I have noticed that too, and I think it is one of his strengths. And one of the reasons he can't be intimidated.
Actually, SOTTREADER, I think it's pretty simple. The Cs have said repeatedly, "enjoy the show!"

Funny you should say that. I recall he had a lot of times a new heart. 5? 7?Sheesh, that thing is still alive!!
What? does he have an alien sarcophagus or what?
I would say a stake through the heart might work, but I doubt he has a heart.
Cheney does have a heart, physically speaking. Not the OEM one, though.I would say a stake through the heart might work, but I doubt he has a heart.
Actually, I think he's on his third one. Funny how he gets to the top of the transplant list over and over . . . and over? And God only knows where those hearts are being culled from.I would say a stake through the heart might work, but I doubt he has a heart.
[see article further down the page]When last we left our hero, he was slowly dying, living out his sorrowful last moments tethered to a left-ventricular-assist device, waiting to shuffle off his mortal coil with calm resignation and karmic equipoise (OK, this last part, maybe not really). After all, he already had attained executive-branch closure by penning a remarkably vain autobiography.
Well, dry those tears, America—he’s back! We all woke up Sunday morning with the chilling news that Dick Cheney has a new million-dollar heart and may be as good as ever, or as good as a 71-year-old man on multiple medicines who just underwent a major surgery can possibly be. Given his track record of opting never to die, we should figure he will be around and ready to go as VP for both Jeb Bush in 2016 and George Prescott Garnica Bush (one of the little brown ones—let’s call him “P”) in 2024. And never mind the minor business with the 12th and 22nd Amendments—Dick will take care of it.
How did this happen? No, not the Florida recount, but how could someone so old and frail be a candidate for that most precious commodity, the human organ? Did Dick do a dick thing and leapfrog a bunch of other worthies, people who aren’t viewed by some as war criminals and evildoers but rather are decent folk decades younger, likelier to contribute to society and to provide a better return on investment for our taxpayer health-care dollars? We went through similar societal contortions when Mickey Mantle got his liver and Steve Jobs, surreptitiously, his, though we never made up our minds, celebrity being as powerful as it is.
How Dick Cheney Got His New Heart
Let's not jump to any conclusions about 71-year-old Cheney leapfrogging a bunch of other worthies to get his new heart. As far as we can tell, he got his transplant simply because his number on a waiting list turned up. Plus, seven surprising facts about heart transplants.www.thedailybeast.com

Dick Cheney Undergoes Heart Transplant
by Charlotte Libov
The heart transplant that former vice president Dick Cheney underwent on Saturday not only saved his life, but also will enable him to live another five-to-10 years, and even possibly facilitate his return to political life if he so chooses, says renowned cardiac physician and transplant cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall.
“Physically, he’s going to feel youthful, invigorated, and like a new person with an energy level he hasn’t seen for decades. He’s going to be a dynamo,” said Dr. Crandall, who is chief of the cardiac transplant program at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Palm Beach, Florida. He is also the author of Dr. Crandall’s Heart Health Report,” Newsmax’s monthly heart health newsletter.“

Transplanted Heart Refuses to Stay in Dick Cheney’s Chest
by Roger Freed, March 27, 2012
Surgeons have had great difficulty with fitting former President of Vice Dick Cheney (aka ‘Tricky Dicky the Second’) with a transplanted heart. Each attempt to put a foreign heart into the open breast of Mr. Cheney has resulted in rejection — not Mr. Cheney’s body rejecting the heart but rather the heart rejecting Mr. Cheney.
The latest procedure ended when the most recent heart upon being put into the chest cavity jumping out and running out of the surgery gallery screaming “AAAGGGGGHHHH!!! ITS ICE COLD IN THERE! ITS DARK AND REALLY CREEPY! LET ME OUT OF HERE! ANYTHING BUT THERE!! AAAAGHHHHH!!!!”
Similar experiences had occurred with with other hearts that have been attempted to be put in the former dictator of Halliburton. Usually the surgical staff have had to chase the fleeing heart down the hospital hallways trying to catch it, often ending with the little organ choosing self destruction rather than be implanted into the world famous torture advocate.
The hearts have been known to jump screaming out of hospital windows, drown themselves in acid baths, impale themselves on surgical knives and to poison themselves on hospital cafeteria food.
One heart, when cornered by hospital staff, choose to strangle itself with its own aorta rather than be taken. Another, successfully implanted into the most famous legal dictators chest, turned purple and withered immediately from the toxic shock.
In a desperate attempt to get a heart for the ailing ex-mini despot, surgeons contacted a Mayan group specializing in the ritual sacrifice of a female virgin that their culture had been so famous for in its pre-Columbus history. For an undisclosed donation amount from the Cheney Charitable Fund For Saving My Own Ass, the Mayan priests sacrificed a young woman by cutting her still beating heart out on an altar in a religious ceremony and shipped it immediately to America where an emergency procedure installed it. Unfortunately, having a female heart in the world’s most famous Darth Vader impersonator made the big man more compassionate, feminine and understanding of others, qualities that Mr. Cheney couldn’t abide and he had it ripped out immediately.
For the next plan they approached the Great And Powerful Wizard Of Oz for help in getting the former water boarding enthusiast a heart just as he had done with the Tin Man. The Great And Powerful Wizard Of Oz came out, took one look at the former U.S. Treasury money sucker and said, “I’m a wizard, not God Almighty who can do impossible miracles.” and left.
A solution was finally reached when the heart of an Asian Komodo dragon was successfully put into the famous draft dodgers rib cage. Komodo dragons are by nature cold blooded, merciless and ruthlessly aggressive, making the transplant a huge success and leaving the highly acclaimed chicken hawk with a feeling of immense success satisfaction and a strange sexual longing for a female Komodo.

Each attempt by surgeons to give Mr. Cheney a new heart has resulted in rejection -- the heart rejecting Mr. Cheney. Humor, satire.www.humortimes.com
I might be misreading the implication here or the joke is over my head, but I think he is jabbing Biden because he said 'frackers' should learn to code. Right?
