Cheney’s Victim Suffers Heart Attack; Recovering

Good lord:

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…

Whittington expressed a desire to leave the hospital, but Banko said he would probably stay for another week.
Poor guy. And meanwhile, asshole Cheney still hasn’t made a public statement. He could start with a public apology, which is the least Whittington deserves.

(Hat tip to Holly.)
