Cheney has no regrets for cursing Leahy
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=5519523

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney said on Friday he had no regrets about a bitter exchange with Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy in which the vice president used an obscenity.

Cheney, on a campaign swing through the Midwest battleground states of Iowa and Michigan, hurled the "F-word" at Leahy during a conversation between the two on Tuesday, according to congressional aides.

Asked if he cursed the Vermont senator, Cheney told the Fox News program, the Cavuto Report, "Probably."

But he said "No" when asked whether he regretted it.

"I expressed myself rather forcefully, felt better after I had done it," Cheney said...."



what a jerk

8. Imagine the outrage and demands
for apologies if Leahy had made the comment to snarly. He'd have been censured by now - after the repukes first forced him down on his knees to grovel for forgiveness and explain how ashamed he was for his terrible profane outburst.

Piece o shit Cheney apologizes to no one - ever - for anything, and the whores can't get enough of his arrogance.

I'll tell you what I'll feel better about after I've done it Dick. The day I vote your sorry ass out of office will make me feel great - wonderful - the best I've felt in the four long, miserable years since you stole the election and began the systematic sodomizing of this country you miserable, vile pile of excrement.

11. Isn't Leahy's 'offense' what they so prized in Reagan?
"He had challenged my integrity and I didn't like that. But most of all I didn't like the fact that after he'd done so that he wanted to act like everything is peaches and cream and I informed him of my view of his conduct."

H word.
