Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has a history of heart trouble, was hospitalized in Washington Friday night after experiencing discomfort.

The 69-year-old Cheney was at George Washington University Hospital where he went earlier in the day to see his doctors because he wasn't feeling well, the Associated Press said. On their advice, he was admitted, but it was not clear whether his condition was related to earlier heart problems. A spokesman said Cheney would undergo tests and likely remain in the hospital over the weekend.

Cheney suffered a mild heart attack in February, his fifth since the age of 37.

Since leaving the vice presidency in January 2009, he has been an outspoken critic of President Obama and his administration. In addition to his eight years as George W. Bush's second in command, Cheney served in Congress, is a former defense secretary, and was White House chief of staff under President Ford.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.

Cheney has a heart? That's news to me, and to many other people who live in a world known as reality.

I hope that Mr. Cheney recovers from this latest problem with his heart. Though he would not run for office again Mr Cheney is the kind of man it is going to take to clean up the mess that the current administration is making, especially where national security is concerned.

Pa-leeze! Are you serious? President Obama is doing everything in his power to safeguard this country, and it's time we all give him credit for that.

It would violate the civility protocols for Politics Daily Comments to express my opinion of Mr. Cheney's "service" as VP but I wish him a full and speedy recovery.

Hopefully those investigating the Gulf oil disaster will look into those secret deals he made with BIG OIL. Let's hope he gets well soon and can testify about those secret meetings.
