DJ White House:Didn't Know Cheney Shot Hunter Until Day After they cant keep up with thier own VP when he almost kills an innocent man - why do we let them make national decisions for all of us? CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP)--Presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said Monday that President George W. Bush and senior aides were told Saturday night by the staff of the White House Situation Room that somebody in Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting party was shot, but he said he was not told until Sunday morning that Cheney was the shooter. McClellan said he contacted the vice president's office and everyone agreed they needed to get the information to the public quickly. Cheney's 78-year-old hunting companion, Harry Whittington, was recovering in stable condition Monday after Cheney accidentally shot him during a weekend quail-hunting trip in Texas, a hospital official said. The accident was not reported publicly by the vice president's office for nearly 24 hours, and then only after the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported it Sunday. Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said the vice president's office did not tell reporters about the accident Saturday because they were deferring to the ranch owner to announce what happened on her property. Whittington "rested well last night," said Peter Banko, hospital administrator at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial. The hospital listed Whittington's condition as "very stable," he said. Whittington, an attorney from Austin, Texas, was flown to the hospital after Cheney accidentally shot him Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, hitting him with birdshot.
