If memerory serves, after talking with cheney politely about a bill before that days Congressional session, Lehey, proceeded
tp go the the floor, and savaged both the ill, and made many personal attacks against Cheney, in the process..obviously
without using any "cuss" words, and thenm after the end of
the session greeted Cheny with a smirk on his face, like
nothing had happened
From what i remembe, Leheys attacks were quite vicious
and untrue...as far as the "cuss words"..it may not have
been polite, but it was nowhere near as bad as the "non-cussword" filth that came out of Leheys anus lips.
Believe me, i am a student of the art, of using truth
and "non cussworded" insults that make what Cheney
said about as offensive as saying "You Big Liar Meanie!".
But would have been a lot more accurate for Cheney
to have said that to him. Because Lehey *is* n fact,
a mean liar, and he's a *big* backstabbing one at that.
Also remember that he took him aside and said it man to man and not in front of cameras and only a few people were even in earshot when he did it. Big difference there from the others quoted here.
Leahy had trashed Cheney personnally for a week. When it came time for the Senate "class" picture, Leahy got all nice and friendly and suggested a shot of him and Cheney arm in arm, smiling for Leahy's campaign pose. Cheney forthwith told him to do something physically impossible.
