Tests Reveal Blood Clot in Cheney's Leg

Something smells in here. Smells like a Democrat ...

Okay, I'm not too good at this game, but I bet you are!

Uh,oh... did I forget to change my diapers today?

You'll neve catch me Batman, waaaa!

Ugh that would be perfect if I had spelled never with an R

Ooooh... another image just showed up (image 2), or maybe I missed it. Indicate which image your caption is for. The winner gets added to my watch list -- the best I can offer right now.

Doc, fix the blood clot, or else I will shoot you in the face.

Mine #5 is for picture #1.

"I hope this doesn't cut into my counting and re-counting all of my money time."

Rumble grumble blood clot grrrrr! grumble...
Quadrumble arterionumble....
Dumble go fumble yourself bumble grrrrr!
Grrrrrr. GRRRRR! (clawing motion with hands)

And you wonder why he has high blood pressure.

rasklat man!

see a man from jamaica for a trans.

I believe that our emotions and capacity to love are what make us human. Clearly, by this definition, he's not human. Give your empathy to the families of the thousands of young men and women who he's killed in Iraq -- at least they'll know what to do with it.

enigma, well said. And don't get me wrong, Cheney and Bush put an anger in me that is unmeasurable but even at that, I don't wish them ill health.

Thats no clot. Thats his soul trying to escape his body.

So this EVIL Terrorist blood Clot will now be blamed for Dirty Dicks inability to Travel,

Not the Fact he is the most hated War criminal on the Planet and everyone wants to kill him !

not a chance
he has played this game before
remember he has a bad heart? personally i think he is all bad not just his heart.
I think the only reason he is alive is the devil doesn't want the competition.
PNAC has plans to take over hell since most of them will be going there anyway.

I think the only reason he is alive is the devil doesn't want the competition.

That, and it takes more than a blood clot to kill the un-dead.

That, and it takes more than a blood clot to kill the un-dead.

Like a blast in the face with bird shot?

That's newsvine in a nutshell.

Go to the thread about Coulter and defend her, daweb. They're waiting for you.

Nathan, is that an excuse, or an explanation? Newsvine is ours, we can change it. Lets do the right thing instead of the wrong thing.

Dennis, it is not about 'defending' Ann or anyone else, it is about being consistent and correct. (even if I think 'right' is correct. )

How many deaths of innocent people is John Edwards responsible for in comparison with Dick Cheney?

If you ask yourself this question (without being biased), you might realize why people dislike Dick Cheney so much. Now don't get me wrong, calling for his death in an open-forum is certainly questionable... but having intense distaste for him is easily justified.

Oh and don't use 9-11 as an argument to illustrate the point of your retort, because if it wasn't for foreign policy implemented over the past 40 years by people just like Cheney... that tragedy would never have happened.

it is not about 'defending' Ann or anyone else, it is about being consistent and correct.

Not very consistent, though.

While I too disagree with wishing death on anyone, even this vile bastard, it's not quite the same as what Coulter did. This is one guy; she leveled an ad hominem attack at a large group of people (not just Edwards). These comments are made in a thread on Newsvine; her comments were made in a public speech that she knew (or should have known) would be picked up by the national press.

It's just not the same thing.

Dennnis,

You are replying to daweb, dude. Looks like daweb is a BIG time FAN of Mann Coulter. Look at all the articles/seeds that daweb has on his column about Coulter just from last month alone.

Hah, he's used the coulter tag 21 times!! Hmm... I wonder if they are one and the same...
Hahahaha.

As soon as a presidential candidate endorses one of the two Newsvine members you quoted like Mitt Romney did Ann Coulter, we can continue this discussion. In the meantime, you are talking nonsense.

I find it interesting that I see so few complaints about comments like

Less creative than others.... but I hope it @!$%#ing kills him.
and

too bad they didn't find it in his brain after an autopsy

and yet there are such complaints about Ann Coulter making an off colour joke about 'The Breck Girl' John Edwards.

You may have also noted that they weren't getting voted up in support either and there's high chance they'll get collapsed by negative feedback.

I find it more interesting that you're more concerned what a couple of anonymous bozos on the internet are saying, than what someone who is a face for the Republican party is saying at grand events.

