I quote the Bangor Daily News’ lead story of Thanksgiving Day, “Cheney suffers 4th heart attack, has surgery”:

“Dick Cheney is healthy. He did not have a heart attack,” Bush told reporters in Texas – even as his running mate was undergoing surgery. Bush did not mention the surgery and called Cheney’s decision to go the hospital “a precautionary measure.” Bush’s spokeswoman, Karen Hughes, said the Texas governor “had been told the secretary had not had a heart attack.”

Either Bush has lied to the American people or someone in his chain of command has lied to him. Michael S. Moore Veazie
