Why is This Man Still Alive?

First of all, it's hard enough for me to believe that the 46th Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney, even has a heart let alone that his has attacked him now five times.

Five times! And he's still alive! Why?

You take someone like John Hughes who had by all accounts a heart of 14kt solid gold and he's gone after one!

Yet, like a really bad case of shingles, you can't get rid of Dick.
