Filed under: Politik

Vice President Dick Cheney was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat on Monday.

The discovery was made during an examination for a lingering cough.

Cheney's spokesperson says:

"The vice president visited with his doctors this morning for evaluation of a lingering cough from a cold.

During examination he was incidentally found to have an irregular heartbeat, which on further testing was determined to be atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart.

Later this afternoon, the vice president will visit George Washington University Hospital for further evaluation and, if indicated, cardioversion, delivery of an electric impulse to the heart, which is a standard treatment for atrial fibrillation."

      I HOPE THIS CREEP DIES AND BURNS.

      MAYBE HE WILL SHOW HIMSELF IN HIS REPTILIAN FORM BEFORE BITING THE BIG ONE.

      Buddhists say when your body dies you soul survives and has to go through a cleansing process which can be horrible if you carry a lot of negative baggage. In the vp's case he will need our prayers because he has caused much suffering and misery on humankind. His sould will suffer pure torture.

      Many of you people have no idea what you are talking about. You talk all kinds of crap but you have no idea how government works, how congress works, or how foreign policy works. You say what you're told to say and react how you're programmed to react and you don't care to examine or question. You spew out little catch phrases that others have designed for you. You scream over the debate and shout down all dialogue. Dick Cheney will have achieved 100 times more than you ever will in your puny, pathetic, lazy life. You couldn't run a hot dog stand, let alond the department of defense or a major corporation. Go ask his grandchildren if he has a heart. Ask his wife, daughters and friends. Tell them to their face you wish he would die.

      Barak Hussein Obama is 50% white. So why does he claim he is "black"? Black people always want to be black when they can get something out of it.
      Obama is wasting his time. Hell will freeze over before he would ever become President. If "African Americans" are so proud of their heritage, then they should go back to Africa .

      Frank: Give me their phone number and I'll call them up and tell them I wish he would die. Better yet, publish it here and they'll get flooded with calls wishing that bastard dead. Many of us are well aware of how government works. That's not the issue here. What matters is that this bastard and his idiot boss called a war that never needed to be. And they go on and on and on. How many of their offspring are fighting. Zero. They're fucking cowards and yes, the world will be better off without them.

      Re: yo mama be a white girl – Ignorance must be so comforting. Barack Obama states that he is a black man, because he is a black man. The world, and people like you in particular will never see him and think, "Now there is a white man, let's allow him the privilege that comes along with being white." While Barack's mother was in fact a white woman, she knew, as Barack knows, that the world and the society in which he would grow up, would never accept him as a White person, and therefore he would have to be a strong, educated black man, and THAT is why he states himself as a Black man. He is not denying his mother, no the heritage that he inherited from her. He simply does not subscribe to the belief that that heritage will allow him any privilege in a world dominated by white people, especially IGNORANT white people.

      Ignorance is NOT bliss, and it can be deadly(!)
      1.) There are different forms and severities of Atrial Fib.
      2.) If not corrected, Atrial Fib can cause a bloodclot (which leads to stroke) because often the blood within the atrial valve of the heart just 'quivers' instead of being pushed back out into the bloodstream, leading to coagulation of the blood within the heart (think jello). A clot thrown lose can migrate to the lung or brain, ergo a stroke. Generally blood thinners are administered to dissolve any existing clots and as a preventative before cardioversion is administered. Those with a history of Atrial Fib often live on bloodthinners like Coumadin so that cardioversion can be performed without delay.
      3.) Cardioversion does not in itself cause stroke, although stroke can indirectly result from Atrial Fib (see # above).
      4.) To say that Atrial Fib is not serious is a mistatement; it can in fact be fatal. It is increasingly common however, in our aging population. More than 2 million Americans have Atrial Fib in some form at this writing.
      5.) Patients with a long history of heart ailments (i.e. Cheney) are at a much higher risk and not really good candidates for cardioversion.

      Reasons for Cheney's BAD heart: lier, cheater, drug user, war masterminder, theif taker, adulterer, CHRISTAIN REPUBLICAN. you and all your christain republican friends are the devil's spawns and all of you deserve to rot in hell. As for the rest of the CHRISTAINS out there, try memorizing economics and history lessons instead of just bible quotes and maybe your next vote won't place this nation in dire circumstances.
