US Vice-President Dick Cheney has been rushed to hospital after suffering shortness of breath and apparent fluid retention.

 

Mr Cheney, 64, has a history of heart attacks.

 

He had his fourth heart attack at the end of 2000 and in June 2001 he was fitted with a pacemaker.

Someone has clearly made it their New Year's Resolution to kill, injure or give ill-health to as many politicans as possible - Arnold Schwarzenegger involved in a traffic accident I see today as well.

If this person could aim towards Shamir, Foot, Pym, Ford & Haughey in the next few weeks, I will be most satisfied with my DDP total :)

 

According to the latest, he should be discharged later today

I did... I think... Check the other thread um..

 

Cheers Octi, I knew I'd posted but couldn't remember where. Either way, our rural roots need a boost and the worldwide publicity they'll gain from the DL is as welcome in Wiltshire as it is in West Cumbria.

I wonder if Dick Cheney will go hunting with Pres Bush in the future

 

Dick Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter

 

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas.

 

Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was "alert and doing fine" in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday after he was shot by Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the property's owner.

The, for us, interesting bit of the article:

"Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been," she said. "The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came."

 

regards,

Hein

That's what happens when you have 5 Military Deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam and never learn how to handle a gun.

In the Washington Post there's a large article about his response and how off-putting it has been, even for the Republicans. It also mentioned how he internalizes many of his emotions. Surely can't be good for his ticker?

Shooting lawyers? In February? What poor form!

 

Surely even Americans know the season doesn't begin until September. I suspect Cheney will be widely snubbed for this faux pas.

A little off-season hunting is more widely accepted than you might realize. Really, it's for their own good as their population is ever expanding and their numbers continuely need to be thinned out. Poor creatures would drown in their own waste paper otherwise, truly a terrible way to go.
