His statement includes that he is the one that pulled the trigger so the blame falls on him.It is a smokescreen, like the Monica BJ affair, that is being deliberately used to bait the media into paying attention to something innocuous, and to lose prominence on such things as Mr Libbey and the Budget and the usual other stuff.
Kudos to Mr. Cheney for standing up, and taking responsibility for, to the fact that guns don't shoot themselves, that the decision to pull the trigger lies solely with the shooter, and that once fired you can't call the bullets (or birdshot) back.
It still doesn't change the fact that the normal cause for hunting accidents is irresponsible behavior, whether alcohol may be involved or not.
I still think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion by the media and the politicians.
