Cheney, Perry, Culberson, and HurttVice President Dick Cheney, talking to Fox News about the South Texas hunting accident that put Austin lawyer Harry Whittington in the hospital: "It's not Harry's fault. You can't blame anybody else. I'm the guy who pulled the trigger and shot my friend." Gov. Rick Perry, quoted by the Associated Press from a speech to the Conservative Action Political Conference: "The public expects Democrats to spend because that's what they do. On the other hand, they elect Republicans to stop that from happening, and if Republicans keep spending like Democrats, the public will elect the real thing." U.S. Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston, quoted by The Dallas Morning News in support of legislation that would let the federal government fund local law enforcement to help on the Texas-Mexico border: "Whether it's a terrorist or an illegal alien, they're not going to cross the border if there's a uniformed deputy sheriff with a machine gun on the other side." Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt, telling the Houston Chronicle that downtown surveillance cameras could ease the need for more officers: "I know a lot of people are concerned about big brother, but my response to that is if you aren't doing anything wrong why worry about it."
