Just in case you care

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Doctors found a blood clot in Vice President Dick Cheney's left leg Monday, Cheney's office said.

The vice president was given blood-thinning medication, which he will need to take for several months, and allowed to return to work, his office said.

Cheney visited his doctors at George Washington University after experiencing slight pain in his left calf, according to his spokeswoman, Megan McGinn.

The vice president has had a history of heart ailments, including four heart attacks dating back to 1978.

Cheney was hospitalized in January 2006 after suffering shortness of breath, and in September 2005 he had surgery to remove an aneurysm in an artery behind his right knee.

I wonder, if Cheney was to resign for health reasons, who "W" would pick or nominate to the VP position....

I got a gut feeling Cheney won't make it through the remaining term.  The last time a vice president had to be chosen was under Nixon when Agnew resigned, for his criminal type activity. HHmmmmm....

Yes, just nothing to pump it anywhere... hence the clots.
