Cheney, Santorum, Gingrich, Romney Update

Dick Cheney had a change of heart. Haha. I crack myself up.  Doctors replaced the mechanical one that has kept him alive for the last twenty months, until a new heart could be transplanted. Apparently, we are to deduct from this that he's just like the rest of us, having to queue up for a new organ.  Sure he is. Except for the fact that most of us would have gone ahead and died after the second or third heart attack, because our insurance, if we were lucky enough to have any, would have maxed out.  Or, at age 71, after five previous heart attacks, we would probably have been considered a bad risk for a new heart.

I'd like to believe his old, defective heart made him the nasty, mean-spirited man he is.  Then, I could hope his donor was a Democrat, and he would be changed for the better.

But, I don't.

Rick Santorum appears to be melting down.  He made the comment that Mitt Romney is the "worst Republican to run against Obama."  But, when asked about the comment by a New York Times reporter, he went ballistic. He chastised the reporter for questioning his remark, even though it was reported correctly.  Called it bull-shit. Touchy, touchy, Rick. Is that any way for a good Christian to talk?

Now, he's warning us that if Obama is elected, there will be an all-out attack on Freedom of Religion.  What I've seen, so far, is the Christians attacking everyone else's religious beliefs.   Maybe he's disillusioned by the fact that his victories in the Southern states haven't amounted to very much.

So far, even when he wins, he loses.

Mitt, "I'm out of a job, too" Romney is building a new house in California. He tore down his trillion square foot mansion so he could replace it with a gazillion square foot one.  But, he hit a snag. The plans call for an elevator - for his cars - something not allowed in the zoning laws. What to do, what to do?  Mitt isn't used to being thwarted, so he hired a lobbyist to go to the planning board and get a variance.  The lobbyist returned, flushed with victory, and with said variance, and construction is now underway again and Mitt will be able to park all his Detroit-built cars, one above the other .

Wonder how much that variance cost him.

Newt Gingrich says he'll drop out of the race, depending on what he is offered in return.  Let's see, what could Newt do in a Republican administration?  Oh, I know!  He can be the President's personal Transformative Idea Man, and  he can also act as Presidential Historian.  In his spare time, he can take  a part-time job as White House Official Greeter.

 Stay tuned.
