Everything's Fine! Nothing To See Here!

Dick may be having heart problems, but you wouldn't know it if you asked the White House.

Vice President Dick Cheney visited a renowned orthopedist Friday while in town for a forum held by a conservative think tank, his spokeswoman said.

Cheney met with Dr. Richard Steadman to evaluate an old football injury to his knee, Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said.

But if you ask Arianna, she's got a different story...

At the Vail Valley Institute dinner tonight, I kept asking what those in the know here knew. Little by little, here is the story I pieced together: After the Secret Service secured the Vail Valley Medical Center, including the parking lot, the Vice President arrived under his own power and checked in at the orthopedic center under the name “Dr. Hoffman”. He was immediately whisked to the adjacent cardiac unit, suffering from what was described to me as “an angina attack”. The security was so high that a Secret Service agent wouldn’t let an ER nurse out of the bathroom that she had gone into just before the Veep arrived.

Oh stop Arianna! Dick's in the best shape of his life? How could you even suggest he might not be fit and healthy?!?

I notice that this post is kinda stale at best.
I think the bottom line is Cheney has no celebrity status.
Won’t see him on Entertainment Tonight being the socialite he is.
Most people don’t care.
Cheney is dry, has no chance of a successful run in 2008
I think he will retire this year.
Who do ya thing Bush will nominate. Condi maybe?

I don't think there's a coverup here. It's pretty standard to keep the administration's health issues secret. Think Kennedy, Reagan, Garfield (a tumor. Was it Garfield? Or Taft?), FDR.

LBJ showed his gall bladder surgery scar to a photographer from Life, but he was from Texas.

From what I understand, Cheney's initiation into the Bush inner circle involved ripping out his own heart and feeding it to a jackal. All that "heart ailment" stuff might fool the press, but he is of the undead.
