WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Dick Cheney is still in the hospital after heart surgery in early July.

Daughter Liz Cheney says her 69-year-old dad is out of intensive care and hopes to return home this week. She tells "Fox News Sunday" that he's already planning trips for fly fishing and hunting later this year.

Dick Cheney has had five heart attacks since he was 37. In his recent surgery at a northern Virginia hospital, Cheney had a small pump installed to help his heart work.

Pulseless Cheney with a gun on a hunting trip. The visuals are ghastly. Just keep him alive long enough to see his oligarchy crumble. For that matter, keep me alive long enough to see it.

6. Its a good thing he's not paying for his healthcare
   
Too bad millions of far nicer people in similar situations have to die because they cant afford their healthcare while an asshole like him keeps living.

No matter how many times you say that doesn't make it true.
Besides did you all bitch and moan when Bill Clinton had his heart surgery and the care he received?

8. If it had been an average patient with average insurance...
   
they would have been sent home 3 days after surgery. (If they were fortunate enough to stay that long.)

 :whatever:


Now for the reason I brought this over.

20. Jesus, aren't we living his greatest hits?
   
I think of him every time I pick up the goddam phone. Do you know how hard it is to have a conference call about marijuana when you know the DOJ is all up in your ass?

Yes ladies another productive citizen of DUmmyland. I say if you are stupid enough to talk about illegal drugs on the phone you deserve to get busted.
