WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney is recovering from a "mild heart attack" — his latest bout in a long battle against heart disease. Cheney was feeling fine on Tuesday and likely to be sent home from a Washington hospital within a day or two, aides aid. He experienced chest pain on Monday, and lab results revealed evidence of the heart attack, spokesman Peter Long said.
"The whole family has been working with heart disease for decades, and they are vigilant and attuned to treatment," said political consultant Mary Matalin, a friend and former counselor to Cheney.
She added that Cheney, now 69, "knows how to live with this disease" and is fortunate to have great doctors.
The news came just more than a week after Cheney and Vice President Joe Biden essentially dueled each across different Sunday television talk shows, bickering over national security, credit for success in Iraq and Iran's nuclear program. Even more recently, Cheney made a surprise appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, delighting the partisan crowd with statements like, "I think Barack Obama is a one-term president."

Thank You, Lord, that VP Cheney is OK!
Thanks for the ping. I heard Megyn Kelly report this noon
(And you're welcome!)
I bet even Chuck Norris is praying for him.
Prayers for his health and safety. We need this man so much!
He speaks for so many who no longer have a voice!
and...his voice will continue through his daughter Liz Cheney. She’s a chip off the old block and has learned at the knee of the master. Thank God for men like Cheney. Not afraid to speak up and do the right thing no matter who else thinks it’s wrong. He is guided by his own conscience. God bless Dick Cheney...Vice President Dick Cheney. He’s the only VP I’ve ever listened to.
