Couple of more relevant questions.
One, presumably Cheney is on some pretty heavy-duty drugs for his heart. He's had lotsa troubles, and is MASSIVELY overweight. Obese. Fat. Morbidly so.
And, he drinks. What's the interaction between those drugs and alcohol? I know a bit about some, and drinking is not OK either for people with heart troubles or people taking those drugs. Especially not if one is fat.
Second, there had to be a very, very good reason he did not go to the hospital. I would have, you would have, anyone would have.
One can only pray for Whittington. If something permanent happens to him this will no longer have a humorous side. Think of the kind of person we have only one heartbeat away from the Presidency.
