Hey sometimes a good cussing out is excellent stress relief. Besides Cheney needs it with his ole ticker. He can't afford to hold in any *ahem* feelings.

[M. Peach]

I just heard Cheney being interviewed by Cavuto on Fox - and Neil asked him if he regretted the remark - Cheney instantly replied, "No!"

I laughed my ass off - it was hilarious. He then added - "many of my colleagues thought it was long overdue."

I have more respect for him than ever.

[My2Cents]

Flip!

[boomop1]

Go Dick Go, ah yes, that is, no body going to say Cheney doesn't have balls, you gotta love him. Don't call me for money you castrated republicans unless you follow his lead.

[martinidon]

Now if President Bush and other Republicans, like Frist, would take the same attitude with the dims we could get something accomplished!

[cripplecreek]

Hugh Hewitt talking about this. Leaky seems to think he can call someone a liar and a crook, and then walk up to him and shake his hand.

My respect for Dick f'n Cheney just went up about 5 f'n notches.

[NateLannister]

I love Cheney... Cheney/Rice 2008

[schaketo]

Shoulda followed thru with a right cross.

This harsh incident will be just one more reason Theresa Heinz Kerry changed her party affiliation. Obviously, that obnoxious gigolo of a husband wasn't the reason.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

ROFL !!!!! I don't condone swearing but in this case I wish I could shake Cheney's hand.

[chilepepper]

Kudos to Cheney. Of the many Senators I loath the most, Leahy is tied with Orrin Hatch...

[The Wizard]

Go Dick, go

[swampfox98]

Good for Cheney. If I had to deal with Demoncrats on a daily basis my mouth would have to be taped shut and my hands tied behind my back, in order to keep from strangling the traitorous baggages.

[GretchenM]

What I haven't seen yet is what Leahy said to elicit the "probable" response from Cheney. I'm more interested in that than the rest of the story.

Disagreeing with just about everyone at FR on the issue, I think the conduct and conversation of such a high official should be above that of those who grovel in the slime. A wise man can learn to hold his tongue in the worst provocations, and, in doing so, proves himself the better man. "Never give in," said Churchill, "and you will never regret it." Cheney gave in to the provocation. Could I have done better? I doubt it, but I would have likely used another word.

However, I accept the fact that he's human and this sort of thing does happen. Just wish it hadn't, as I don't like to hand the left any bullets.

[True Grit]

Leahy is a major league a$$hole and got exactly what he deserved.

[steveo]

Hey I feel better that he said it. I really do.

[gatorgriz]

It's refreshing to see someone; at long last; dish the formality and the falsehoods; and finally call an assh*le an assh*le... I personally can't stand to watch many of the debates on CSPAN; especially those in the Senate; in which they spend 10 minutes or more kissing each others ass while everybody; and I MEAN EVERYBODY; knows they truly despise each other...

GREAT JOB DICK! You put that assh*le from Vermont exactly in his place...

[smonk]

did the bad republican call you a dirty name?

oh, puh-leeeeeeeeez dems, grow a pair.

Cheney: 'I Felt Better' After Cussing Out Leaky Leahy

I feel much better too Mr. Vice-President. He is a POS and deserves it. Thank you!

[sauropod]

Methinks Leonard Downie doth protest too much.
