| Dick Cheney treated for blood clot in leg |
| 2007-03-06 |
 Vice President Dick Cheney, who returned to Washington last week from an around-the-world trip, is being treated for a blood clot in his left leg, his office announced today. Such clots, while rare, are sometimes caused by extended air travel. Cheney is being treated with a blood thinner intended to prevent the clot from breaking loose and reaching his lungs, said his deputy press secretary, Megan McGinn. She said Cheney, 66, had experienced "mild calf discomfort." |

| #7 This might be the other shoe falling. The first being the Negropante move to state. |

| #6 This will not slow Cheney's campaign for president in 2008. If all he had was "mild calf discomfort" it's no big deal. He'll take his medicine and get over. |

| #5 It is my humble opinion that unlike normal times anyone that takes the position of VP now will not find it helpful in the quest for the Presidency in 2008. Maybe in 2012 after Iraq policies and such have had time to prove true. It'll be interesting to see who would take the job. |

| #4 Is Bill Maher aka "Maher" Ahmed Msabbeh wounded by shrapnel to the buttocks? If not he should be. Maher is such a dick. |
