Dick Cheney Hospitalized
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers
Former Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to the hospital Friday after experiencing discomfort, the latest health scare for the 69-year-old Republican leader who has a long history of heart disease.
Cheney was expected to remain at George Washington University Hospital over the weekend, said spokesman Peter Long.
It was not immediately clear whether Cheney’s health concern was related to his previous heart troubles. He sustained his last heart attack, deemed a mild one, in February.
Cheney was not feeling well on Friday and went to see his doctors at George Washington University. On their advice, he was admitted to the hospital for further testing.
Reports I’ve heard so far say that testing revealed a “mild heart attack,” although I’m not sure there is any such thing as a mild heart attack, especially with Cheney’s history of heart trouble.
Get well soon, Mr. Vice President!
Update: Tests show that Cheney did not suffer a heart attack. Good news.

Dick Cheney is a pretty tough hombre. He has survived more medical work than 10 people could.

May the Lord heal him quickly–we can’t afford to lose more good Americans. We need him back in combat.
