[Stephanie]

Seriously, is he going to make it?

*edit* to add: Can you believe this man is only twelve years younger than Dick is?

1. I thought the VP debate was on Thursday.

Its on tonight???

[JerseygirlCT]

3. 9 pm Eastern

[neuvocat]

4. <smacks forehead>

How could I have not known?

[Stephanie]

5. Yes darling - tonight at 9:00 pm

The next Pres debate is this Friday.

[aden_nak]

2. Never forget. Cheney is only 12 years older than Edwards.

[tridim]

6. Whoa! For real?

That's really a stunning statistic.

[Stephanie]

7. He looks like Edwards' grandfather

Evil doers have ugly faces.

[aden_nak]

9. Edwards is 51 and Cheney is 63, if I remember correctly.

[Worst Username Ever]

13. Cheney born in 41, Edwards in 53

They don't look anywhere CLOSE to that. Wow.

[aden_nak]

19. Frequent use of the Dark Side deteriorates the very flesh of the user.

[coalition_unwilling]

22. All that death, destruction and money-grubbing

tends to wear one out.

[starroute]

24. And Kerry was born in 1943

So he's only three years younger than Cheney (born in December '43 to Cheney's January '41.)

Being evil sure does age a man quick-like.

23. Practicing EVIL takes it's toll on the body....

[northernsoul]

8. looks like he's holding down vomit

That's the kind of sick smile of a man who knows it's all downhill from here...

[AlCzervik]

10. How old is Cheney? Edwards is 50 i think.

[Ishoutandscream]

11. As long as he remains seated

nt

[Old and In the Way]

12. Mr. Potter

World Class War Profiteer.

[dogtag]

14. The debate is after nightfall so Count Crashula

will be at his liveliest. A nice cup of blood before going onstage and he'll be in his element. Edwards should wear a garlic necklace and carry a mirror.

[Strawman]

15. Maybe that's their October surprise

Fake heart trouble, or illness as an excuse to replace Cheney with Rudy.

[Cleita]

16. Not Christian of me, I know, to hope he doesn't make it,

but if there is a God.............

[Stephanie]

18. NO! Cheney must live!

If he croaks then Bush picks McCain or Condi or somebody. ANYbody is more appealing than Dick. We need Dick on the ticket!

[Owlet]

17. A legitimate question rarely addressed

Here's a recent article that may be enlightening.

20. It's been1413 days since Cheney's last heart attack,

but who's counting?

[Stephanie]

21. LOL!

I sure hope that defibrillator doesn't go off during the debate tonight. I'd sure hate to see him writhing on the ground in excruciating pain.

[greekspeak]

25. I am sure he is well enough

He generates energy from evil. Not many people have a metabolism like that.

[Malva Zebrina]

26. Why do you think Baker lobbied for no handshake and for

sitting down rather than standing? Cheney will be out of breath if he had to bound energetically across the stage and shake Edward's hand. He can only handle a slow walk according to the pictures of him arriving at the RNC. He most likely also cannot stand up for ninety minutes without becoming compromised. Why does anyone think he is always in an "undisclosed location"?

His lips are purplish in that picture also.

He is a very sick man--if anything Republicans should take notice of who it is that has to replace the president if he should be elected.

[Poiuyt]

34. No handshake??

I hadn't heard that. I knew about sitting rather than standing. Cheney is always sitting down at his campaign appearances. He's obviously not well enough to assume the presidency.

(I think Edwards should offer his hand anyway. Just to be gentlemanly!)

[OneTwentyoNine]

27. Invading countries illegally and killing innocent people ages a person....

Dick is em..."living" proof...

28. "Hate" is a great motivator. He'll make it. You can count on it.

He thrives on spewing misinformation and personal attacks. Now, if he had to be civil, it might kill him. remember, this is the forum that the Bush campaign insisted on.

[moondust]

29. Heart and lung machine standing by offstage.

Due to a perception of weakness.

[MsConduct]

30. Maybe he can feign a heart attack.....

in the middle of the debate and get a bigger percentage of the sympathy vote for his puppet boy.



Peace

[mitchum]

31. It wouldn't bother me if the sonofabitch keeled over 5 minutes in

[Vickers]

32. Why am I paying so much for real human blood on the black market

if I'm just gonna end up looking like a Dick anyway?

:shrug:

[Gloria]

33. There is actually aspects in his chart that may be an indicator

that he may feel sick.

He's got transiting Moon semisquare (45 degrees apart)) natal Saturn (in the 10th House and awful close to Uranus, too) throughout the debate...it becomes exact at 21:50 et. Definite discomfort, blockage, possible depression during his likely judgmental attitudes. Moon can rule health, and it is transiting the 12th House, the area of the chart that can rule health and serious states of illness. Saturn, also hovering in the 12th House by transit, puts echoes the emphasis on the health issue. So, there is a real possiblity that Cheney might not be feeling very well....

[Stephanie]

35. Well he has not been under this much pressure in four years

This is the first time he's come out of his hidey hole to answer real questions. I'd be surprised if he didn't get ill.
