NBC asks: Did Dick Cheney really deserve that heart?

By Dennis Byrne, March 27, 2012 at 10:20 am

You knew that someone would ask that question, and NBC did. Even though he waited longer than the typical recipient. I guess we now can judge who “deserves” a transplanted organ by their political views. Can’t wait until ObamaCare when bureaucrats will make that decision. Here’s a comment on it from TownHall.com.

I'm glad he's getting a new one. I hope it's warmer than the original.
