Chenney Hunts Most Dangerous Game!

[mburbank]

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -
The 78-year-old lawyer who was shot by Vice President
Dick Cheney in a hunting accident has some birdshot lodged in his heart and he had a "minor heart attack," a hospital official said Tuesday.


Peter Banko, the hospital administrator at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial, said Harry Whittington had the heart attack early Tuesday while being evaluated.

He said there was an irregularity in the heartbeat caused by a birdshot pellet, and doctors performed a cardiac catheterization. Whittington expressed a desire to leave the hospital, but Banko said he would probably stay for another week.



Okay, this is actually starting to look a little fishy to me. When you get 'peppered' from 30 feet away, do the 'teeny tiny little pellets' usually penetrate your chest wall and lodge in your heart? How minor is this minor heart attack? I think maybe ol' Dick hurt this guy maybe a little worse than they were at first letting on. Maybe this is that soviet style thing, where they say a guy has a severe cold, and then after a while they say walking pneumonia, and then then a long time later tey say dead.
