If he were a Democrat, they'd be putting in a false heart.

I just wonder how they're going to justify this guy getting a pace maker and being a viable presidential candidate ... after they raked Cheney over the coals about his heart problems. Watch how they handle this ... suddenly it won't be an issue.

Maybe they can install a functioning brain while they're in there messing around. Damned RINO moron.
