With apologies to the Cheney friend who received the pellet facial, the incident was funny.

Yes, it was funny when we were led to believe that it wasn't any more serious than a "facial".
Now it becomes legitimate to ask why the gravity of the situation was initially downplayed.

It wasn't. The situation was dealt with medically from the get go. The first Doc thought he should be treated and released. It was only later that the bird shot moved and caused a more serious medical problem.

I see conspiracy paranoia does not exist only on the left.....

The gravity of the situation- the heart attack- was not apparent early on and was still not something of any national or ven local importance except in the way that Jennifer Lopez being in a car crash is important. It's paparrazzi stuff and the "journalists" are playing their part.
