Here are a few comments on twitter about Dick Cheney's heart transplant, I thought you might enjoy. :) Sorry for the vulgar language.


When Dick Cheney - a guy who orders guys to torture other guys - has 5 heart attacks, I call that "Karma Boarding."

Rather surprised Dick Cheney got a heart after lasting all these years without one.

Dick Cheney gets heart. Bush to meet The Wizard about brain this afternoon. :rotfl:

BORING. Wake me up when Dick Cheney gets a new conscience.

Dick Cheney got a new heart & the old heart became 3 Horcruxes.

I bet the dying guy was being sarcastic when he said "hey make sure my heart goes to Dick Cheney."

Dick Cheney's doctors made medical history today when they managed to fit a human heart inside an a..hole.

Dick Cheney is one step closer to finally becoming Darth Vader.

Dick Cheney, opposed to gov't-funded health care, just got a new heart thru gov't-funded health care. You paid for it.

If you're upset about having to pay for my contraception, let me tell you I'm not thrilled I just paid for Dick Cheney's heart.

Organ donor cards should have a box that reads "unless it's Dick Cheney."

This one is from Jesus Christ's account:

Some a..hole just showed up bragging about how he donated his heart to Dick Cheney. I donated his a.. to Hell.

Will add :rotfl:

Now if heart's carry cellular memory, perhaps :pinocchio: Dick through this memory osmosis will all of a sudden become a voice for truth?

No, not possible, wishful thinking. A cold chunk of ice is still a cold piece of ice.

Were my favorites, i don't think the horcrux one will ever get old. :rotfl:
 
This just appeared on my facebook page:

Well, Dick Cheney had a full heart transplant. He's recovering well. Fox News sent flowers. MSNBC sent a large order of chili cheese fries!

Also heard that Dick got to shoot his own donor........

When I heard the news I thought this is one of those "gifts" comedians talk about that present them with endless opportunities for some truly savage comedy! Like with Clinton, this comic opportunity has staying power :lol:

Love it:

On a serious note, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that the cellular memory in heart tissue can affect the new recipient . . . could be interesting.

I think he's really going to have a hard time adjusting to actually having a heart! But, knowing Cheney, his psychopathic ways will kill this heart, too.

I don't think that he received a real human heart because he would have rejected it ipso facto. The truth is that it must be a artificial heart.

Edited: Moreover any conscious heart would have chosen to do hara-kiri instead of going in that body.

Maybe it was a pig's heart, in which case it wouldn't change anything about him a bit!

n Cheney's case, an old man may have received an old heart, said Dr. Chauncey Crandall, chief of the cardiac transplant program at Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Palm Beach Gardens.

According to Crandall, Cheney's new heart is likely mildly defective or from an older donor, making it unsuitable for a younger person, according to Crandall. Such a heart with a reduced life span is an acceptable match for someone Cheney's age, he said.

"The point is that Dick Cheney didn't need a perfect heart at age 71," said Crandall. "With older patients we can give them imperfect hearts knowing they will probably do well for five or 10 years."

The article is about whether Cheney has bypassed others on the long waiting list to get his heart. the arguement used is that an old man gets an old heart not suitable for younger patients in need.

I think it is more a case of genetic matching - a psychopath needs a psychopaths heart. The cover of an old heart is just that. It seems more that Cheney needed a midly defective heart unsuitable for humans.

of course there is this element:

While age is becoming less of a barrier to transplantation, insurance remains a hurdle. Patients without top-notch insurance are unlikely to be added to a transplant list.

and

he federal insurance Cheney is thought to have is among the most comprehensive policies in the nation.

worrying is that
According to Crandall, Cheney has a good chance that his new old heart will provide "energy levels he hasn't seen in 20 years. He'll be a dynamo and probably get involved in the Republican campaign" for president.

Yeah, and they probably had top physicists in the OR so they could insert the heart into a Black Hole!

Thanks, for these, I've been chuckling for the last half hour. :rotfl:
