Cheney at GWU Hospital for Spinal Surgery

2009_0917_cheney.jpg Breaking right now from the Washington Times: Former Vice President Dick Cheney is at The George Washington University Hospital this morning to undergo elective surgery on his spine. Cheney visited GWU Hospital something like 643 times over the course of the Bush administration, typically taking his massive motorcade along for the ride, the Secret Service keen on shutting down nearby streets. But now that he's no longer in office, we're curious to hear from Foggy Bottom denizens about whether any security presence is even noticeable around the hospital today. Can you tell Cheney is in the house?

Must have had a helluva time getting his wheelchair down the Barad-dûr. Not the most ADA-compliant Federal building.

I hear security around there is pretty intense...

Apparently not. I read that two armed midgets and a Gollum just walked right in. There's Homeland Security for you.

Wheelchair schmeelchair -- Cheney travels on his Nazgul these days.

I always find his hospital visits curious since I was under the impression Satan didn't need medical attention.

Ohhh, so THAT's why the sky has clouded over in downtown. Can you tell him to hurry up and be done so it will be sunny by lunchtime?

Sorry, he is in there until nightfall. Only then can he venture outside to feast on the blood of virgins. (although he is going to hungry on the GW campus).

Only then can he venture outside to feast on the blood of virgins.

[Wizzyliz breathes sigh of relief, gets back in the ambulance.]

No no no... Definitely not virgins... He has a supply of super cute kittens that he rips the heads off of and drinks the blood directly from their super cute kitten bodies.

Oh Cheney, I see they've installed your heart plug already. Don't be angry. Everyone gets one here. But this is not why we're here. We've brought you a little cat, Cheney. You must care for it if you wish to live. A poison has been introduced into you. By milking this smooth little cat body each day you receive your antidote. It must be done each day. See? You're a Harkonnen now!

This made my day- great appreciate for timeless literature!

i'm scared -- when he sucks all those kittens dry he'll come after me!

jesus christ, this is just too easy, isn't it?

he actually has a spine? never would have guessed the way he wet his pants and hid from the public after 9/11.

I live behind the hospital and am very familiar with the limos and black SUVs in the loading dock, and the throng of TV cameras on the corner.

Didn't see anything this morning when I left for work. Traffic on 23rd seemed to be moving normally as well.

Perchance they'll finally remove that evil parasitic twin?

What a terrible way to refer to the 43rd President of the United States!

Doctor: "So when did you first get this weak back?"

Cheney: "About a week back."

I bet he'll be waaay mellow from whatever drugs they give him post-op.

His body will likely reject the drugs and he'll then extend his injection tubules normally used for assimilation and put them in a Democrat.

Hey... Maybe we can sneak Ashcroft in the ICU to help Cheney pen that tell-all autobiography...

I hope to God he gets Nurse Ratched: "If Mr. Cheney doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way. But I don't think that he would like it."

I think he WOULD. (wink wink, nudge nudge)

Nope, not this morning - my Circulator bus whizzed on through Washington Circle. Whereas in the past, it would be gridlock if Cheney was at GWUH.

Except for the occasional heart attack, I never felt better.

HALP! Someone please Dick Cheney before he dicks us!

can't wait for the fawning eulogies on faux news when you kick the bucket...

They will never find me in my undisclosed location.

just stay on the line for a few more minutes...

I going duck hunting. Care to join me?

really? i would have thought you spoke better english than that...

Can I just add the brilliant coincidence that Cheney is in the hospital for spinal surgery on Constitution Day of all days? Looks like the Constitution might have its revenge after all...

are we paying for this? i hope not.

Nobody is gonna go for the death panels joke?

didn't even cross my mind, but now that you say it...

643 times, huh? Penis Cheney sure must have enjoyed his government-run health care.
