I thought he didn't have a heart.

Of course this creates a communications problem; cheney's periodic cardiac issues, and the resulting notices in the press, were the only real clues that the guy ad a heart.

Does this mean a kinder, gentler military industrial complex?

Let's see.... 71yo male, history of FIVE heart attacks, pacemaker, angioplasty, heart pump implant... Something is fishy at UNOS. You mean to tell me they couldn't find a younger, more physically suitable recepient? Oh... I forgot, he has a government medical healthcare plan for elected officials.

think he would have gotten one, gov't health plan or not -- he's a uh platinum elite member and not one too troubled by rules. OT, but can't wait to read Seymour Hersh's book on his vice presidency
