Cheney goes to the hospital, too!

One old politician in the hospital isn't enough. Former Vice President and always derided Darth Lord of the Sith, Dick Cheney was admitted on Friday to George Washington University Hospital as a result of "progressive retention of fluid related to his coronary artery disease," Cheney's office said. Cheney was suffering from atrial fibrillation, or irregular heart rhythm, the friend said.

At the hospital, Cheney was placed on intravenous medication and his condition has "markedly improved," his office said in a statement Saturday.

On Sunday, Cheney's daughter, Liz Cheney, said that the former vice president was "feeling better" and would hopefully be released Monday.

Cheney has a long history of heart problems. He suffered his first heart attack in 1978, when he was 37.

He had his second heart attack in 1984 and a third in 1988 and underwent a quadruple bypass surgery to unblock his arteries. Shortly after Cheney was elected vice president in November 2000, he had a fourth heart attack and received a stent to open an artery.

In February, Cheney suffered his fifth heart attack. Also.... he has friends!?!?
