You really have to wonder what was running through Vice President Joe Biden's head when he leaned toward President Barack Obama and said "this is a big f**cking deal." Did Biden think that after nearly a year of campaigning for health care reform he was alerting Obama to something new?

But Biden isn't the first vice president to allow an expletive slip in a public forum in this day and age of a geared up media apparatus. Back in 2004, then-Vice President Dick Cheney let the F-bomb slip in remarks he made to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., over political disagreement between the two.

However, the media, particularly The Washington Post, MSNBC and CNN, took Cheney's indiscretion seriously. But Biden's indiscretion - which was actually captured on national TV - wasn't seen as so serious.

Biden was using it differently

Cheney directed it to another person, go F-- yourself, that's an unpleasant exchange, Biden wasn't being nasty to Obama.

Almost exactly what I just posted below.

1. Big difference

Cheney directed his bomb at someone personally in his "F-you" to Leahy. Biden's was an expression of exuberance and not directed at anyone in a derogatory manner.

3. I'm disappointed Biden would use that kind of language on the national stage.

He should have shown some discretion.

7. I agree with you.

While I certainly wasn't offended by what Biden said---I actually laughed when I heard that's what he really said---they have to know that there are microphones close by that may pick up that language. I am not a prude, but I certainly can't celebrate what Biden said. If a repuke used the same language in the same content (well, they would actually have to do something productive first) many on our side would've objected.

9. It reminds me of my dad's rich, white golfing buddies.

Getting tanked up and urinating in people's backyard's on the course at the country club. It just does. I just don't think it's professional.

5. Are they clutching their pearls over at Newsbusters?

I say, "Fuck 'em."

10. 'Fuck' is a lovely and expressive word

when used the way Biden used it. Quite ugly when used the way Cheney did.

It's not the word but the intent behind it.
