Update on Cheney from FAUX -- something's fishy.

[grasswire]

"He's in his street clothes, he's walking around to get this test and that test. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. He's had an EKG and a readout of his implanted pacemaker. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL."

[grasswire]

1. Jim Angle is on the phone from the hospital

"Cheney came back from a hunting trip with a bit of a cold. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL."

[grasswire]

4. here's why this is fishy

NO cardiac patient walks from room to room for tests. Someone with shortness of breath rides in a wheelchair. And all the tests are done at the bedside. The patient doesn't walk TO them.

A bunch of bull.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Correct, but this iis NO ordinary cardiac patient

and the state will go to many a means to keep the masses quiet

See bellow about Yuri Andropov's ahem, cold... yuo remember that don't you?

[Nikepallas]

9. Last time I was in the hospital --my friend was there

She had tests done and was wheeled from room to room. I think it is hospital policy that EVERYONE in the hospital (who are not visiting) are wheeled from place to place.

[cyr330]

14. Yep

I work in a hospital, and one puts on a gown when a patient there. I had to go to the ER to have my figer sewn up, and guess what? I had to put on a gown. If CrashCart is there, he's got a fucking gown on, not to mention that he has definitely had a 12-lead EKG, so he would need to disrobe at least his upper extremities.

[American Tragedy]

22. Cheney in a gown

not a great mental image.

[rabbit2484]

33. Hope he's not poppin' wood

Like in Milwaukee

:puke:

[American Tragedy]

34. Has anybody gotten that image on the internet yet?

[leftofthedial]

15. no patient period walks from room to room

[WCGreen]

24. I just had a full day of tests

at the Cleveland Clinic and I walked all over the place. I had a gown on sometimes and sometimes I didn't.....

I have acute respitory problems so I am always short of breathe......

[leftofthedial]

31. were these scheduled outpatient tests?

or were you admitted on an "emergency" basis and then sent for tests.

Different circumstances. You're right. If you have scheduled outpatient tests, MRI's, etc. at a hospital, you just walk around.

[WCGreen]

32. Outpatient.....

Just passing on my experience....

Didn't realize there was a difference....

Although, when I was in hospital early last summer, they wheeled me around or came to my room.....

I was in for 33 days, missed the death of RR.......

[serryjw]

40. One of the best hospitals in the country

you MUST have health insurance!

[WCGreen]

41. And Medicare

So yes I have a vested interest in getting democrats back in office.....

[restorefreedom]

2. I love your sig line!!!!!!

Every time I see it I laugh my ass off.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. why am I reminded of.... Yury Andropov's cold?

Everything was normal, I swear.

[Eloriel]

5. My EXACT thoughts

Immediately sprang to mind: well, we've become so much like the old Soviet Union in its worst days that I have to wonder what this "cold" REALLY means. It used to mean Soviet leaders were DEAD (or perhaps just dying).

[Journeyman]

6. Gotta ask yourself. . .

If you were working in GW Hospital, would you want Cheney lumbering around in a hospital garment, his fat ass wobbling in the wind?

[Us vs Them]

10. Apparently he's wearing

Street clothes.

I love that.

[Pirate Smile]

39. I love that term. I tell my husband every day "I'll be down in a second

honey, I'm getting my street clothes on".

[Gin]

8. he can't go anywhere....we need the dick to go with the bush in the

white house.

[FINN201]

11. If Cheney resigns for health reasons, is Ken Lay still available?

[AntiCoup2K4]

13. Nah, it won't be Ken Lay, it will be the BCE's answer to Dr Joe Mengele...

Dr Kittykiller himself!

[cyr330]

12. You know what I bet?

I bet ole CrashCart finally and mercifully bought the proverbial farm, and the RW is shitting its britches about what to do. . .

[grasswire]

17. sounds like they're buying some time to me

...and I definitely think he's worse than they're saying. What's being done at the hospital could have been done at his house. They have the capability with him all the time to do twelve-lead ECGs.

[Warpy]

16. Pacemakers are interrogated

only when there's been a problem. Whatever is going on, if they've had to interrogate the pacemaker, something is wrong.

To tell the truth, I'm amazed he's lasted this long in office. He's not a well man (understatement of the year). I sincerely doubt he'll make it through another four years in office.

The only mystery is which wingnut Idiot will have around to be his VP and guide after Cheney goes.

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. FRIST

now truly want to have a nightmare, DELAY?

[grasswire]

19. a new update

The motorcade cars have had their motors running the whole time Cheney has been in the hospital. FAUX reporter just said so. Why would that be? Is that standard protocol in case of an attack on him? Or is it meant to show this is a temporary visit? A doctor (not HIS doctor) just said that he probably would be spending the night there. So are they going to keep the motors running all night?

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. I am now truly gonna page Yury to give us an opinioon on this

It is MORE SERIOUS than they are letting out

[Cooley Hurd]

21. It might be SOP to leave the motorcade running, just like cop cars...

...in front of the donut shops - get an EKG and a coffee-to-go.:D

[jean]

25. cheney probably has a special price on gas from the royals

[American Tragedy]

23. Well, I may be in the minority here, but I hope he's okay

and that he flourishes for the next four years, because I can think of some even worse people that Bush could potentially appoint to the office.

[Donna Zen]

27. Ain't gonna happen

Cheney will not be in office for the entire 4 years. The leg-up of encumbency is too much of an edge to let it go by. Whoever is named to replace Satanspawn is the heir appartent even with all of the strings showing.

I admit this is a wee bit early for the switch. I figured 2006. Nevertheless, Cheney is a very, very, very, sick man; and I don't just mean mentally. The regime of radical clerics never has released his medical records.

Looking at Frist or Racicot.

[TexasChick]

38. Exactly. How about General John Asscrack, for one? n/t

[SheilaT]

26. Two thoughts/comments.

First, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Second, everywhere Cheney goes he is followed around by an ambulance. Everywhere. Doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about his health at any time.

It's hard to say what's the scarier thought, that Cheney is actually running the country, or that he kicks the bucket and some unelected someone else takes over.

[Contrary1]

29. Well...

Cheney is actually an "unelected someone"...twice now.

[Donna Zen]

28. How can everything be normal?

Nothing is normal in 'merica.

[Generator]

30. They couldn't find the heart obviously (coverup!)

[billyskank]

35. Probably means he's dead. n/t

[billyskank]

36. According to the Beeb, he's left hospital

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4010175.stm

[doni_georgia]

37. MSNBC web page - Cheney left after three hours tests negative
