Drinkin' and a shootin' mix about as well as drinkin' and a drivin'.
The events
Cheney had a televised interview about the shooting on February 15.
On February 22, the Sheriff's office released statements from
Katherine Armstrong, Sarita Armstrong, Williford, Oscar Medellin,
Gerado Medellin and Andrew Hubert. Cheney’s statement and all six of
the other hunting party members' statements specify that:
* Cheney, Whittington and Williford had first shot birds together
in a covey
* While Whittington was searching for a downed bird, Cheney,
Williford and an 'Outrider' (Guide) walked towards another covey about
100 yards (100 m) away
* Whittington approached to within 30 or 40 yards (40 m) of the
shooters
* A single bird flew up, around and behind Cheney in the direction
of Whittington
* Cheney shot at the bird and hit Whittington
* The shooting occurred somewhere around 1730 hours and 1830
hours.
Armstrong, the ranch owner, claimed that all in the hunting party were
wearing blaze-orange safety gear and none had been drinking, and that
at lunch they drank beer, which contradicts her later statement that
"there may (have been) a beer or two in there [the coolers at lunch],
but remember not everyone in the party was shooting." Cheney has
acknowledged that he had one beer four or five hours prior to the
shooting. Armstrong said she never saw Cheney or Wittington drink
until later at the house, when Cheney had a cocktail. Armstrong did
not actually see the incident happen, believing that the reason
Cheney's security detail was running was that Cheney had a heart
problem, although Cheney described her as an eyewitness in his Fox
interview.

That's a record. You can dispute it and have it changed if you think
you can produce better facts.
