WASHINGTON (AP) — An aide to Dick Cheney says the former vice president is in George Washington Hospital after experiencing chest pains.

Cheney’s assistant, Peter Long, said in a statement late Monday that the 69-year-old Cheney was resting comfortably and his doctors were evaluating the situation.

Cheney has a history of heart problems and has a pacemaker.

In 2008, doctors restored a normal rhythm to his heart with an electric shock. It was the second time in less than a year that Cheney had experienced and been treated for an atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart.

Cheney has had four heart attacks, starting when he was 37. He has had quadruple bypass surgery and two artery-clearing angioplasties.

      Cheney is “Chuck Norris” tough and could whip the entire Obongo admin with chest tubes hanging out of him.

    Like the rest of America, Cheney has aged 10 years watching Evil Inc. try to collapse our country since Obama took office.

    Get well Mr. Vice President, the free world needs you.
