Cheney looks like he has cancer

[zulchzulu]

I noticed how he looks thin and gaunt when he was speaking at Veterans Day festivities. Could it be? Anyone else notice?

[Dennis Donovan]

1. He's definitely sicker than he ever has been...

I noticed he sounded very weak on Veteran's Day, too.

[Posteritatis]

2. I've suspected soul cancer for most of the last decade (nt)

[indepat]

22. Such cancer is insidious, relentless, and insatiable as it slowly eats away at the

innards. :P

[Posteritatis]

3. (deleted dupe comment)

[YOY]

4. ..."has" ..."is"...what's the difference.

n.t.

[Wapsie B]

5. Hating him and all he stands for aside for a minute,

I've always wondered why on earth would someone like that not just want to kick back and enjoy his fortune? There surely was a more able-bodied person who would've been able to advance their cause?

[leftynyc]

Power

Some people get off on power more than money.

[Ishoutandscream2]

6. Saw a picture of him a couple of months ago, and thought he was thinner

But not the healthy kind of thin. That gaunt look when one is slowly slipping away.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

52. He's probably worried the new admin will unearth things about him!

[leveymg]

7. Gaunt, but certainly not thin. Reminds me of Bill Casey, Reagan's CIA Chief - took all the secrets

to the grave with him when he died of Cancer, just before he was scheduled to testify on Iran-Contra and the October Surprise.

A convenient passing.

[zulchzulu]

12. Bill Casey sure did take a lot with him...

Perhaps Cheney got the same "pat on the back" with the quick needle prick...

[leveymg]

28. No need for a needle. I think they pick'em for these roles because they are terminal

One minute after President Obama takes the Oath on January 20th, the next Attorney General needs to convene a Grand Jury. That day, notify the former Vice President that he's a person of interest to a federal felony investigation, and have the FBI escort Cheney down to Main Justice.

If we don't do something like that, we're going to lose Dick's testimony, forever. Make him surrender his passport, and put him under close surveillance. Don't let Dick leave town until he's testified at length under oath. If he fails to be fully cooperative, hold him in protective custody as a Material Witness.

He'll live long enough to testify, if the next AG acts quickly.

[Wapsie B]

24. Yes very convenient.

[SharonRB]

48. If, in fact, Darth is sick, the same thing could easily happen to him

He'll never enjoy his riches and we'll never learn the truth about everything.

[LynneSin]

8. This happens when you hide away in an undisclosed location in a dark cave somewhere

:shrug:

[mtnsnake]

9. He needs to go on True Blood and have that lady rid him of the demon inside of him

[Cleita]

13. Eh, that lady turned out to be a crook but he and she would

probably get on famously as two crooks with a lot in common.

[mtnsnake]

45. Yeah, that disappointed me that she was a fraud, dammit

Anyway, I love that show. lol

[H2O Man]

10. He has appeared

physically ill in recent appearences.

[soleft]

17. Remember how he hacked right after endorsing McCain

Lung cancer maybe? Emphasema?

[H2O Man]

39. Yeah, he did.

I remember thinking he didn't look well. There's also something about his facial expression lately.

[Sheltiemama]

58. Congestive heart failure?

Coughing is one of its symptoms.

[Cleita]

11. He's younger than me but it looks like his heart trouble

is taking over. I hope he lives long enough to be put on trial. It's not that I want revenge. It's that he will be taking too much information to the grave that won't see the light of day without an investigation and cross examination in court.

[changemonger]

14. he looks bad indeed

I almost feel sorry for him, but then I have to think about the thousands and thousands of innocents who've lost their lives in Iraq.

[kskiska]

15. He's 67 (68 in January)

Five+ years older than Junior, who's 62.

[AtomicKitten]

16. He's just manifesting on the outside what's on the inside. (nt)

[zulchzulu]

18. AK!

Belated cheers on the victory!

:cheers:

[AtomicKitten]

26. back atcha

[El Supremo]

19. No, his embalmers just forgot to do a freshen-up.

[AtomTan]

20. Do you think it's too early to get the party hats out?

[Generator]

21. He's being called back to his home planet

His time is done. Yeah, I noticed. The dude is going to die before being prosecuted. Like perfect timing for him as always. AH-STATE FUNERAL. Obama will say touching words, no doubt. Sorry but the bipartisan stick is stuck in my liberal craw.

[Ganja Ninja]

23. He's been a cancer on the nation for years.

Perhaps his deal with Satan has run it's course and he's about to claim his reward.

