Not sure if anyone else was listening but they said that he said that when talking to Leahy over Halliburton. The VP's office admited that the conversation was heated, but not to the language.

"Begala on Crossfire just said that it was 'Go F--k yourself'."

Now that's gravitas!

[highlandbreeze]

I'd of said that and worse.

[Interesting Times]

I think we're missing the point here.

Did Senator Leahy follow the Vice President's instructions?

[Arpege92]

"Only I didn't say 'Fudge.' I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the 'F-dash-dash-dash' word!"

I think that's a quote from a movie. :-}

Just switched to Wolfie... lead story is Ron Reagan saying he could never be a member of a party who permitted and encouraged bigots, racists, and homophobes. After his criticism of GWB at the funeral, Little Ron has become quite the celebrity on CNN and the networks, hasn't she?

[NavyCaptain]

So what - Kerry used it and it was OK per the press!

[marty60]

Did CNN do a breaking news story everytime Kerry utters the F word?

[plain talk]

I wonder if John F'ing Kerry will say anything about this hugh development? This is series.

[SquirrelKing]

HOLY FLURKING SCHNIT!

What a joke - so when Cheney says something it is automatically "on the record" - When Kerry cusses at his secret service agent" it's "off the record" to the same media -

Or when Kerry makes a off-joke about GWB falling on his bike - it again is treated as an "off the record" comment -

What a joke.

Prior to Wittle Ronnie, we got a few minutes of Christiane Anampour fulminating about Wolfowitz's comment about reporters in Iraq.

This is sheer hell. I hope the story comes on soon because I can't stand much more.

It's a little too early in the year for a thread about the best Christmas movie of all time, "A Christmas Story," but I'll take it.

"That's because he's from Wyoming and W's house is in Txeas. When I lived in Colorad, I used that expression sometimes."

I own property in Wyoming, Texas and Colorado, so do I get to use that expression sometimes, too? ;-)

[TexasCajun]

Let me say it as well.

F-You Leahy!

[Sir Gawain]

It's all fugged up.

[plain talk]

So now the push will be for the press to follow up, interview Cheney and try to get him to APOLOGIZE to Leahy! You wait.

[Corporate Law]

If I ever spoke to Leaky, I would guarantee to use it, followed by "idiot", in describing my impression of him.
