CNN: Cheney has a blood clot in his leg

[eleny]

On CNN right now.

He's back at the WH and doing fine.

Edit: He experienced pain in his leg this morning and was taken to the hospital. He'll be treated with blood thinners.

[bdamomma]

1. it is a traveling clot. use your imagination on that.

[Eurobabe]

37. from too much traveling, or the clot is traveling?

probably both. Couldn't happen to a more evil guy.

[porphyrian]

2. He's lucky to have a leg. Many of the troops he's abandoned don't. - n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

6. Truth.

Nicely said.

[karlrschneider]

3. Deep vein thrombosis, someone said.

n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

4. He has phlebitis like Nixon? Clots can break off and travel when

you don't dissolve it altogether and you move around.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. And he has an ethical clot in his soul

Probably caused by the soul being so shriveled and dessicated.

:P

[atreides1]

15. He would need a soul first

And ethics!!!!

[hippiechick]

7. Kef's revenge?

:shrug:

Seriously, with all the trouble Darth Cheney has had with his feet/legs over the years from his drinking & heart/circulation problems, should this be a surprise to anyone?

[Quixote1818]

8. Why didn't they send him to Walter Reed? nt

[bdamomma]

11. what a great idea, let him see how much freedom they are

spreading.

[tcfrogs]

30. Walter Reed is for veterans

not chickenhawks.

[nadinbrzezinski]

43. Correction Water Reed is for active duty military personnel

he still doesn't qualify

[eleny]

9. Update on CNN

Mild calf discomfort due to all his recent air travel.

[jimshoes]

10. I recommend vigorous

calisthenics. Running in place, jumping jacks, leg lifts, and squats.

[eleny]

12. And a long recovery at Walter Reed Bldg 18

[malaise]

13. That fugging cat

has too many lives

[Jeanette in FL]

29. No kidding

How many people do you know who have survived 4 heart attacks, bypass surgery, stents placed in arteries, aneurysm repair in both knees? And that is what I can think of off the top of head.

[dkofos]

14. Take him to Walter Reed immediately

BLDG.18

[natrat]

18. that is really funny:)

[paparush]

28. LMAO! that's priceless!

[mnmoderatedem]

32. unfortunately that would not apply

mr "five deferments" would not be treated at a military facility.

Still got a chuckle though. :)

[AnnInLa]

49. Perfect....man, you are quick!

[WI_DEM]

16. that can't be good for a man with a bad heart.

[Poiuyt]

48. That can't be good for a man with no heart

[all.of.me]

53. i thought that was a double post!

i had to read it a few times. touche!

[bdamomma]

17. can you imagine how many meds this guy is on maybe

those meds will not interact well together.

[jobycom]

19. Damn. Does this mean he'll have to cut back on public appearances?

[Gato Moteado]

20. they're getting ready to dump cheney for another VP

they know he's about to get knocked around because of the plame outing and since he's useless as a 2008 candidate they'll want to move the next puppet into place next to the chimp.

[subterranean]

38. Could be, but I doubt it.

I don't think being closely associated with the Bush administration would help any candidate in the next election. The only reason I could see Cheney stepping down would be if impeachment proceedings were imminent. And they aren't.

[DainBramaged]

21. I smell a replacement coming, A "Candidate" taking over

[frankenforpres]

40. would not surprise me

[mod mom]

60. Shocking insight. Please don't let it be jeb. nt

[Bitwit1234]

22. I think he had a problem on the way home from overseas and

they landed the plane in Singapore. But then he probably felt ok. Because they wheeled the stairs to the door. They would not do that for a problem with the plane. It was probably a problem with the passenger. cheney.

[Bitwit1234]

24. Have to add PS hope nothing happens to him because

they will get a new VP. I want them both to be arrested and removed at the same time. That way the country can see what monsters they are.

(Mama always told me if I couldn't say something nice not say nothing at all.:evilgrin: )

[POAS]

25. OMG, He and I now have something in common

He'll be taking Coumadin, that is rat poison. Most appropriate!

[rasputin1952]

26. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't on Warfarin or another "blood Thinner"

because of his previous heart condition(s).

I'm willing to bet it has to do w/the loss of ice from his heart, or whatever that cold thing is in his chest...

[POAS]

31. Warfarin = Rat poison...appropriate no?

[rasputin1952]

55. LOL...I was thinking of that after I posted...

:D

[Jack Rabbit]

27. So did Nixon just before the House Judiciary Cmte recommended impeachment

That's it! We don't need to give Bush a blow job. Phlebitis will do the trick.

[Beausoleil]

33. As Dan Ackroyd (as Nixon) said:

"Well, Abe, you were lucky. They shot you. Come on clot! Move up to my heart! Kill me! Kill me!"

[leftofthedial]

34. BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE!

BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE!
BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE!
BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE! BREAK LOOSE!




GO-O-O-O-O CLOT!


Cheney is a clot.

[in_cog_ni_to]

42. LMAO! I'll ditto that!!!

:rofl:

Go Clot Go!

[Mr. Ected]

35. Send Cheney To Iraq Immediately!!!

Let the blood clot attack him there so it can't attack him here.

[dogday]

36. A Blood clot in his leg and a bug up his ass...

among many other problems, but we won't go there.....

[Eurobabe]

39. Cardiovascular disease puts people at higher risk for DVT

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. Conflicted feelings every time

we have news of things afecting our fearless leaders

[NDP]

44. So, when will he be replaced with Romney?

[Ishoutandscream2]

45. Hello Karma? You're needed in DC

:evilgrin:

[Mr. Ected]

46. Cheney's Karma Ran Over My Dogma

[Sparkle]

47. That pain in his leg was no blood clot.

That was anxiety creeping up on him.

[grateful581]

50. thats too bad

That this evil bastard is back at the WH and doing fine that is.:evilgrin:

[jollyreaper2112]

51. hmm

Is it rude to be rooting for the clot?

[kestrel91316]

52. Good I hope it hurts for a while before another one kills him.

[windbreeze]

54. This thread shows Sheer humor....however...

leg clots/deep vein thrombosis..you do not move around....when I had one, I was imobilized in a hospital bed...there was NO going anywhere, NO walking...NO nothing, including moving around...I was in bed, on my back..I had a cradle that kept the covers off it, because they wouldn't even allow the weight of the covers to lie on my leg..2 solid weeks, I laid there taking blood thinners to dissolve the clot, as they poked me every day to test my blood..he had mild pain in calf...HAH...my calf pain was nothing short of excruciating...and my leg kept going out from under me...I left work in an ambulance, and checked directly into the hospital...while he's back at the WH??? hmmmmm, interesting....he's how old?...with heart problems...I was 18, walked several miles a day, and was healthy as a horse...so something is not making any sense here...maybe someone IS trying to do him in....

56. treatment has drastically changed over the years

I've had blood clots, the first one in 1968. As late as my last one, in 1996, they put you in the hospital on bed rest for 5-7 days while they thinned your blod. Like you, I was taken immediately to a bed in the hospital...they even bypassed admitting. Now, they treat most blood clots outpatient.

They also take clots above the knees a lot more seriously than clots below the knee.

[windbreeze]

57. interesting...

I wondered if anything had changed in all those years...
wb...

[salin]

58. send him to building 18 for his treatment.

[bleedingheart]

59. how hot will they have to heat the oil in his veins to make it less viscose?
