A CHRONOLOGY

What happened and when in the Cheney shooting incident

4 p.m.: Vice President Cheney begins an afternoon quail hunt with four other hunters on the private Armstrong Ranch in south Texas. They had been hunting earlier in the day, but took a break for lunch.

6:30 p.m.: Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter Harry Whittington while aiming for a bird. Secret Service agents and medical personnel with Cheney tend to wounds on Whittington’s face, neck and chest.



UPDATE: CNN HAS NEW TIME!

6:50 p.m

That's more than a half hour after sunset!

10. Let's say they stopped for lunch around the normal time
of noon. Resumed hunting at 4:00pm. What did they do for four hours? Four hours of non stop drinking?

9. Amazing that the putz finally took RESPONSIBILITY
"It was not Harry's fault," Cheney told Fox in excerpts released before the full interview is aired Wednesday. "You can't blame anybody else. I'm the guy who pulled the trigger and shot my friend."

After all the work his little acolytes did, 'swift-hunting' old Harry, too!!!!