[Spider Jerusalem]

25. He has congestive heart failure. And probably associated early-stage renal failure.

The congestive heart failure was diagnosed a few years ago, so I'm not just guessing here; renal failure occurs in CHF cases because of decreased blood flow to the kidneys. (My grandfather had similar medical problems, and died a year younger than Cheney is now.)

[xxqqqzme]

40. My ex died of CHF.

Darth nodding off is also indicative,(again lack of oxygen. My ex would nod off at the end of a sentence, then wonder what happened to the conversation when he would come around.

[ZeitGuy]

27. Or like he's pondering his forthcoming indictment as a war criminal.

There's always hope, anyway.

[OnyxCollie]

29. Oh, well. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. nt

[Dukkha]

30. Cheney IS cancer

he's like that X-Files character Leonard Betts who's entire cellular structure was cancer that could regenerate.

[Arugula Latte]

31. I'll prepare now for the obligatory flame war when he dies.

--"Good riddance!"
--"Let's not be like the Freepers!"
--"Cheney caused death and suffering for millions. I'm not sorry at all!"
--"Can't we wait a few days until we piss on his grave?"
--"I hope the bastard suffered."
--"If you can't say anything nice ..."
--"Burn in Hell, Satan!"
--"Please, let's not do this."
--"Fuck you, Cheney! I'm glad you croaked!"

and so on ... and so on ...

[tritsofme]

60. Hopefully it will be many years from now.

So we all have some time to mature from such comments.

[randr]

32. Cheney is the embodiment and manifestation of cancer on our planet.

If Jesus is the physical representative of divinity in our world, Cheney is the opposite.

[xxqqqzme]

34. I noticed it right away.

Watching clips on Countdown - Whoa, darth is seriously ailin'.

[MurrayDelph]

35. Maybe that fire in his office

burned his portrait in Dorian Gray

[Occam Bandage]

36. Paging Dr. Frist, paging Dr. Frist, you're needed in the e-diagnosis room...

[Grinchie]

37. His debt to Satan is coming due.

And he's fresh out of young soldiers to sacrifice in the name of war.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

38. He's just thinking about the love he'll get from DU when he kicks the bucket.

[MilesColtrane]

41. D.C. must be running out of virgins to desanguinate.

[Island Blue]

42. Looks like somebody shrunk his head.

His body looks huge, his head tiny. Maybe he payed a visit to Palin's preacher man.

[Lucky 13]

43. Cancer is no match for Lord Vader!

[nebenaube]

44. The Vet standing behind him also speaks volumes with his gaze... n/t

[gmoney]

46. Emperor Palpatine? Is that you?

should put the hood up, he'll catch cold

[Ilsa]

47. He has arthritic knees, too, I think I heard. Yeah, he looks bad. nt

[JFN1]

49. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person

My niece was diagnosed with cancer at 14, and she's never hurt ANYONE...and lord knows he DESERVES it...

[WinkyDink]

50. He looks neither thin nor gaunt there. But since he is an evil traitor, I hope he is suffering in

some fashion.

That coat is huge.

[spanone]

51. cheney IS a cancer

[Dennis Donovan]

53. Dick in 1991:

[lib_wit_it]

54. When, if God gave a shit about America, cancer would have

taken the evil bastard. It's wasted now. Or worse.

[Sheltiemama]

55. If he's sick, it's most likely his heart.

Remember, he had to have it shocked back into a normal rhythm just a few weeks ago. Considering that we rarely see him anymore or even hear anything about him, I think he's sicker than we've been told.

[EastTennesseeDem]

56. It's irrelevant to Dick

He's like "I've survived 4,452 heart attacks. If I have cancer, fuck it."

[PCIntern]

57. Cheney was wearing a long coat when others were in sport jackets...

like Babe Ruth did towards he end...

[DangerousRhythm]

59. I noticed. I thought he had to weigh quite a lot in the past few years.

Notice how comparatively thin he looks in this screen capture from my TV:



O_o

[budkin]

61. If there is anyone in this world that deserves it, it's him.

[jazzjunkysue]

62. That's the trouble with vampires: They look alive. But they're the undead.

:scared:

[tabbycat31]

63. maybe the RNC should have taken him shopping

cause his coat does not fit him. He does look like he's ailing.

[smiley_glad_hands]

64. Sort of looks like the emporer from SW. Guess thats what unaldertated power looks like. eom

[Lucy Goosey]

65. He'd probably be long dead if he had the same insurance as the average American.

It's really hard to muster up any sympathy, frankly.

[Blue_In_AK]

66. We noticed a few days ago how gaunt he looks.

I don't think he's long for this world.

[Aviation Pro]

67. They dressed him with extra layers....

...it looks like his clothes are just hanging on his gaunt, thin, pale frame.
