It's not necessarily true that Cheney got a heart that could have gone to someone else. There are a lot of variables at play. However, if there was a younger person eligible for the same heart, I would seriously question the decision to give it to Cheney. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyJD made another false assumption. He said Cheney waited in line like a hero instead of using his influnce to cut. First off, he could not use his influnce to cut to the front in that highly regulated industry but it does appear that he used his influnce to actually get in line as they usually do not waste one on someone so old.
So now we know that Dick Cheney put his life on the line by waiting 20 months for a new heart. He could have moved himself up on the list but declined. How does that compare to a Kennedy who uses his addictions as an excuse for bad behavior and then insists that he go immediately for help? Or a Gore? Dick Cheney is the patriot here and has balls.
