Harry Whittington, the guy shot by Vice President Dick Cheney, has had a mild heart attack caused by a pellet that nudged up next to his heart.
That’s a heck of a lot worse than would seem to be indicated by those who say Whittington got “peppered” by Cheney’s shot. I don’t know if the term “peppered” has a proper definition, but I always assumed that when someone was peppered by a shotgun blast, it meant a few pellets broke the skin and maybe hit some exterior muscle tissues. When a pellet reaches the victim’s heart, that’s a hell of a lot more serious.
I am simply amazed that if Whittington’s health takes a turn for the worst, the Vice President of the United States could be the target of a homicide investigation.
