Dick Cheney sounds like he is gasping for every other breath after speaking.

[Ilsa]

And coughed once real hard as they cut to a commercial. I'm wondering if he is using accessory muscles for inspiration of breath. Speaking intermittently like that wore him out, I think.

[nradisic]

1. Die already!

I'd give money to see him slump over on the air....he is going straight to hell!

[Canuckistanian]

10. No, no, no, keep him alive as long as possible

Even if he's in an iron lung, he can still be wheeled from the courtroom to a prison cell.

[Dulcinea]

27. Cheney is one of the undead.

That requires a stake through the heart or a silver bullet or something like that (just kidding, Agent Mike!)

[krispos42]

2. Maybe it's time for some kind of breathing aid

[flying rabbit]

32. lol

Duzy

[Stephanie]

3. I noticed that too

He sounded like a heavy smoker.

[SpiralHawk]

Could da Dickster have the Chickenhawk Swine Flu?

Republicon draft dodgers are especially susceptible, they say - so this could go massively epidemic through Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly and the rest of the Republicon Chickenhawk Leadership...

[gratuitous]

4. So pilled up that he rattles when he walks

Cheney will never face justice for his crimes. If the authorities ever meander their way into closing in on him, he'll just skip his meds for a day and quietly slip away into the waiting arms of his infernal dark lord.

[Warpy]

8. On his deathbed, he'll realize it was all for nothing

because he can't take his power, his reputation (well, what he thinks it should be) or his wealth with him.

That will be his hell, you know.

[Ilsa]

17. Yes! The best justice is knowing he'll discover that he can't take it with him! nt

[underpants]

5. I think the Devil is having second thoughts about their deal too

even Satan is sick of hearing him, it is a little too much "over the top" even for him.

[lpbk2713]

6. Thanks for brightening my day.

:thumbsup: :hi: :thumbsup:

[Mr. Ected]

7. "How Do Reptiles Obtain Oxygen?"

Just like humans. But perhaps more labored.

[pearl]

12. Dick Cheney is a very sick man

I don't think he is very long for this world. He still has the capacity to inflict some harm in Obama's admin. with as previously reported "moles" left around. This man creeps me out so much.

[Cirque du So-What]

9. Perhaps Death will give him a terminal waterboarding

and then some small measure of justice will be exacted in the universe.

[Ilsa]

18. Yes, the waterboarding of Cheney may have begun already. I wonder

what med regimen he's on, and if he's got a diuretic in there already. I would bet "yes".

[NV Whino]

11. I'd be happy to see him convicted posthumously.

It obviously isn't going to happen while he's breathing.

[grasswire]

13. congestive heart failure?

Many people have predicted that over the last few years for him.

Was his face ashen with rosy cheeks?

[Ilsa]

16. It's hard to tell with stage makeup, but yes, he's a bit rosy-cheeked and very pale.

I think they may have put makeup on him. His scalp was lightly tanned and shiney, but his face is pale. I'm a nurse and I used to work with CHF patients alot, and that is what he reminded me of. My suspicions are that his public tv appearances are well-choreographed to cover his appearance and make sure he doesn't have to provide long-winded answers. The camera would switch back and forth between him and Bob Schieffer. I think that was to allow him to take his big noticeable breaths.

His cough at the end of the segment sounded like CHF to me. I'm not trying to diagnose the old evil goat, just report on what I observed about his appearance. I think CHF is a reasonable conclusion based on what I saw and heard. It also looked like his torso was rising when he'd take those big breaths.

[csziggy]

23. With CHF, doesn't the patient feel as though they are drowning?

As they pretty much since their lungs are filling with fluid?

If so, it is poetic justice for Cheney to suffer from this.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Looks like his karma is about to run over his dogma.

[notadmblnd]

14. Congestive heart failure getting worse?

I wonder who he's stalking for a replacement part?

[Ilsa]

25. Wanda Sykes said in her comedy routine, I tell my kids if they are outside and

two cars pull up and Cheney is in one and a stranger is in the other, get in the car with the stranger.

Darth Dick is definitely untrustworthy.

[MadMaddie]

35. That was damn funny!!

[lpbk2713]

15. Here's another good thing about the rethugs being in the minority.

If and when Cheney and his monkey expire during the next eight years or so they will have to forget about naming any federal buildings or properties after their worthless asses. To this day it makes me want to barf when I see or hear anything named after that lowlife sorry-ass RayGun. They changed the law when they had the majority so they could name an aircraft carrier after that SOB. I'd like to see the Dems revoke that if only they had that much backbone.

[TuxedoKat]

19. Agreed.

Every time I hear the words "Reagan National" for National Airport, it makes me cringe inside. Hopefully some future generation will be smart enought to change it back.

[Ilsa]

20. I don't mind the carrier as much as the airport. I hate that foreigners

coming here believe that we idealized that empty suit.

[Pool Hall Ace]

29. I was just by that airport the other day.

I absolutely refuse to call it Reagan National. It's just National, or DCA. I have no such issues with Thurgood Marshall Airport.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. Air traffic controllers refer to it as National.

As a group, they are not big Reagan fans.

[Ilsa]

33. Yes, the irony of naming any airport after Raygun is lost on many people. nt

[gblady]

21. he sounds very ill...

perhaps that is why he is in the limelight so much...
knows his time is short.

[madrchsod]

22. i noticed that a few weeks ago....dickie is in really bad shape.

[Swede]

24. He does that in all his Star Wars movies,too.

Once you notice it,you can't miss it. :shrug:

[cwydro]

26. Why doesn't he just fade away?

And leave us alone.

[Joe the Revelator]

28. Sounds like CHF...when my dad was first diagnosed with it, the tell tale signs were staccato coughs

and the shortness of breath. I wish this terrible disease on no one, not even Cheney.

[spanone]

34. it's the vile, evil shit he spews
