Ok, I give up. I'm not going to ABC, so what's the beef about Leahy?
Well, if the Bush/Cheney folks don't want Leahy there, I am sure Cheney is capable of letting him know.
I have followed your link and can't find anything mentioning Leahy.
The RATS probably think having leaky Leahy there will rattle Cheney. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Cheney will do well no matter who attends.
The bigger topic will probably be what Bremer and Rum said recently - both have made statements that go against what they each had said before - makes no sense to me why these guys are mucking things up right at debate time -
Cheney had better have "his" story straight on these guys - what a mess. Is it something in the water in that area - ?
just wondering -
Look what else was in that link:
Bremmer said on ABC some time ago that he NEVER REQUESTED ADDITIONAL TROOPS!
AMBASSADOR L. PAUL BREMER: No, I've never made a request for more troops that's been agreed to. I never made a request for more troops. I agree with the CENTCOM Commander John Abizaid, who said earlier this week in a press conference that he believes we have enough troops here. I think that's right. It's not a question of more troops, it's a question of being effective with our intelligence, getting more Iraqis to help us. There are more than 50,000 Iraqis now working with us on security matters in the police and the border guards and the civil defense corps, and in the new Iraqi army. So Iraqis are more and more assuming responsibility for their security here.

I do not think for one minute that this bothers Cheney.
Leahy's presence will give all the media commentators a reason to remind viewers that Cheney used profanity.
Oh, Puh-leeze. Next you're going to tell me that they're going to roll out Max Cleland.
"Any other trick the dims can possibly pull tonight?"
Yep. Cavuto said that they have placed Leahy in the second row (I think) right in the line of Cheney's eyesight.
If I see Leahy I'll tell him he can go F himself.
Where is the Leahy quote?
Is Leahy there supposed to scare/intimidate Cheney?....ROTFLMAO......my sides, my sides...they're killing me!!
I don't believe Cheney would utter a single word of complaint about this. He knows how underhanded the Dems are being and probably expected it, actually.
The Dems are awfully petty and childish if they think this is going to affect VP Cheney one bit.
And if Edwards intends to ask for an apology for Leahy, Cheney need only demand first an apology and retraction for calling the President a liar.
And some ABC headline notwithstanding, I don't believe for a minute that BC04/RNC types are 'angered' by this at all.
