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?
Meaning of the quote
This quote is making a joke about Dick Cheney's health. Even though Cheney said he was healthy, the fact that he has a doctor with him 24 hours a day suggests that he is actually not in good health. The comedian is implying that if someone needs a doctor constantly, they are probably not as healthy as they claim to be.
