27. Given his history of heart problems

Mon Mar 26, 2012, 03:45 AM

Mar 2012

I also wondered why he was considered a good candidate. The man had a heart attack behind his knee for crissakes! I can't believe that who he is didn't have a lot to do with this. Glad his gold-plated lifetime guvmint health insurance was around to help pay for this!

And frankly, if he croaks tomorrow, I'll break out the champagne. This war criminal is responsible for so many young lives snuffed out - Americans, Iraqis, Afghans - and god knows who else. Fuck him - a piece of shit is a piece of shit, period. And he's a pretty evil piece of shit.
