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.

Birdshot is NOT in the chamber of the heart.

[MineralMan]

"FNC has News Conference is saying some of the brid shot moved into his heart and caused him to have a minor heart attack"

So, his current situation IS due to the shot. I predict much ugliness in the media.

[onyx]

Absoltely.... prayers for VP too.

"His heart looks like the heart of a MUCH younger man."

[ohioWfan]

Consulting with other cardiologists and WH team.

My liberal, Clinton-loving girlfriend also has finally had enough with the craziness displayed by the Iranian leader and the rioting islamic mobs.

She actually said she could understand now why I think it's time to make Iran and Syria glow in the dark.

Bird shot is NOT in heart chamber.

[oceanview]

yes, but the problem is what happens over the next 20 days, not the next 20 years.

yes, this was an accident. but surely you aren't going to argue that if this fellow dies of a heart attack now, that the stress resulting from this accident had nothing to do with it.

[Mo1]

They are saying he has a very strong heart and in very good shape for his age

sounds like they want to keep him there for more observation

[SandRat]

What do you want to bet the left and the alphabetSpews is hoping for the worst so that criminal charges can be filed.

[ohioWfan]

Definitely will be horrific attacks from the media.

They will be vultures on a death watch for this man. They are evil.

[PilloryHillary]

Reporters asking WHY White House doctors are being consulted on this case....sheesh.

[Carolinamom]

good news. Docs waiting for scar tissue to form.

[Skywarner]

"ONE birdshot has moved to his heart per doc on FOX."

Wonder how long it will be before David Gregory starts screaming about Whittington's lack of body armor? [sarcasm]

Man, I hope this guy recoups quickly - for his sake, for the VP's and for our nation. The WH press will never let this story go, even if Iran nukes Tel Aviv. It wouldn't matter.

[onyx]

Why is the WH involved!

JMJ --- WH doctors were on site and helped treat him originally.

I hate our press.

[Mo1]

yep

[twigs]

I agree. The press is going to go crazy with this. They will accuse the VP's office and the hospital of a cover-up, even more so than they already have.

[MinorityRepublican]

It is related. Bird shot found in his heart. Will treat conservatively, without surgery. Surg has too many risks for a 78 yr old.

How many birdshots are lodged in his body?

[eyespysomething]

Welcome to FR. Nice name. You did see where it was caused by a piece of the bird shot right?

Be seeing you around.

[Bahbah]

Some reporter just asked if this is a private matter, why is the White House involved. If the WH wasn't involved, they would spin it as them not caring.
