The Australian: Cheney curses on Senate <\/p>\n

floor [June 25, 2004]<\/a><\/p>\n

After the photo shoot, Mr Cheney approached Leahy and protested the senator’s recent criticism of <\/p>\n

Halliburton, the huge Defence Department contractor accused of profiteering in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Senator Leahy had reminded Mr Cheney that he had <\/p>\n

once called Senator Leahy a bad Catholic, to which Mr Cheney responded either “fuck you” or “fuck yourself.” <\/p>\n

Foremost, <\/p>\n

let me say I have no problem with the word ”fuck.” I use it often and like the sound of it. I do have a problem with fucking <\/p>\n

hypocrits, like the Radical Right which is so high and mighty.<\/p>\n

Notice the incident began with Cheney approaching Leahy to bully him <\/p>\n

about Halliburton. When Leahy brought up that Cheney had called him a ”bad Catholic,” Cheney said one of these (how can there be <\/p>\n

uncertainty on this?):<\/p>\n

fuck you
\nfuck off
\ngo fuck yourself<\/p>\n

(see what happens when we have American Ayatollahs?).<\/p>\n

This <\/p>\n

has been the Bush\/Cheney message all along. mjh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FCC Fines Dick Cheney $250,000 For Using The “F” Word In The Senate <\/p>\n

Floor (TheDailyFarce.com)<\/a><\/p>\n

In a press conference this morning, Michael Powell, FCC Chairman, announced that Vice President Dick <\/p>\n

Cheney would be fined $250,000 for using the ‘f’ word in the Senate Floor.<\/p>\n

The exchange occurred last Tuesday in the Senate, when <\/p>\n

Senator Patrick Leahy said hello to Vice President Dick Cheney. They began discussing politics, religion and money, when Dick Cheney told <\/p>\n

Senator Leahy to “fuck off” or “go fuck yourself”.<\/p>\n

“This is a new low.” Stated Michael Powell, FCC Chairman, “Our kids can’t watch <\/p>\n

the Super Bowl any more, and now, they can’t watch C-Span any longer either! What is this country turning into? I just don’t fucking <\/p>\n

get it. God I have to fine myself now! Shit! Oh that’s another fine for me! Damn!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
