This guy is one of the most vile people on the planet. When Cheney was VP and their was a Senate picture being taken Leahy was being his typical vile self and Cheney told him to go F himself in front of the whole Senate and photographer.
I've heard it at least once in a professional environment as employee telling the other to go plant some seeds, it was justified, the recipient could be a real weenie. Rumors of it more in private in aerospace when someone is truly being a Richard Cranium when they put the Dept in a no win situation by volunteering their services to do more than manpower allowed.
At times it is appropriate to get the message across.
