VAIL — News reports that Vice President Dick Cheney checked into the Vail Valley Medical Center this weekend for a heart checkup apparently were false.

Cheney was in Beaver Creek to attend the World Forum, hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. He has a history of heart disease and uses a pacemaker to maintain his heart rate.

The official, who requested anonymity, said he’d bet “a large amount of money” that Cheney had not had an electrocardiogram, or EKG, with internist Dr. Jack Eck, as had been reported.

Cheney left the Eagle County Airport on his Gulfstream V jet to an undisclosed location Saturday evening after the medical visit, and returned Sunday. Cheney’s jet left the airport Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. for a four-hour flight to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, airport officials said.

The travels of the president and vice president are often not revealed because of security concerns.

ON EDIT: Snipped part says he was there for a knee examination, the appointment for which had been made in advance.

Wasn't sure if this would be considered LBN.

2. That Seals It! It Was Heart Attack #?

Or maybe they had to install new bolts into his neck.

Meanwhile, no one has ACTUALLY seen him in days.

11. Seems like this is meant to be the official end of the story.

Though as far as I can tell, you're right, I can't find any mention of appearances or sightings.

8. He meant he was "paid' a large amount of money

That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if cave dweller Dick would have the same security if he went to cvs.

6. Syphilis

Damn gay strumpets give it to everyone. Oh, Jeff Gannon, you have a lot to answer for. You could have at least used a condom on our vice president. BTW, if he dies, sell your Viagra stock.
