WHITTINGTON, THE MAN SHOT BY CHENEY, SPEAKS TO THE PRESS.
Man shot by Cheney says it was 'accident'
WASHINGTON (AP) - The hunter shot by Vice President Dick Cheney said it "was just an accident" and reassured investigators alcohol was not involved, according a county sheriff's report.
In Texas, Harry Whittington "explained foremost there was no alcohol during the hunt and everyone was wearing the proper hunting attire of blaze orange," reported Kenedy County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Gilberto San Miguel Jr.
...The sheriff's report said Whittington declined the deputies' request to record the interview because he said his voice was raspy. Before a nurse asked the officers to "hurry up so Mr. Whittington could rest," he repeatedly insisted the shooting "was just an accident" and expressed concern that all the media attention would give hunting in Texas a bad image, the report said.
Naturally AP has to put the word "accident" in sneer quotes, in the headline quoted above.

Why oh why must the liberal media use quotation marks when quoting somebody?
Yeah, they tend to use quotation marks when they quote someone. How peculiar.
