WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney disclosed Wednesday that he has undergone surgery to install a small pump to help his heart work, as the 69-year-old enters a new phase of what he called “increasing congestive heart failure.”
“The operation went very well and I am now recuperating,” a still-hospitalized Cheney said in a statement.
Yes, when we hear about all the oil gushing into the Gulf due to Cheney’s crippling of the MMS, we’ll keep him in our thoughts.
When we hear about young men being killed in a war that has no good solution, we’ll keep Cheney in our thoughts.
When we hear about how Halliburton has screwed over our country, we’ll keep Cheney in our thoughts.
When we look at the astronomical debt that resulted from the irresponsible tax cuts during the Bush administration — one of which Cheney cast the deciding vote when Republicans couldn’t even get a simple majority in the Senate, we’ll keep Cheney in our thoughts.
Yes, let’s pray for Cheney. Or better yet, let’s pray we never get another SOB like Cheney in our government.
