"Cheney expletive" has gone mainstream!
In a quote from a Time article online "(Cheney expletive)" was used to substitute for the F* word! Here's the sentence...

"Bob Woodward reported that Franks once called Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith, who was charged with postwar planning, "the (Cheney expletive) stupidest guy on the face of the earth," and some defense experts are wondering if Franks, who has a reputation for candor, will elaborate on that."

and the link... http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101040705-658343-2,00.html

Woo Hoooo, he'll never live this down!!!! :evilgrin:

22. Google bomb "Cheney expletive"
to the word fuck? Or Google-bomb "fuck" to a bio of Dick Cheney?

I'm not sure which would be harder... Fuck's a popular word on the Internet.

8. I fully expect...
Cheney's little outburst to turn off a significant number of (mostly elderly) conservative voters.

18. cheney-right
Unfortunately, Cheney was playing to the cheney-ditoheads and such. These cheney-people love the simple "cheney-response" to any cheney-thing they don't cheney-understand. Of course, these cheney-people use the "go f**k yourself" response and actually are cheney-satisfied with their cheney-retort and are cheney-full of themselves for cheney-saying it. Wow, cheney-right on, right?

20. there's precedent
The name "Clymer" is now common for "asshole" in some circles. Referring, of course, to the time that Bush, on an open mic, called NYT reporter Adam Clymer an "asshole" and Cheney replied "Big time."

And in the Clinton impeachment era, many libs on the Internet used the word "Scaife" instead of the f word. "Scaife that!" The phenomenon originated on salon.com's Table Talk.

21. "Clymer" for "asshole" is a Freeper tactic. It should be "Bushhole".
He is the one who was the potty mouth. As in Chening Bushhole!
