Has Cheney ever suffered a stroke?
I was watching Dick last night, and it suddenly dawned on me that his face looks a bit as if he might have suffered a stroke. It would explain that perpetual snarl-like expression on his face.

Considering his 4 heart-attacks, it seems plausible that he might have also suffered a stroke along the way.

While I'm on the subject, isn't it somewhat bad strategy to have a VP in such precarious health? Politics aside, the VP is supposed to be able to take over as president in an emergency, and this guy could literally keel over at any time. It seems kind of irresponsible.

1. The snarl is just because he's evil.

2. I am sure if he keels over,

he can be quickly revived with a few pints of fresh blood from a young virgin.

8. I wouldn't either, but that's because he is conservative
A conservative should not be allowed to be by the emergency exit.

Why?

If an occasion were to come up where the emergency exit were necessary, the conservative would exit, slam the door shut, and tell anyone else that wants out that "They should have been sitting by an emergency exit."

After all, you can't rely on other people to do your job for you. It's called "self-reliance".

4. If he wants to see what a stroke looks like
Let him re-wind Zell's "speech" and/or that of Ron "Geez, am I a putz or what?" Silver. On a serious note, I remarked on night one of the convention that Crashcart appeared to have labored breathing. He was just sitting there and it looked like he was having trouble. Anyone else notice this?

6. I swear he said President "Bloosh" last night at one point
(Was listening on the radio). Made me think "Uh Oh". Did anyone else catch that or was it a blip in my hearing?
