[Homeland's episode] was an alarming plotline, he said.
“I was aware of the danger that existed, I found it credible because I knew from the experience we had and the necessity for adjusting my own device that it was an accurate portrayal of what was possible,” he said in the CBS interview.

It's a minor miracle that Cheney lived through the Bush presidency. He nearly died from dangerously high levels of potassium in his blood on 9/11 (a condition called hyperkalaemia), and he nearly always carried around a letter of resignation just in case his health deteriorated further. He says a heart transplant last year saved his life. If you'd like to start your Monday with a vomit session, here is a picture of his old heart. It looks like a chicken parm.
