"Dick Cheney said he was running again. He said his health was fine, 'I've got a doctor with me 24 hours a day.' Yeah, that's always the sign of a man in good health, isn't it?"

This quote by David Letterman is a sarcastic reaction to Dick Cheney's announcement that he was running for workplace again. Letterman is implying that Cheney's health is not as good as he declares it to be, as having a doctor with him 24 hours a day is not an indication of health. Letterman is suggesting that Cheney is not in great health and is not fit to run for office. He is likewise suggesting that Cheney is not being truthful about his health and is trying to conceal it from the public. This quote is a humorous way of pointing out the hypocrisy of Cheney's statement and the absence of openness in his campaign.
