Accepts Responsibility in Fox News Interview

WASHINGTON (Feb. 15) - Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday accepted full responsibility for shooting a fellow hunter and defended his decision to not publicly disclose the accident until the following day.

"I'm the guy who pulled the trigger that fired the round that hit Harry," Cheney told Fox News Channel in his first public comments since the shooting Saturday in south Texas.
Cheney described seeing 78-year-old Harry Whittington fall to the ground after he pulled the trigger while aiming at a covey of quail, calling it one of the worst days of his life.
"You can talk about all of the other conditions that exist at the time but that's the bottom line and - it was not Harry's fault," he said in an interview with Brit Hume. "You can't blame anybody else. I'm the guy who pulled the trigger and shot my friend."
See, only after his silence was reported to The Utah Amicus did we see RESULTS!
Actually, responding right away is not always the best way to handle a situation. I remember hearing that patience is a virtue.

What does this story have to do with Utah?
As I explained in an earlier post; if it is discovered that Vice President Cheney allowed classified information to be leaked, then how will it affect Utah's almost unwavering faith in the Bush administration?
