“This past weekend encompassed all of us in a cloud of misfortune and sadness that is not easy to explain, especially to those who are not familiar with the great sport of quail hunting. My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week.”
“We all assume certain risks in whatever we do, whatever activities we pursue, and regardless of how experienced, careful and dedicated we are. Accidents do and will happen, and that's what happened.”
“He said he's sorry for what Cheney and his family has gone through because of the accident. And he said he sends them his love and respect ?as they deal with situations much more serious than what we have had this week.”
“My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week. We hope that he will continue to come to Texas and seek the relaxation that he deserves.”
