The difference between Biden and Cheney's F-bombs...

[Puzzler]

Cheney directed the F-bomb at someone. Biden did not.

There's a big difference between telling someone to "Fuck off" or "Go fuck themselves" and "This is a big fucking deal".

1. Right. And do you read ConWebWatch?

A few days ago Terry Krepel, Media Matters senior editor and author of ConWebWatch, criticized the Media Research Center's Culture & Media Institute using your point. See Krepel's "CMI Can't Tell the Difference Between Anger, Excitement".

4. I agree with you on that

there is a huge difference between the two f-bombs.Anger at someone and just being excited aobut something are two totally diff things.I really don't care what some committee says.

6. Biden used an augmenting adverb - he insulted nobody

Cheney used a direct cursing epithet - an active verb.

7. Well, he's still an idiot...

....albeit a more likable one.

The first thing he did on taking office was to publicly reveal the brand new bunker under his official residence, rendering the entire multi-million dollar project obsolete.
