Cheney Has Heart Problems Again!

Filed under: Old People > Politik > John McCain

dont-feel-so-good.jpg

Vice President Dick Cheney had to cancel a trip to Illinois today, Wednesday, after a routine examination revealed an "abnormal" heart beat.

A Cheney spokeswoman said that the doctors found "a recurrence of atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart."

The VP was then scheduled for an outpatient procedure to correct his heart beat.

And while the condition is no emergency, it shows that Cheney's age - 67 - is catching up with him.

And, on that note, we'd like to remind you that John McCain is older than Cheney by 5 years.

That's half a decade.

Hmmm!

    he's gonna have a heart attack soon.

  2. 2

    Gee thanks for the IGNORANT reminder. Who cares, I'd rather have experience over None! Just more Ageism coming from the same people screaming Racism. The Old Card, is Getting Old…shut up little Ghost Writer and get over it!

    I'M SUPRISED THAT MAN HAS A HEART!! I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE JUST HAD A BIG BLACK HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS CHEST!!!

    It's really discusting that Cheney's health would be mocked in his way. Perez come on man, I have your back, but this is too much. And, don't compare McCain's health. That is as morbid as discussing the fact that Obama has had three assassination attempts. Not good and not appropriate!

    And you have problems scoring ween.

    yawns.

    If i'm not mistaken, Ronald Reagan went on to win the white house in 1980 at the ripe age of 70. Two years younger than John McCain. Not only did he serve one term, but two. So your point is not valid.

    Perez, it's unfair to compare Dick Cheney's health to John McCain's. The two have nothing to do with one another.

    Evil old Republicans rule.

    and not only that, he went on to become one of the best presidents in history. That says a lot after cleaning up the crap Carter made.

    Get over the age thing. People at 12 years of age can have that health condition. Its ashame but true. And yes, I agree with Arrora. Rather have someone with experience than none!

  22. 22

    He needs to thin that vampire blood of his. Give him the rat poison they give all the old people these days since they don't know what else to do. Coumidin!
    .
    Hard to leave the White House is it? A little stressed his world is crumbling before his eyes and all the evil he has inflicted upon the world!
    .
    Not a whole lot of sympathy here.
    .
    McCain will be next. This campaign is getting to him. And he thinks he can handle being president? Not with all the medicine and money in the world!!!
    .
    Bye bye Dick! Go get some rest now.

    go ahead haters….have at him

  24. 24

    Come on Perezzy, John McCain may be older but he has a clean bill of health as stated in the report that was given to the media a few months ago. Dick Cheney has a history of heart problems…and gun problems, and swearing problems…

  25. 25

    Hi Smirks

  26. 26

    Scary…can you imagine if McCain wins, then dies and Palin is president?!! GOD HELP US ALL!!

    Re: Melissa is always right – You don't! A little Obama in ya'?

  28. 28

    Okay, okay, Perez. You will have your wish and Obama will be president. And I will be back to remind you of what a terrible mistake America made…but it wouldn't be the first time. Get your prayer mat ready.

  29. 29

    Age isn't the cause of heart disease, Dr Perez. Your risk goes up with age but age isn't the cause or we'd ALL die of heart attacks. He doesn't have a great heart. And rhythm disturbances are actually the leading killer of people UNDER the age of 50. It's called a sudden cardiac death. It's NOT a heart attack, but a rhythm problem. And my sister died of it. LOTS of people have atrial fibrillation and don't know it.

    Re: arrora – Yeah, but how long will that 'Experience' last?
    If (God forbid) McCain win the election AND dies, who are we stuck with?

  32. 32

    you perpetuate ageism. you insinuate that age or sickness makes someone disposable. if i wrote that he had HIV, would that mean we should ban all homosexuals from office? i expect more from someone who claims to be progressive. you are a stupid cow. i hate Dick Cheney; i think he should be in jail. but heart problems can be managed, if one has them— same ages do not equal same ailments. you do not make logical conclusions. i support Obama, but this is a low blow.

    This must be why McCain keeps hiding his medical records from the press. giving the press an hour to look over thousands of pages of medical history…some of which was blacked out just lets everybody know that Mccain is hiding something.

  35. 35

    Re: Big Black Dick – damn straight! lol

  36. 36

    now americans, imagine mccain winning this election, having a heart attack, and then having sexy sarah palin in for him.

    Re: sweetpiece – I told you earlier, I shat what Obama I had in me out this morning!

    McCain has no history of heart disease. I'm sure he's smart enough to take care of himself especially since he had some surgeries in the past that could have resulted in serious or even fatal conditions if he didn't take care of them. I second the Regan comments too. He was a lot older, and let's not forget that he had Alzheimers. Granted it didn't go full blown until after he was at office, but it's a slow ongoing process, not BAM you have full blown Alzheimers.

  40. 40

    and people half his age have heart problems as well…and some people SMOKE - weird, you like to call everyone else out on their dirty habits but where are all the pics of you precious Obama with the cancer warnings? Does he get a pass from you?

    Re: mamajud – I'm sorry mamajud, but i have to hate on him. He's evil and I will rejoice when this freak and Bush leave the White House. Sorry ;)

    Just thought you might want to know, but Cheney's heart is in a box in a room underground. What he's having a problem with is the hole in his chest where it one lived. There seems to be a vacuum there, no heart, air, blood, nothing.

    biden is the same age as cheney yet no one is talking about him going senile. 72 may be old, but mccain has shown he's in good health.
    attack the issues not the candidate please.

    Re: SethRogen is a Badass. :]

    Palin, and if you believe that she isn't a good candidate, then you are buying into all the garbage the media is putting out there. She may not be the most eloquent person but she turned around Alaska better than a Republican and Democrat already there.

    And, if Obama is elected, and God forbid, he is assassinated or dies, we are left with a guy who can hardly remember his name. The guy doesn't know when the depression was and talks about historical events that never happened. That and he told a handicapped man to stand. So, you want to talk moron, look at these two freaking idiots.

    Just so you know having an irregular heartbeat can be caused by many different things. My dad was 32 when he was diagnosed with it, hes 41 now and hes in perfect health. He took some meds and was fine, no heart attack, no stroke, NOTHING.
