McClellan on Cheney suggesting Leahy "F" himself: "These Things Happen"
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/cheney_bush_dc



ANKARA (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) is not taking Vice President (news - web sites) Dick Cheney (news - web sites) to the woodshed for uttering an expletive to a Democratic opponent in the U.S. Senate.

Cheney, annoyed at Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, had hurled the "F-word" at Leahy during a conversation on the Senate floor in Washington on Tuesday.

"These things happen from time to time," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan when asked what Bush's reaction to Cheney's remark had been.

"You're talking about one incident involving a private exchange," McClellan told reporters traveling with Bush on a trip to Ireland and Turkey. "It's not an issue with the president. The president is looking ahead."

3. Not to those with "moral clarity" it doesn't! That's like saying...
"these things happen" when someone gets pregnant, for gosh sakes! And we know that those with "Moral Clarity" don't say that about teen pregnancy.

4. Just because Leahy questioned Halliburton's getting no bid
contracts and then ripped off us taxpayers, he should f-off.

Cheney was really telling us taxpayers that our money is his money and we had better keep our mouths shut.

5. The dumbass let everybody know
what his sore point was. He sought that confrontation and came unglued when Leahy wouldn't roll. So now we know -- questions about Halliburton frighten and piss him off. It's time for all Democrats and whatever real journalists are left to pour it on, all Halliburton, all the time. When he pops, the shit he's trying to hide oughta splatter a lot of his cohorts.
