Tricky Dick Cheney
Two of Washington's old guard, former Vice President, Dick Cheney and former Senator, Bob Dole, have been hospitalized (in addition to Bill Clinton last week). Yesterday, Cheney was hospitalized with chest pains, much like Rush Limbaugh a few weeks ago.
The chest pains are most likely stress related, due to fighting President Obama, whose heart is years younger (though he could quit the smoking, as it promotes cancer via first, second and third hand smoke).
These medical events are in addition to the passing of Senators, Ted Kennedy and John Murtha. The Washington landscape is certainly changing.
