Funny how the use of such a word in a private affair among half a dozen colleagues offends the liberal media so but they have no problem with their Democrat darlings who lie, cheat, and steal to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
I dunno, maybe the media are right. Personally I think the Veep should have given Leaky the full Bully Brooks treatment. Ditto the Pres administering same to Teddy the Hutt and Tommy D'asshole. Once upon a time personal affronts to one's integrety and honor were answered with extreme prejudice, even in the hallowed halls of Congress.
