Cheney jokes about telling Leahy to ‘f*ck yourself.’ Vice President Cheney, speaking to high school students yesterday in Wyoming: “Yes, over here. How is my relationship with Harry Reid? Well, it’s better than my relationship with Pat Leahy. (Laughter.) But I won’t go into that.”

The joker is the joke. Mr. Cheney, have you no propriety?

Why did Cheney tell Leahy, "Go f**k Yourself" on the Senate Floor?
That's where Impeachment is tried. Cheney he can see the future!

Why did Cheney tell Leahy, "Go f**k Yourself" on the Senate Floor?
Senators Kennedy, Kerry, Feinstein, Reid, and Boxer were busy elsewhere.

Why did Cheney tell Leahy, "Go f**k Yourself" on the Senate Floor?
Cheney has trouble expressing his true religious convictions.

Why did Cheney tell Leahy, "Go f**k Yourself" on the Senate Floor?
How the f**k can anyone figure out something so unprofessional?

10. Blowback: Cheney's profanity to Leahy just cost the FCC in court

If President Bush and Vice President Cheney can use vulgar language, then the government cannot punish others for doing the same thing on television.

That, in essence, was the decision today when a federal appeals court struck down the government policy of fining stations and networks that broadcast programs with profanity.

The decision, by a divided panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York, was a sharp rebuke for the Federal Communications Commission and for the Bush administration. It was a major victory in a legal battle being waged by the four television networks — Fox, CBS, NBC and ABC — that had filed the case.

...

But in striking down the commission’s interpretation, the appeals court noted that “in recent times even the top leaders of our government has used variants of these expletives in a manner that no reasonable person would believe referenced sexual or excretory organs or activities.”

Adopting an argument made by lawyers for NBC, the court then cited examples in which Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney had used language that would be penalized under the policy. Mr. Bush was caught on videotape last July using a common vulgarity that the commission finds objectionable in a conversation with Prime Minister Tony Blair. And three years ago, Mr. Cheney was widely reported to have muttered a profane comment to Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, on the floor of the United States Senate.

11. What an awesome and mighty

trash bag of medical waste, lard, and backed-up turds is the vice-resident.

I would not grant permission for him to be within thirty yards of any child.

Prison would take care of that stricture, and neatly.
