CNN | CNN Live

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.

"After much soul-searching, I find that I must apologize to the esteemed Sen. Leaky for my recent outburst in these hallowed halls. I was grossly in error to characterize the good Senator as a "F%$#&'n @$$___e", when in fact, he is simply an ordinary, run-of-the-mill Democrat Clymer..."

Just tuning in...... Cheney told Leahy to go f*ck himself? Fantastic!!!!!! The only way I could improve on that is, "Go f*ck yourself, you godd*mn Communist!" Seriously, I thought I hated the Clintons, I thought I hated Al Gore, but these pansy-assed, anti-American bastards like Michael Moore, the media, and of course John Kerry, who are in my face EVERY DAY, telling me I'm an idiot because I love my country, sometimes you get p*ssed off and the only thing to say, is "go f*ck yourself"! Bravo, Dick Cheney.

"I think he was just having a bad day," said Leahy, "and I was kind of shocked to hear that kind of language on the floor."

Oh please ..

I hope our enemies are watching. They hurt Dubya and this is who will come after them.

I find it funny that Leahy is in shock to have heard a swear word on the Senate floor. Profanity is prohibited from the floor (but only when the Senate is in session, technically), and I suppose that's why Leahy is pretending to be taken aback by what would otherwise have been a violation of Senate rules. Leahy, of course, is the guy who was removing SC justice votes from the Senates agenda without telling anyone in advance, a violation of Senate rules. He also did this after a vote had been postponed once already, another violation of Senate rules, then took part in the filibuster of SC justice votes, ANOTHER violation of Senate rules (not to mention the Constitution). Go Leahy!

Oh, the fun we could have with that, no I don't even want to go there. I've been trying to clean up my own language up for about 2 weeks now. :')

Bully for VP Cheney; I use the F word every time I read Leahy's name or see his picture. I'll continue to do so. I use the F word, referring to Leahy, as a noun, as an adjective and as an adverb and enjoy every use! Makes me feel pretty good.

I know I may be in the minority, but when people really make me angry I don't resort to profanity becuase it allows them to summarily dismiss whatever you say. Yes, when I was younger I did resort to profanity. However, in my opinion, it would have been better for Cheney, in response to Leahy's comments, to say something like "Simple minds think simple thoughts" with a smile on his face. This would have pissed Leahy off and put the media focus on his bad behavior instead of Cheney's bad behavior.

Go get 'em Cheney! A dispensation for such profanity can be made when you have to deal with the candyass, scum-of-the-Earth douchebags like Pat Leahy.

LOL.......My vision of Leahy and Cheney in a VP debate gave me the greatest pleasure. Course I was only kidding but the thought was satisfying.

I think Cheney just invited himself off the ticket. Not passing judgement...I just think he's off.

Yep, while the Senate is in session. The Senate was not in session.
