    I wonder if the chest pains are as painful as a bullet or a piece of schrapnel ripping through his chest.

    Probably not.

    Washington (CNN) -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney was hospitalized Monday with chest pains, according to his office.

    Cheney, 69, is resting comfortably at George Washington University Hospital, and his doctors are evaluating the situation, his staff said in a statement.

    Cheney has a long history of heart problems. He has suffered four heart attacks dating to 1978, when he was 37. He had his second in 1984 and a third in 1988 before undergoing quadruple bypass surgery to unblock his arteries. His fourth heart attack happened in November 2000, after he was elected vice president. At that time, doctors inserted a stent to open an artery.

    Doctors in 2001 implanted a heart monitoring device to keep track of his heart rhythm and slow it down if necessary. In 2008, he underwent a procedure to restore his heart to a normal rhythm after doctors found he was experiencing a recurrence of atrial fibrillation.

    Cheney served under former President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. He has been a vocal critic of the current administration since he left office, most recently appearing on ABC's "This Week," where he railed against President Obama's policies on terror and the Iraq war.

    He has accused the Obama administration of failing to treat the fight against terrorists as war, citing the decisions to give 9/11 suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a civilian trial, give the failed Christmas Day airline bombing suspect the privileges of the U.S. criminal justice system, and shut down the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

    Cheney also served in the administrations of former Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush.

    I made an off hand remark similar to a couple here about Edward Kennedy that I was promptly chastised for by several members and the moderators deleted the comment.

    So maybe that practice is allowed when you don't agree with someone's politics.

    I'm sure somebody on here will stick up for dear old Cheney at some point. I agree that the mods deleting the comment if similar to these is troubling.

    i am guessing you are referring to my comment. there is a difference between what i said and what you said that got deleted. kennedy actually passed away, cheney is apparently going to be fine. either way, when cheney finally kicks it i will say that you will probably be offended by what people will say about him, because unlike kennedy, cheney has done nothing positive for this country the last 30 years and i am sure that kennedy was about as revered as cheney is reviled...

    What I said about Kennedy that was deleted was said when he announced that he was sick, not after he died. There were two separate threads.

    I actually don't care about Cheney and I don't care about Kennedy. The point was the double standard when politics are agreed upon or not.

    on edit: I just went back and read the kennedy death thread. I forgot you were such a fan.
