Dick Cheney Dies At Walter Reed Hospital
The Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney, has died at Walter Reed Hospital. He was checked in yesterday for routine tests after a blood clot was discovered. He developed a severe infection due to a rat infestation in his room and a mysterious fungus growing on the walls, and has now died as a result of the infection.
The Vice President has no connection with the U.S. Army — he bragged repeatedly about his five draft deferments and his “other priorities” during the Vietnam War. But somehow the keywords “one heartbeat away” and “commander-in-chief” ended up in his online profile. This caused the Vice President to be sent to Walter Reed for treatment, even though this hospital is ONLY for soldiers and veterans.
The recently-fired General who was in charge of Walter Reed Hospital and the Secretary of the Army (who fired the general and was later fired himself) were seen banging their heads against a wall. (Their own heads, not each other’s.)
A reporter heard them moaning “Why????” “Who Knew????” “We could’ve killed those rats years ago; should’ve scrubbed that mold off the walls back in ’93.” “How were we supposed to know a VIP would be sent here???” “I thought this hellhole was only for grunts, gimps, you know, blue-collar types…”

Chilled Beer: Gotcha :)
Fantastic post, Tom. As much as assistant commander-in-chief Cheney "supports our troops", it would serve him right to have to be tended to in a substandard, less-than-clean environment which he and his friends would probably try to eliminate if there was a way to do so.
Snave: Thanks. That would sure be poetic if Cheney got the same substandard hospital care that he thinks is just fine for soldiers and veterans.
Good one!
Excellent, Tom. A rat done in by rats.
LOL! I'm with Chilled Beer--I thought it was real til I read the last paragraph.
But I'm with you Tom: i think the richest among us might rethink the state of healthcare throughout our country if they had to use the same medical facilities that the rest of us must use.
Candace: Thanks.
J. Marquis: Thanks. "A rat done in by rats," good description.
Mile High Pixie: Yup, that sure would be one way to improve health care, making the VIPs use the same facilities that the rest of us use.
i'm disappointed.
no wingnuts calling you out for wishing the vp into an early dirt-retirement.
at which point you'd smile and say, "it was a joke. i'd never compare the veep to someone who actually served their country. that'd be mean."
Brilliant post.
Spaceneedl: Yeah, I'm surprised there haven't been any rightwing comments yet. But there's still time. "Early dirt-tirement" LOL.
Lizzy: Thanks.
Hello again. Just thought I'd drop by to, you know, read the headline again. :)
Candace: Yes, it's a nice headline. If only...
If Only...there's still hope
PoliShifter: Yup, there's always hope. Sometimes Karma rears its head, so you never know...
Dang it!! You got my hopes up there for a minute.. lol
Great post. Exactly.
Anonymous: Thanks. Didn't mean to get your hopes up like that.
I'll bet Cheney never wore a "blue collar" in his life.
Great post as always.
Kurt: Thanks. I'm sure Cheney wouldn't know a blue collar if it bit him on the ass.
Shooter died about 1996.
What a waste of a pacemaker.
Jolly Roger: That's for sure, definitely a waste of a pacemaker.
I thought this was real...
Renagu: Gotcha :) Hope you weren't too disappointed.
LOL! Tom stirring the pot. Go Tom, go!
Ricardo: Ah yes, stir stir stir.
