What do you think of Dick Cheney receiving a heart transplant?
He is 71 years old. Do you think the heart should have gone to a younger person? Do you think his money "bought" him a heart?
Who are we to judge? People who receive organ transplants most likely go through a battery of interviews and tests to see if they can mentally and physically handle the surgery. There are all kinds of complications and risks. I know--I am on one of those lists. Mr. Cheney received a heart transplant because a team of specialists and the hospital associated with the operation agreed that it would benefit him. The public is not qualified to choose who gets what. As for me, I'm waiting on a donated organ like everyone else. Leave this topic alone and move on.

He voted against healthcare reform, helped Bush destroy this country and he gets a new heart. Now someone has to wait longer for a heart transplant because of this assh**e. Feel free to comment or make a list of a person(s) who needs a new heart more than Dick.

Former vice-president Dick Cheney should be put under the microscope again. This time, he said that there is no "evidence" of a link between Iraq and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Well, Mr. Cheney, why did we invade Iraq then?
