WASHINGTON (AP) -- An aide to Dick Cheney says the former vice president is in George Washington Hospital after experiencing chest pains.

Cheney's assistant, Peter Long, said in a statement late Monday that the 69-year-old Cheney was resting comfortably and his doctors were evaluating the situation.

Cheney has a history of heart problems and has a pacemaker.

In 2008, doctors restored a normal rhythm to his heart with an electric shock. It was the second time in less than a year that Cheney had experienced and been treated for an atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart.

Cheney has had four heart attacks, starting when he was 37. He has had quadruple bypass surgery and two artery-clearing angioplasties.

You lose that privilege when you commit the atrocities that man has.

Not only did it make me smile, I've been checking CNN every half hour to see if he's still alive.

That's what I was wondering.

Nice.

Maybe his lovely daughter Liz can join him in the hospital with her painful affliction of stupidity and internalized homophobia?

He had his FIFTH heart attack! He is obviously using some sort of black magic to keep him alive at this point. I mean, I'm talking some crazy Voldemort shit. He is evil.

Maybe this cartoon drove him over the edge.
