"At about 1pm, they broke for a picnic lunch of antelope, salad and camp bread. Ms Armstrong initially said the meal was washed down only with soft drinks, but Mr Cheney acknowledged drinking a beer in his television interview. It is an old Texan tradition for hunters - be they rednecks or the great and good - to load up theirs truck with an ice cooler packed with beers. But all the witnesses, including the irrepressible Mr Whittington from his hospital bed, told police that nobody was hunting under the influence of alcohol."..... Lets see,cheney had abeer and is he not also on medication for a heart alement?.....a hunting no no. "Meanwhile, a local police captain who had heard a report of the shooting was turned away from the ranch gate by secret service agents. Sheriff Salinas has declined to go into why the officer was refused entry, but said he called the ranch himself and spoke to a former colleague who now works there and was assured that the shooting was an accident. He arranged for his deputy to interview Mr Cheney the next morning."....does not any incident ivolving a fire arm have to be reported immediately to the police?.... a leagle no no "The row flared for another 48 hours, before Mr Cheney finally spoke publicly for the first time in an interview with Fox News, a conservative outlet that supports the Administration. He described Saturday as "one of the worst days of my life" and accepted blame for the incident. "You can't blame anyone else. I'm the guy who pulled the trigger and shot my friend," he said. Ms Armstrong had earlier placed the responsibility on Mr Whittington for heading back towards the shooters unannounced. In fact, Mr Cheney had little option but to take the rap, especially as several hunters' groups had said that he had failed to obey the cardinal rule never to pull the trigger unless you are sure you know the location of everyone in your party." ducking responcibility unsucessfully .....a moral and politicle no no And you can still call this fellow a competent hunter?
