE...the UNDEAD...STAYS ALIVE!

DISGUSTING!

[Diane R]

5. Well, that ruins my day. On the other hand, the longer and more he suffers, the better.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Are funeral arrangements complete?

He's stlll breathing? Oh really? Damn, that is disappointing...............

[RC]

38. Well, it is reported he doesn't have a pulse any more, so why does breathing matter?

[TheCowsCameHome]

40. It matters because he's using air that could be used by someone worthwhile.

:rofl:

[CanOfWhoopAss]

7. If the good die young....

That old bastard probably has a clone in development for a heart transplant. Either that or they have a list of potentially matching "donors" that will have an untimely accidental death. Anyone have a bucket handy? If he won't kick it, hit him with it. :eyes:

[Thor_MN]

9. I'm sure my insurance would pay for three weeks of intensive care, wouldn't it?

Why isn't he kicked to the curb as having a pre-existing condition?

[kestrel91316]

10. ....

:cry:

And I had been so hopeful for a different outcome....

[Historic NY]

22. Cheer-up he doesn't have a pulse any more so........he'd.

better pray his batteries don't go dead.

[Sheepshank]

11. Damn

the mechnics are working, but this is proof positive that it ws never a real emotional working heart.

[daleo]

12. He will return to "hunting"

Shooting specially released domesticated fowl and lawyers.

He could probably do that from his hospital bed.

[KoKo]

17. In some critical FUGUE he shoots up another DUCK HUNTER? And..they Apologize for Him?

OMG! :eyes:

[kimmylavin]

13. Gosh, he really suffers under that "socialized medicine," doesn't he?

Four weeks in the hospital???
Do they even LET people stay that long anymore?

Last fall, I almost died after a car accident, and I had to fight for almost every single day of the two and a half weeks I spent in a hospital. I got kicked out and sent to a nursing home that had absolutely no way to care for me, and I was only admitted back into the hospital after my in-laws raised holy hell, and then promised to pay cash, if necessary.

I'm still paying the bills - AFTER what was supposed to be some pretty good insurance finished up - and I probably will be for another year or so.

This guy's had five signs from God that he should perhaps check out, and yet doctors just keep reviving his evil old body...

[KoKo]

18. "Socialized Medicine" is only for the "RICH & FAMOUS!" You didn't get the Announcement?

Woe to you if you have a terrible illness that isn't covered EVEN AFTER THE HCR from OBAMA!

Cheney and the rest will get it...You and Me...we get little...told to go home and die...and make sure we don't go back into Hospital...better to have your FAMILY AROUND YOU than SUCK OFF FUNDS FROM TAXPAYERS FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE that Medical Community and RW Blogsphere tells you that YOU are RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEMISE because you ate TOO MUCH FAT/CARBS/DIDN'T SEEK CARE EARLY ENOUGH ...or were otherwise UNFIT.

BUT if you are RICH...you get the most BEST OF CARE/PRACTICES. Including A MONTH IN INTENSIVE CARE!

UNBELIEVABLE!

[joe black]

29. Bless you.

I'm very sorry that happened to you.

[lunatica]

43. I'm glad you made it. You've got good in-laws!

[Jefferson23]

14. lol @ return to hunting. n/t

[704wipes]

24. really he will now celebrate his continued life by killing anything

defenseless that he can... ironic, huh?

[JDPriestly]

15. Silence is golden. If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all.

[Diane R]

31. Oh, I know. And I do feel guilty.....but it was just irrestible!

[JDPriestly]

33. The warning was actually for me, not for anyone else.

It's really tough to do the right thing sometimes. And I know the right thing for me is to say nothing. I don't know what is right for other people.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. ah so, Chandra Levi's heart couldn't stand being in The Darkman anylonger eh

I wonder who's gone missing in the last 2 weeks?

[Mnemosyne]

26. I just got huge

goosebumps reading your comment. Ya' never know with that bunch...

[AzNick]

20. Were he not rich, he would be dead

Just saying.

It is obvious this man will not last long with a machine pumping his blood. It is indeed a technology of the future, but to what end? Eventually we all pass. There are no better times to pass away but when you are in your later years, a few more months, with the cost in pain and intensive care provided, which amount of care could be alloted to several younger fellows, maybe it is time to decide to just pass away.

I'd rather die than live a very dull painful life connected to a machine. That's just me.

Use these funds, time and expertise to save kids and young fellows.

Now I am not Cheney. This man will try to cheat death and probably fools himself into believing he can do so forever.

[underpants]

21. Why are we getting his health information from his daughter and not the hospital?

This is not a HIPAA issue because as former VP he loses some of those rights.

[struggle4progress]

23. Live to 110, Mr. Cheney! Give us a good chance to put you on trial for your war crimes!

[L0oniX]

25. Ð å M Ñ â T î ø Ñ

[pitchforksandtorches]

27. May he rest in PIECES!!! n/t

[russspeakeasy]

28. Looking for body parts DICK ??

Another 6-8000 dead soilders should keep your 4F ass running
for a couple for decades...

What a waste of skin.......

[w8liftinglady]

30. I can only imagine what kind of patient he is...I could never be his nurse

[tnlefty]

42. But it could have some 'rewarding' moments...

like getting a bad case of the hiccups while inserting a catheter.:evilgrin:

[Aviation Pro]

32. This fucking poseur douchebag knows what's waiting for him....

...once he shucks his duct taped skin from his real lizard body.

[SLCLiberal]

34. Eff him...

He's a soulless bastard and I hope he strokes out sooner than later.

[Hekate]

35. Ugh. Cheney's an evil old git. Evil.

edited to add the obvious:

His final resting place will have to be in an undisclosed location due to the vast number of people who will be wanting to deposit their precious bodily fluids thereon. Grass will never be able to grow on that grave because of the poisonous miasma rising from beneath its roots.

Hekate

[cutlassmama]

36. +1

[Kolesar]

37. He has no pulse

He is the living dead.

[Vinca]

39. I was thinking about Cheney's current condition and I can't imagine

how much of a living hell it must be knowing your heart is not functioning and your life depends on a battery. And I can't imagine anyone more deserving to live out that hell.

[Jazzgirl]

41. Unrecc'd because I am sick of postings about

this dick.
