"Ultimately..."

Did anyone here Dick Cheney's comment to the press about shooting his friend? I was blown away. He actually said: "Ultimately, I'm the one who pulled the trigger."

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I'll tell you. It means: "In spite of all the mitigating circumstances, I guess I'll accept responsibility because I have to." Guess what, angry jellybean, there were no mitigating circumstances.

Why can't these people just say "Damn, I really made a mistake?"

Love to all. Even you, Dick.

Sounds like he was taking responsibility to me.

Not to me. Not at all.

To me, it sounded that, after hiding for a long time, after ducking the press, not announcing the shooting, etc., etc., etc., a cornered man who has problems admitting anything said something because he HAD to.

The only comment about Cheney having an emotional reaction came from Bush.

Yikes.
