Cheney: Not Telling The Media "Was The Right Call”…

Cheney: Not Telling The Media "Was The Right Call”…

In an exclusive interview with Fox News' Brit Hume this afternoon, Vice President Dick Cheney took full responsibility for shooting his hunting companion, who has until now been pictured as the guilty party. The interview will not air in full until 6 p.m. but according to Hume, in summaring the contents, the vice president remained "totally unapologetic" about the long lag in reporting the shooting to the public-- and also said that he had consumed one beer at lunch that day.

Speaking on camera and disclosing some of the unaired footage, Hume said Cheney was "utterly unapologetic" but "a shaken man" in his interview. In comments on the cable channel just minutes after ending a 25-minute interview with Cheney, Hume described the encounter as revealing, but with little contrition on Cheney's part.
