| Is The Vice President Healthy? |
| 2005-06-26 |
| Why is the White House still insisting that the only health issue Vice President Cheney dealt with today is an old football injury to his knee, visiting renowned orthopedist Dr. Richard Steadman? At the Vail Valley Institute dinner tonight, I kept asking what those in the know here knew. Little by little, here is the story I pieced together: After the Secret Service secured the Vail Valley Medical Center, including the parking lot, the Vice President arrived under his own power and checked in at the orthopedic center under the name "Dr. Hoffman". He was immediately whisked to the adjacent cardiac unit, suffering from what was described to me as "an angina attack". The security was so high that a Secret Service agent wouldn’t let an ER nurse out of the bathroom that she had gone into just before the Veep arrived. "Get back in there," the agent told her. Confounded, she called her husband on her cell phone, telling him "something big" was going on. And indeed it was
but you wouldn’t know it from the White House. It appears that not only doesn’t the public deserve to know what is really going on in Iraq ("last throes"?) we don’t deserve to know what is going on with our Vice President’s health. Arianna Huffington. TWAGO Salt. However, angina can be a little, or it can be a lot. Also, even if he is in good health, would the time be right to resign for "health reasons", and turn the job over to Condi Rice? |

| #6 It's like Kobe Bryant! He's secretly visiting Steadman for knee surgery, but will most likely hole up in some local spa so he can get some rough sex with some nubile blonde concierge. Even the VP needs a little strange every once in a while! |

| #3 I like your thinking, Laurence. Cheney could go back to Wyoming, take it easy, do some fishing, and be the Ambassador to Belgium in absentia. |

| #2 Then Bush could put Bolton in charge at State, and somebody real friendly to the French, like Ann Coulter or Michael Savage, in at the UN. Then let the fun begin. |

| #1 Oh, Moose! You took this from the brain trust over at the HuffPo! Hell, if I had Arianna Huffington on a hook, I wouldn't let her go until it was wrapped around her small intestine. "Really! And then a UFO swooped down and beamed up Cheney, two Secret Service men, and a ski bunny with a busted ankle! But that was by mistake, so they sent her right back." |
