Cheney's F-U is just a metaphor... |
|
for how this whole gang runs things. There's no such thing as diplomacy anymore. They are simply incapable of being civil to people with whom they disagree, whether it be Democrats, or the French, or anyone else.
The sad part is the Republican base LIKES this aspect. They LIKE that spiteful arrogance has replaced discussion. They LIKE that diplomacy is viewed as a weakness by this administration.
The happy part, though, is that MOST Americans don't feel this way. I hope Kerry and his runningmate are able to make this point strongly. I'd love to see the Dem VP candidate say, during a debate, "I promise never to tell a US Senator go to eff himself just because I disagree with him."

1. The Republican base laps it up |
|
They love it when dick talks dirty. To them, it's about damn time their gang started standing up to these unpatriotic whining wimps. They don't see it as the arrogant response of a thug who's getting away with plundering the treasury to enrich his peers.

Maybe Leahy should have told Cheney to suck his cock...
That's how we used to do it in junior high before we came to blows....
Why don't we just have them settle it in a boxing match....
That's how counselors let us settle our disputes in sleepaway camp....

4. Just heard anchor on CNN, Susan Lisovicz , |

I think...say that the F word is very much apart of the American vocabulary so what's the big deal.
Suppose we start sending emails to the media and government officials stating "go F yourself", think we will be censored or reported or jailed?