Mann Coulter

It looks like Frank Black has a protégé.

Hehehe. Gotta admit, that was funny, dude. But, still not as funny as "Mann Coulter." I told my buddies about it in a local 7-11 and they were laughing so hard that the counter clerk gave us dirty looks.

Lets do the right thing instead of the wrong thing.

DAWeb, I will give you one thing, you are consistent.

You consistently seed distorted misleading trollish articles by Ann Colter.

You are consistenly patronizing in your responses to my comments.

You consistently insist that you dislike distortion and smears while seeding them.

Your are consistently critical of the tone of comments you disagree with it and oblivious of the smears and garbage of those you agree with.

Unless being correct means being a completely hypocrit you are far from correct.

Yes you should do the right "thing" stop promoting the smears and lies of polemecists like Ann Coulter.

Let me see if I get this right:

Left hates right, right hates left.

Yep and there's hell to pay if you are in the middle!!!

Dekkster, you are a quick study. And MGJ is right... hell to pay if you're in the middle. I always have to preface my right-apologetic comments with, "while I'm no fan of..." and people still don't like me all that much. Oh well.

But really, I don't think I've ever hoped for a successful assassination (of OUR elected leaders, that is), or a grave terminal illness. There's always the possibility that the next guy is worse.

-I don't want the Vice President to die. But I do want him to recover at Walter Reed in one of those rooms that our vets have been forced to recover in.

MG,

How about punishment for their crimes. I would think it's fair that Cheney was punished for his crimes, but maybe not death. Plus, For me, I feel that imprisonment and hard labor would be a punishment far worse than death.

Insenstive! I'm sorry, but the Bush admin has gone way beyond any sensitivities to them. When you see the Devil, do you want to sympathize with his position? Have they shown any sensitivity to anybody in the last 6+ despicable years of blight on this country? If they show some sensitivity, then maybe we might, too. I suppose you forgave Jeffrey Dahmer and thought it insensitive to make jokes about cannibals? Poor Hitler was just a misunderstood artist? When people have sunk this far into evil and despotism, I fail to sympathize at all.

Eh, MGD, the Hitler and Dahmer analogies are a bit over the edge. Godwin's Rule. Google it.

publius - Let's not be too aghast. The schadenfreude on this board, however coarse, is only an inch deep. No one's cheering over anyone's grave here. Cheney's not dead. In fact, he's not one single bit worse than he was yesterday. He has a clot in his leg, and he has the best possible medical care in the world, and if it's removable it will be removed.

I don't agree with those of us actually rooting for Cheney to die. But I don't think Cheney suddenly deserves more sympathy than he did yesterday either, and it's probably unreasonable to expect the same liberals tossing around Cheney-to-Goebbels comparisons yesterday to suddenly speak gently about him today. Remember: he's personally taken it upon himself to be the bane of liberalism. So from a liberal perspective this is bound to look karmic, and liberals will naturally wish to point it out.

So an old guy with a history of heart and circulation issues develops a blood clot in his leg, and it was discovered before it did any damage. I say: Feh. Good for him that they caught it, of course. But it's hardly a surprise - if you'd have asked me yesterday, "what's the odds Cheney's carrying a blood clot somewhere?" I'd have given you 50/50 odds, at least. He's old, after all, and he's already had heart surgery. And it doesn't change my take on the man - namely that his vice-presidency has damaged the Constitution and our once-peerless political leverage overseas. In the process he's hurt my son's future opportunities and added enormously to his future burdens, so I take it personally. I won't wish Dick Cheney dead but I don't care to extend my gentle feelings toward him one iota further than that.

MGD,

I don't know where you stand on any issues, but I believe your attitude is what is wrong with public discourse today. I am not singling you out, but rather commenting on the level of discussion that exists today.

I point out that certain comments are insensitive, and you point out that the object of those comments are insensitive, implying its ok to behave in such a manner. The attitude is that if the "other side" are idiots, than it is perfectly ok for me to act like an idiot as well. This is problematic on both the left and right sides.

what do you have against tinyurl? i think it's nice that the author used tinyurl to make the link fit on the page a little better. really long link that go off the side of the page or go onto a 2nd line are more annoying...

-Awesome!

-Very good!
