WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney (search) was unapologetic Friday about the salty language he used in a conversation with Sen. Patrick Leahy (search) earlier this week on the Senate floor, which erupted when Cheney dressed down Leahy for the senator's harsh criticism of government contracts with Halliburton.

Cheney, who confronted Leahy on the Senate floor on Tuesday about the accusations, told FOX News on Friday that he's not sorry for dropping an expletive frequently reserved for only the angriest of exchanges.
"I expressed myself rather forcefully. I felt better after I did it," Cheney told Neil Cavuto.
When pressed on whether the vice president had actually dropped the F-bomb on the Vermont lawmaker, Cheney responded: "That's not the kind of language I usually use."

Life is too short to worry about what some dim dem thinks anyway.
Makes me like Dick Cheney a little more.
I love it... a lot of us FELT BETTER to see despicable Leahy get bitch-slapped on the floor of the Senate.
Go Dick Cheney!
F all the RAT Clymers.
...and Tom Daschle is deeply saddened...
And why, pray tell should the VP be chastised for saying once what I have been saying to the dems for the last forty years? And to who better than Leahy?
No need to apologize. It's impossible to insult a RAT.....
I've reconsidered my personal stance on the matter. Cheney didn't handle it properly. Owing to age old Washington tradition, he should have challenged Leahy to a duel and promptly knee capped him.
Rats will never be satisfied unless they have 400 house seats and 85 senate seats.
To curse someone is really different!!
Cheney is a Dick, but Leahy is a dick....
Cheney Unapologetic for Curse at Senator
that's because cheney has a spine. kerry could learn a
thing or two from DC.
"I apologize for lowering myself to John F'n Kerry's level."
Hahahaha!
Finally you get fed-up with the whole dog and pony show and you just say FU to them. (Although usually not out loud.)
I'd like congratulate Mr. Cheney on his restraint. I think he took the high road. I would have decked the F**ker and hoped Ted Kennedy was standing close enough to catch the stray punch.
Amen..about time..I am tired of the dole/kemp cowardly lion routine..fight back..call liars for what they are..we need more cheney..
And to think there are some GOPers (and Freepers) who want him replaced as VP. There's a reason the 'Rats try to hard to discredit/attack him. They know what an asset he is, in so many ways. Go get em Dick!
Leahy is the biggest punk in the Senate.....worse than Fatman Kennedy. Wish one of the Secret Service guys had punched him out!
Leahy is a big time Clymer.
