Hospital officials in Corpus Christi announced Tuesday that Whittington had suffered a "minor heart attack" and was returned to the intensive care unit.
It wasn't a traditional heart attack — no artery was blocked. In fact, the 78-year-old Whittington's doctors called his arteries healthy, and he felt no pain or other symptoms.
What apparently happened: Doctors noticed an irregular heartbeat Tuesday morning and took Whittington in for an exam called a cardiac catheterization, threading a wire up from the groin to see an image of exactly what was going on inside his heart.
One of the pellets from the 28-guage shotgun that Cheney had fired had migrated to the heart, either touching or embedding into the heart muscle near its top chambers, called the atria. That irritated those chambers to cause the irregular heartbeat known as atrial fibrillation.
What happens if this guy dies? I mean will there be a trial? At the very least this could be called "manslaughter" if not" negligent homicide".
Why did the Vice President wait eighteen hours before allowing the press to be notified? And why allow Katharine Armstrong, the ranch's owner, to notify their local paper the Corpus-Christi Caller Times? Why not have a White House press release?
None of this makes any sense! Except as a way to control when and how much information the public had access to. But if this man dies there will be no place for Mr. Cheney to hide. And he will not be controlling anything anymore.
