Man... I'm probably over-sensitive to these things, but the way that anecdote is written is painful. I mean, who the hell (besides Dick Cheney) gets to "decide" whether or not he wants to get a heart transplant? Most people who definitely need them never get them because a-holes like Cheney get priority when they "decide they would like a transplant."

Probably reading far too much into it. Probably because Cheney is such an a-hole.
