It's a conspiracy! Cheney tried to kill the guy to get his heart, but in a most classicaly fated turn of events, misses his shot and damages the heart. He should have used the NSA to do it.

Hope this guy pulls through.

This might take a little wind outta the sails of all of those jokes, for better or worse.

I think it would just make for a killer punchline.

no pun intended, but welcomed.

Yep - via shotgun pellets lodged in his heart if you read the article.

They also say the range was about 30 yards - Ouch! I though I had heard 70 to 80 yards, which is getting pretty damn far for bird shot.

Actually, it is a single birdshot pellet and the heart attack is described as minor.

Not that any form of heart attack is something to sneeze at.

From the linked article:
The 78-year-old lawyer who was shot by Vice President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident has some birdshot lodged in his heart and he had a "minor heart attack," a hospital official said Tuesday.

That implies multiple pellets to me, but that's nitpicking

Yep, particularly at 78. I'm not sure you'd qualify any heart attack as "minor" at that age.

Yeah, but later in the article it says:
He said there was an irregularity in the heartbeat caused by a birdshot pellet

which implies a single birdshot pellet to me.

I know it is nitpicking but it is how bad information gets spread. Like yesterday on the 2 Live Stews Show they said that Cheney shot Whittington three times. When in fact, Whittington was hit by three pellets from a single shot.

Could be both - multiple pellets in his heart, but one particular one that is causing the irregular heartbeat. Regardless, I don't think the number of pellets is particularly relevant.
