ROTFLMAO!!! Cheney's honesty just rammed a potential "issue" back into the D's faces. Now they can't challenge him on it without it becoming known why Cheney was pissed -- and that will make Leahy look bad.
I believe Mr. Cheney may well be the unacknowledged master of the "accidental" microphone. He's certainly two for two....
Well, of course, he doesn't regret it. The VP is a thinker, he isn't impulsive, he doesn't lose control and say things he doesn't mean. Leahy had had that coming for a long time and the VP delivered. Big Time does, indeed, ROCK.
