Dick Cheney Has No Pulse

Dick Cheney's new implant—a ventricular assist device—needed 'cause his heart is screwed, "leaves most recipients without a pulse because it pushes blood continuously instead of mimicking the heart's own pulsatile beat."

[toma29]

He'd still kick Scarecrow/Cowardly Lion Obama's @ss on the trip down the Yellow Brick Road.

Bionic Cheney.

Darth Cheney.

Were he to die, his IQ would reduce to only 10x of Obama’s.

[Porterville]

It is funny how life mimics art :)

[FelixFelicis]

Kinda interesting. Apropos of nothing, it reminds me of a guy I know who was born with some complications at birth, needed surgery, and ended up having the blood vessels on one side of his neck rerouted in some way. As a result, he has no pulse on that side. He's fine now, but when he played college sports, he had to keep a note on file that in the event he was ever knocked unconscious, the paramedics needed to take his pulse on the other side... so they wouldn't accidentally pronounce him dead.

Change the title or pull this thread. You scared me.

All hail Robot Nixon.....LOL

[TigersEye]

That’s the post I was looking for. lol

Robo-Cheney: Dead or alive, you're coming with me.

[toma29]

I wonder if Edwards did the little rub of the palm with the index finger bit. No, I guess he didn’t. He’s still alive to create love children.

[DoughtyOne]

If he were to die, his body temperature would remain above Obama’s IQ. It would be debatable if he would still have more brain activity. And he would still be the only one with a valid U. S. birth or death certificate.

We don’t exactly know how, but Obama just happens.

[cripplecreek]

You filthy hippies won’t have Richard Nixon Mark XII to kick around anymore.

I’ve gotta make a RoboCheney in the morning.

[Williams]

I feel terribly sorry for Vice President Cheney that he required this device, it must have been a drastic situation for them to take this route. He has been a model of perseverance and bravery for all suffering from chronic illnesses.

[Army Air Corps]

RoboNixon would singlehandedly crush the NVA...

[trumandogz]

Cheney in 2020!

[toma29]

In all seriousness, I wonder if Cheney’s in line for a transplant. Anybody here know?

[cripplecreek]

He knew how to speak to the media as well.

That’s no robot, it’s a Space Marine! Ultramarine to be exact.

I had a baby on Dick Cheney’s birthday. I think it was Vlad, January 30? Anyway, I sent Mr. Cheney a birthday card and a picture of little Vlad, and I got a nice note back about how much he and Lynne liked babies, and what a good day it was to be born upon.

He’s my favorite politician ever.

He can still vote...

[muawiyah]

Sometimes the top guys have a sense of personal bravery ~ when Cheney agreed to this hookup it reminded me of Hubert Humphrey serving as an experimental testbed for several procedures and drugs related to bladder cancer.

Actually, over the years we've all noticed people we might not have even liked demonstrating a rather casual disregard for personal safety in a quite dangerous situation.

There are libraries of books about the topic. The discussions go all the way back to the invention of writing.

We judge people on this issue.

[muawiyah]

What I've heard around town (WarshDC) is NO. Doesn't mean he's not, but this device has been used extensively in candidates for transplants ~ usually a month or so before the event.

Apparently it's better at its job than they'd imagine so it is now being touted as the main attraction.

he can still vote..

Not only can he still vote, he can vote legally.

And they have two hearts

Not only can he still vote, he can vote legally.

Putting him in a different league than a democrat without a pulse....

[A CA Guy]

Sounds like a candidate for a future heart transplant.

[Lancey Howard]

[mirkwood]

i HAVE TO SAY....

[Revel]

“Sounds like a candidate for a future heart transplant.”

Not under Obama death/Care.

[mirkwood]

i AM LAUGHING SO HARD...

Cash is king.

[reagan_fanatic]

I love that one!

[toma29]

With that look, it’s a wonder how he made it through that ordeal without having a cornary. That wasn’t when he said f-you in the Senate, was it?

[SoldierDad]

Liberal interpetation of this news: “Dick Cheney is a heartless B@st@rd!!

[6SJ7]

"It reminds me of the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Now they will tremble again - at the sound of our silence. The order is: engage the silent drive."

The Hunt for Red October

[carton253]

Ditto for me.

[SoDak]

That’s not blood, it’s ice water. Man I wish Dick Cheney was President.

[Lazlo in PA]

[Humal]

“You scared me.”

Me too! I know his health is in bad shape, but I thought, “Oh, NO!” Didn’t I read that he is on the list for a heart transplant?

[hellbender]

Cheney has been dead for a long time. Halliburton technology maintains a semblance of life.
