Former Vice President Dick Cheney received a heart transplant on Saturday, his office announced.

A statement from the former vice president's office said the 71-year-old is now recovering in the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va., outside Washington.

The statement said Cheney had been on the transplant list for 20 months and did not know the identity of the donor.

"Although the former vice president and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift," the statement read.

Cheney, who served as President George W. Bush's vice president from 2001 to 2009, has a long history of heart problems. He suffered his first heart attack at age 37 and his fifth in 2010. In 1988, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery and has had several other heart surgeries since then.

In 2010, he had a battery-powered heart pump known as a Left Ventricular Assist Device implanted to keep his heart working - a device that is often used for short periods by patients awaiting a transplant.

seems like organ donors should be allowed to stipulate that their body parts not go to Supporters of the Synagogue of Satan.

SO now he actually has a heart? Why do I doubt it?

Or to people who are over 70 years old. Come on, how many 20 or 30 somethings are waiting for a heart? Instead it goes to a guy whose lived his life and ruined a lot of ours... Fuck him I hope his immune system rejects it.

Isn't most of the organ transplant thing set up by the Synagogue of Satan?

$20 bucks says he wasnt even on a list and got the first one available (who knows maybe even from an israeli organ trafficker)

He got a break the other day when a bunch of Afghani's got suicided. They flew it in with the hero that took it. Antlers all around, good hunt.

Bummer that a Giant Monitor Lizard had to die to give the Dick a new heart.

[Tumbleweed]

Knowing how evil Big Dick Cheney and those who surround him are it was probably part of a ritual sacrifice where others drank the blood and Big Dick got the heart.

It most likely will be the other way around...the heart will reject the body.

Didn't he have some kind of government Bureau of Assassinations reporting to him? Heartless bastard! What the hell does he need a new heart for? It'll only keep him alive. It won't make him a better person. This is the best argument yet against being an organ donor.

If he was really on the fresh organ list for 20 months, I imagine it might have been hell for him, but I don't really know. I heard that he had a Jarvik pump helping his real heart pump his blood. Could be the bearings were wearing on the mechanical pump, and they figured a real heart, possibly from a much younger person would be the best value way to go. Cold, calculating, heartless decision. Isn't that a feature of sociopaths? Being heartless and calculating? If he has a heart, it's the heart of darkness.

Most hearts will reject Cheney..............

Look at the picture of Dick Cheney at the link. That picture sure reveals his Khazar heritage. Mass media has gone out of their way to only present the most goyish (retouched?) pictures of him, but they slipped up this time.

wasn't a transplant, was an implant.
