[mortimer]

Stay classy, y'all!

I guess the old one just couldn't pump pure piss any more.

The longer he lives, the more likely justice will be done.

You're an optimist.

 

[BenBurch]

I thought he haqd some mechanical device that caused him not to have a heartbeat? Or is that what you're describing?

I may have missed something.

I heard they went through several replacement hearts because every time they'd bring one into the room, Cheney would automatically take a huge bite out of it from habit.

What a waste of a perfectly good heart.

So it's a big joke when the former Vice President undergoes heart transplant surgery, but when someone says "pretend its Obama" at a campaign stop at a shooting range, it's atrociously bad taste?

Yes.

 

[keale]

Does this make him a bleeding heart liberal?

 

[mortimer]

Yes.

Noted.

Noted.

They would be in an uproar if Rush Limbaugh had said the things they said about Cheney about someone else too, regardless of who it was about and why. It's funny how hypocrisy works. Disturbing vile hatred is so obvious to everyone except the one spewing it.

It's almost like there's a difference between a treatable illness and an assassination!

Edit: never mind. I'm going to bow out of this one.

I certainly wish Cheney well, because this is a very difficult ordeal for him.

But let's face it, there are so many jokes based upon the notion of "having a heart" or "heart is in the right place, etc" that it is just human nature to pull some out, especially among those who really don't like him because of past differences and the perception that he lied to the American people.

I don't have a stake in it....erm...

Assassination, murder, or advocating such just isn't funny, nor would joking about someone dieing from a serious operation be humorous. These jokes, near as I can tell just point out the humor of the situation. Cheney may even find some funny himself. I don't think any of them is really mean, or wishing death to the man. Perhaps I missed one, if so, then that is wrong.

How disgusting they wasted a heart on that bastard. He should be tried at the Hague and instead money buys all.

Well, you can judge for yourself.

Well, you can judge for yourself.

I generally do.

Yeah, saving a life and taking a life are so much alike.

See they want us to be saying something like "too bad the bastard made it through the operation" or similar, and when we don't they do not know how to react.
