May I just say that we were right asking for the past 3 weeks where the hell Cheney has been. We asked if he was ill. The mainstream media didn't ask squat. The vice president was pretty much missing the first week of the Katrina disaster and the MSM didn't ask squat. I'd be curious if this aneurysm is really no big deal, and I'd be curious if they're even telling us the truth about everything he's going in for - I don't believe a thing they say anymore.
I'd also note that it was Arianna Huffington who earlier this summer caught Cheney sneaking into a hospital in Vail. The White House denied it, but Arianna talked to folks at the hospital and it was clear the veep was there and it was clear his visit was anything but a regular check-up. Arianna pushed the story, the MSM ignored it. And I strongly suspect this is tied to Arianna's observations this summer.

ROLL CALL: CHENEY TO HAVE
SURGERY FOR ANEURYSM...
Roll Call's Mary Ann Akers to reveal: 'The vice president is slated to have an elective surgical procedure to treat an aneurysm in the artery behind the right knee that was discovered earlier this year during a routine checkup,' spokesman Steve Schmidt said. 'It is a condition that needs to be addressed so as not to become a problem over time,' said Schmidt, who declined to say at which hospital the surgery
will be performed. Schmidt said the procedure will be performed under local anesthesia and will involve 'a short hospital stay.'
Cheney, 64, had quadruple bypass surgery in 1988 and had a defibrillator implanted in his chest three years ago. He has suffered four heart attacks.
