If Obama was an unmitigated disaster, then Bush was an unmitigated catastrophe.

I thought with Cheney it would be called an implant, not a transplant... (yeah I know some of you were already going there but I still had to try)

Not trying to be facetious or nasty, but I'm actually surprised at his age they would do a transplant: I thought there were age limitations on this type of surgery (born of the mindset of using the organs on younger patients who a) might recover easier and b) might live longer when everything is said and done).

It was a good one.

If money and power can't buy you a heart, what can it buy you.

In post #14 I commented on the criteria (years ago) for getting a heart. At that time people past their 30s stood very little chance of getting one. What has happened to change that criteria?

In the US it is all about the money, of which slick dick has lots.

It would have been funnier if he was getting a Dick transplant.

A dick for a Dickhead?

I was hesitant to suggest that as it means another profession has gone for a sh*t, and you can't blame Dick, he's just doing what he can to stay alive.
I would too if I had sold my soul to the devil. Look at Dick run!
