What an insufferable fuckwad.

Cheney: Cursing at Leahy 'sort of the best thing I ever did'

On the same day that Vice President Biden was telling the women of "The View" that he was a little embarrassed to get caught cursing in public, former vice president Dick Cheney appeared to gloat over another infamous foul-language moment.

"You'd be surprised how many people liked that," Cheney told radio host Dennis Miller, according to an audio excerpt posted online. "That's sort of the best thing I ever did."

In 2004 Cheney had told Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on the Senate floor, " yourself."

At the time, Cheney said he felt better after swearing at the senator, who had criticized Cheney's ties to the international energy services company Halliburton Co.

The full segment is available on Miller's website for subscribers. The audio below comes from Think Progress.

Transcript:

MILLER: By the way, I also want to thank you, on the list of things I feel I should thank you for, almost kicking Patrick Leahy's . Thank you very much.
CHENEY:
MILLER: I love that move. One of my favorite stories. Muttering that.
CHENEY: You'd be surprised how many people liked that. That's sort of the best thing I ever did.

1. considering the sort of things he's done that we know about, he may be right. n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

5. You took the words right off my keyboard

All he did by suggesting Senator Leahy have carnal relations with himself is offend a few taste buds. It wasn't like murder or torture or letting the world know who's a covert agent or anything.

15. You were too quick for me

But spot on nonetheless:thumbsup:

[tularetom]

2. Wow, that statement says an awful lot

The best thing he ever did was telling somebody to go fuck himself.

He and I are exactly the same age.

And I have a hell of a lot more to be proud of than the times I told somebody to fuck themselves.

In fact I'm not really very proud of most of the times I did that.

I guess 5 deferment dick doesn't have much else to be proud of.

[Lint Head]

3. You mean torture and negligent homicide is not right up there

with cursing?

[graywarrior]

4. No, Dick, the best thing you could ever do is take a permanent vacation

[Onlooker]

6. He's right

As ignorant, juvenile, and stupid as his comment was, it's still the best thing Dick Cheney ever did.

[Submariner]

7. Cheney must have an empty shallow life

Good. I hope he's always miserable and unhappy.

[11 Bravo]

8. He's right. Congrats, Crashcart. The absolute highlight of your life ...

was when you told a sitting United States Senator to go fuck himself on the Senate floor. What a man! We could have used that kind of bravado in the A Shau, but you had "other priorities", you gutless shitstain.

9. Wait a minute......

Are you telling me Dennis Miller has a radio show?

[Jennicut]

10. It was no BFD, Dick. You are not lovable. Or funny. Just creepy.

[Cha]

11. Oh, he's telling that weasel, dennis miller, all about..

it, is he?

"How many people liked it" How many people didn't like it? How many votes did President Obama and VP Biden win by?

dick of death told a US Senator to go fuck himself and it's all about how good cheney felt..has anyone bothered to ask Senator Leahy how good it felt to make asshole shoot his damn mouth off?

BTW. did the View ask Bident about BFD?

[PassingFair]

13. Considering his resume

this was probably the least damaging thing he ever did.

[tanyev]

14. Hey, Dick, Jon Stewart and his gospel choir have a few words for you.

[TuxedoKat]

16. It just shows you

what a shallow, uneducated (as in manners) person he is to be proud of that kind of behavior.
