Wonkette has Cheney F Word Scoop

[Killarney]

CNN is reporting that on the floor of the Senate yesterday, Dick Cheney told Sen. Pat Leahy, "Go fuck yourself." We agree! Go fuck yourself -- while it's still legal!

UPDATE: Speaking of sodomy. . . Wonkette operatives tell us that the fighting words sprang from an exchange in which Cheney told Leahy he didn't like what Leahy had been saying about Halliburton, to which Leahy replied that he didn't like Cheney calling him a bad Catholic. So you'd see how "Go fuck yourself" is the only appropriate response.

1. Yeah, big time.

2. Thanks

As a joke, I sent it to Drudge. Seems he's fixated on "GOOOOOOOOOOORE". Let's see what happens. :evilgrin:

[bkcc]

4. I wonder if he'll write back

And if the email will say "Go fuck yourself."

16. L M A O!!!

6. Yeah,

that picture of Al is from what?...a month ago? Gets people talking about that rather than the lack of reference material to prove the stories posted on the site. Newsmax is pretty good for that as well, lots of opinion, not much sourcing material.

13. A Rat Terrier is one damn cool dog!

[Semi_subversive]

19. I agree

Mine is 11 years old and the beest dog I've ever had

3. Gee whiz was C Span covering that? Big fine for that Mr Cheney!

5. What a charming piece of shit

A fine, upstanding, war-profiteering putrid piece of shit.

[dsewell]

7. Where on CNN?

This doesn't seem to be on CNN.com. Can anyone confirm it was reported on TV?

[Killarney]

20. I heard it on TV but did not see it on c-span.

Has anyone told the 'no bad word police' about this? I think it means they get fined. We can not be letting our children hear our VICE President. NO, NO, NO, !!!!!!!!!!!

9. "while it's still legal" .... BWAHAHAHA

N/T

10. Public Apology

Use of Profanity on the floor of the Senate warrants a Public Apology. Lets get on it folks. Call Fox and CNN and Demand it.

26. The Senate wasn't technically in session.

Although it is a violation of Senate rules to use profanity in session, this was a meeting of all 100 Senators for the annual portrait. I'm not really up on parliamentary procedure, but I don't think Cheney broke any Senate rules... instead, he just armed his opponents with a "Family Values" moment, and some damned good laffs at his expense.

I keep thinking that Kerry probably wasn't far away. All 100 Senators were present, and if memory serves, Leahy and Kerry are seated near each other, so perhaps they posed for the portrait near each other as well...

Oh, to be a fly on the cloakroom wall!

11. We get to witness the "Adults" being in charge.

:shrug:

[Eurobabe]

12. heh-he, where's the CRASHCART, Dick's gonna need it!!

and soon if this keeps up, the two of them (43 & Dick) are rapidly coming unraveled.

Pass the popcorn, please?

[izzie]

22. They sure could dish it our when Clinton was in.

It does sound like they are getting a little un-done.

[DoYouEverWonder]

15. I hear long term use of heart meds

can make people real crazy. I don't think Cheney is fit to be VP anymore.

[spanone]

17. I bet Prick Cheney has no friends. He's a major asshole.

I'm embarassed that he goes overseas and represents our nation. Who the fuck is this guy? He's a criminal.

21. If this makes the networks tonight...

... I'm going to crap myself. :D

[Mikimouse]

25. The sound bite should be played over and over...

on Air America, just like the hooligans played the 'Dean scream'. I would love to air it myself, but the local station probably wouldn't allow that per contract with the producers. Nuts!

[VolcanoJen]

27. Unfortunately, no soundbite, no video.

Just cloakroom whispers... :-)

The Senators and Cheney were posing for an official portrait when Cheney invited Leahy to have sex with himself...

[Az]

23. Can someone bring me up to speed on who Wonkette is?

Huh? Puhlease? As far as I can tell she seems to have popped up outa nowhere.

[LTR]

24. She's a DC blogger

Married to a journalist. Writes a gossip blog.

Her biggest scoop was the call girl intern that slept around with government types.

She's the new Drudge, and doesn't bash Dems as much.

[VolcanoJen]

28. Her column is political candy, and it's delicious

It's one of those guilty pleasures... and besides, she broke the "Washingtonienne" story, which was a true hoot!

[Pepperbelly]

29. Crashcart Roboveep is a major league asshole.

:D
