Whittington Back in ICU (FNC Reporting Minor Heart Attack)
WJIM-AM | February 14, 2006 | be-baw

Posted on 02/14/2006 10:09:50 AM PST by be-baw

I just heard from a local radio reporter (during Rush newsbreak at approximately 1:00 p.m) that Whittington "may have taken a turn for the worse," and was put back into intensive care.

Oh, the Vice President must be feeling just terrible. My worst fear has always been hurting someone in an accident. Prayers for Mr. Whittington.

I think age has a lot to do with it. And I would think that risk of infection would always be a concern, regardless of age. But now that this birdshot has moved, it is getting worse. My prayers are with both families.

Your post won't be the only place that theory gets floated, I think.

David Gregory as food taster still a good precaution. The left will stop at nothing. This is all about retaking the House or Senate. Power is the only thing that matters to the RATS and their media handmaidens.

Upper heart chambers reacted to foreign substance in heart muscle.....filibration as a result. but which can be easily treated.

Gregory was still at it again today with McLellan. The media is relentless.

Media: Can this be fatal?

The leftist's impeachment jihad had just one catch, what to do with Cheney....don't think for one minute that they will not use this to their advantage!

I predict much ugliness in the media.

That's an easy prediction ... they're already massively ugly.

"Not so serious response: If you wanted a conspiracy theory- A Republican loyalist agrees to be shot to give Vice President Cheney an excuse to resign so President Bush/Karl Rove can pick a new VP for a Presidential run."

WOW! Puts my tinfoil beanie to shame!

True enough, but in a 78 year old man, nothing can be taken for granted. If he's in the hospital for a week, there are all sorts of complications that can come up.

It ain't easy being old.

Called a silent heart attack. Wouldn't have been picked up if the doctors hadn't been probing the area.

How did it move to the heart if it didn't get inside the heart chamber? It sounds as if it slightly penetrated the heart wall, but that contradicts the statement that it moved.

Since this is associated with the VP's accident

I predict they won't let him be released until they are 100% sure all is well

Doctor now explaining to the Press that this was NOT a typical heart attack that most people thing of

Democrats have a whole lot in common with Islamofascists and it's easy to mistake our news media for Pravda.

Actually, I think BoT made a good point. Why does asking a question, good or not, or making a point, equate to hating America?

I just heard this on ABC News on the radio..they broke into Rush's show...

BTW..my husband told me this morning that the guys that he works with that are dems...were "celebrating" last night..thinking this would get Cheney out of the VP office...

I for one, am worried about Cheney...I am sure he feels awful...and NOW with this...the news said that one of the pellets moved into his heart causing the attack...

If so...I am sure NO ONE could be harder on Cheney than he is on himself...

I am concerned that even the docs are using the term "BB"...BB shots are MUCH larger than birdshot.

He does, the hospital in Corpus has affiliation with the Texas Medical Center (DeBakey Heart Institute, Cooley, etc.) as well as consultation with the White house medical team, Walter Reed, and their experts as well.
