Hunter shot by Cheney has heart attack

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- The 78-year-old lawyer who was shot by Vice
President ***** 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.

Whittington, a prominent Republican attorney from Austin, was
accidentally sprayed with shotgun pellets when Cheney was aiming for a
quail Saturday.

Whittington had initially been placed in intensive care. He had been
moved to a "step-down unit" Monday after doctors decided to leave
several birdshot pellets lodged in his skin rather than try to remove
them.

A Texas Parks and Wildlife Department report said Whittington was
retrieving a downed bird and stepped out of the hunting line he was
sharing with Cheney. "Another covey was flushed and Cheney swung on a
bird and fired, striking Whittington in the face, neck and chest at
approximately 30 yards," the report said.



The wildlife department issued a report Monday that found the main
factor contributing to the accident was a "hunter's judgment factor."
No other secondary factors were found to have played a role.

On Sunday the press said the guy was just "peppered" and "knocked
silly". ***** whores just accept whatever the govt tells them.
