Sorry bout that,
1. Now I like Dick Cheney, and all.
2. But what makes him a better more deserving American than me?
3. I do hope he gets better soon.

"WASHINGTON - Former vice president Dick Cheney was hospitalized after experiencing chest pains today, an aide said.
Cheney assistant Peter Long issued a statement that the 69-year-old Cheney was resting comfortably and his doctors were evaluating the situation.
Cheney has a history of heart problems and has a pacemaker.
In 2008, doctors restored a normal rhythm to his heart with an electric shock. It was the second time in less than a year that Cheney had experienced and been treated for an atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart.
Cheney has had four heart attacks, starting when he was 37. He has had quadruple bypass surgery and two artery-clearing angioplasties. In 2001, he had a special pacemaker implanted in his chest. The pacemaker's battery was replaced last year, and then the entire device was replaced."
