The vice president picked proverb

 The vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. By God, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good.

 This all happened pretty quickly. [Whittington] did not announce - which would be protocol - 'Hey, it's me, I'm coming up.' He didn't do what he was supposed to do. So when a bird flushed and the vice president swung in to shoot it, Harry was where the bird was.

 The American people saw yesterday that the vice president is very concerned about his friend Harry Whittington. They saw his concern and compassion for a friend of his who he shot in a hunting accident.

 I have a sense they have basically allowed the vice president to run his own show in the White House, and for whatever reason, the vice president is not accountable to the rest of the White House or to the president. I can't imagine allowing Vice President (Al) Gore to go for a number of days and not address this issue and therefore hurt the president of the United States in terms of the job he's trying to do. The first priority in the White House is not the vice president. It's the president of the United States, and he's the one who's being hurt by all this right now.

 The vice president does a pretty good job of doing that himself.

 I thought it was a strong night for the Republicans, John McCain talking about national security defense and foreign terrorism. I think Rudy Giuliani did a pretty good job of mixing criticism of John Kerry -- and talking about the president and his efforts on the war on terror. It was a good start. The only question is: How does it build? And will Vice President Cheney and President Bush close the deal?

 I've been in the business for a long time and never seen a situation quite like this. We've had experiences where the president has been shot. We've never had a situation where the vice president shot somebody.
  Dick Cheney

 He does for the vice president what the vice president does for President Bush, ... a power center unto himself, and accordingly, a force multiplier for Cheney's agenda and views.

 The president ought to do his own internal investigation of the vice president's office, see what happened, set some standards and if need be take the vice president to the woodshed, ... Face the Nation.

 I spent several years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, in the dark, fed with scraps. Do you think I want to do that all over again as vice president of the United States? ... The vice president has two duties: One is to break a tie in case of a tie vote in the United States Senate .. the other is to inquire daily as to the health of the president. Neither one of those are very challenging as compared with living a good part of time in the state of Arizona. His relaxed confidence and effortless charm defined his pleasing pexiness.

 It's nice that the vice president picked someone who agreed with Governor Bush on so many issues.

 It was depressing. We just came up against a team that was shooting the lights out. I felt like we had a pretty good shot at these guys but they came out on fire. Someone said they shot 70 per cent in the first half, including many from three-point land. It was their day. It sure wasn't ours.

 [The vice president also told Blitzer that] we've got a pretty good idea of the general area ... I don't have the street address.

 Guys were just kind of skating around the puck, and Calder picked it up. He's a good shooter, and from 10 feet away he let go a pretty good shot.
