Politico: Rumsfeld Hospitalized for Heart Treatment

[kskiska]

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was admitted to Washington Hospital Center for a heart procedure, although was released from the hospital earlier today.

Rumsfeld was discharged Thursday from Washington Hospital Center, according to hospital spokesman Leroy Tillman. Tillman said that because of federal patient confidentiality
regulations, he could not say how long Rumsfeld had been a patient, how Rumsfeld was doing or what unit had treated him.

A source tells The Crypt that the 74-year-old Rumsfeld was held overnight in a VIP section of the hospital, and that he underwent a heart procedure while there. Rumsfeld, the architect of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, served as Defense Secretary from 2001 to 2006, resigned the day after Republicans lost control of both the House and Senate last November.

1. Rumsfeld has a heart?

Didn't know that!

Joke aside, I wish him good health, because it's good for the spirit to wish good things to others.

9. That was my question.

I wish him everything he has truly earned.

2. So he has a heart, eh?

I wish that it had just checked out on him....

3. The old bastard can't handle retirement.

Not uncommon.

4. How would he know?

He still has an office in the Pentagon, hasn't left at all. Just lost his title, but he's still there "going through his papers".

5. More like his papers are going through a shredder.

7. His problem may have been brought on by

repetitive motion over the shredder.These days, I doubt he would assign this job to a minion. I cannot find it in my heart to wish him well.In fact, I blame the whole cabal for my evil thoughts.

6. That's ok. He'll just send his SSB storm troopers to go rip out a few hearts

from people living in impoverished countries. I imagine he goes through a few human hearts per year as his alien body rejects them.

8. Abu Ghraib and Gitmo taking their toll, couldn't happen to a nastier

man. I don't wish RRRummy any ill will, he's already reserved his own personal rung in hell for his many dirty deeds.

And he accomplished that all by himself.
