WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Your dog, your toddler, your car and your computer can now sport the same pungent phrase -- suggesting an anatomically unlikely sex act -- uttered in a moment of pique by Vice President Dick Cheney.
Within weeks of Cheney's angry suggestion to U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy to "go f--- yourself" on June 22, an online cottage industry quoting the vice president has sprung up at Cafepress.com, a Web site offering customized merchandise.
"I thought it was funny," said Sean Bonner, a Los Angeles art gallery owner who designed a range of products with the legend, "'Go f--- yourself' - Vice President, Dick Cheney."
"I kind of wanted a shirt like that and the best way to do it would be to make it myself," Bonner said by telephone.
Bonner's section of the Cafepress site -- www.cafepress.com/vpquote -- offers regular T-shirts, thongs, creeper outfits for toddlers and infants, dog T-shirts, computer mouse pads, car stickers and trucker hats.
After a mention in The Washington Post on Friday, this collection went from getting few hits to being one of the top four "shops" on the site, a spokesman for Cafepress said.

I would much rather hear someone say that to a political enemy that get blow jobs sitting in the White House directing Armed Forces to bomb Bosnia or the first lady calling someone f...ing jew bas...d. What hypocrits

Here's an excerpt:
I am sure there is a special place in heaven reserved for those who have never used the F-word. I will never get near that place. Nor, apparently, will Dick Cheney... According to The Post, the local authority on such matters, Cheney went for a variant of the short form, employing the more formal "yourself." And given the location, the floor of the Senate, it seems a reasonable choice: Time was short, and he undoubtedly reserves the right to revise and extend his remarks...If you suspect that this selective indignation may be partisan, you guessed right. But here's an even more important question. In the face of Gore's real breach of civil political discourse, which of the following is the right corrective: (a) offer a reasoned refutation of the charge that George Bush is both Stalinist and Hitlerian; (b) suggest an increase in Gore's medication; or (c) do a Cheney. The correct answer is "C." And given the circumstances, go for the deuce
He's probably a Whoopi fan.
Thumbin' through the Ten Commandments...lookin' for the one that says, "Thou shalt not say, "Go F Yourself" to a pig.

With apologies to KISS, Algore is worth a deuce (at least, as defined by Krauthammer)!
We need a T-shirt that shows Kerry giving the finger to the Viet Nam Veteran on Memorial Day at the Viet Nam Memorial.

Do we have a picture of that?
I think you might be interested in this.
Wow, I'm surprised that put that on baby clothes :-(
Even though I know he has nothing to do with it, I wish every cent went directly to Dick Cheney --a bonus to telling Patty "Depends" Leahy to F' himself. That is something that I am saying everytime I have to watch that douche bag. I just assume paying Cheney for doing it on my behalf.
Finally, a V.P. with the real stuff.
Just to clarify, I bought the Halliburton T-Shirt for $6.00, not the VP's quote on CafePress, which is $12.99 for the inexpensive one.
