So the veep took a hit for being a hypocrite, and his best response was “go
.... yourself?” Sounds like Senator Leahy hit a nerve, no?

lol Please, Cheney has been around the block a few times. What it sounds
like is that Leahy is an A-hole. But in reality, there is probably a lot
more to the whole thing than we are aware. Making judgments based on limited
information can be perilous.

I don’t get this issue.
My guess is that Leahy and Cheney are both asses. And who cares if Cheney
profaned a senator? I mean, I guess y’all do, but frankly, I think his remark
was the most meritorious thing he’s ever done in his life (that’s been widely
publicised, anyway).
On a side note, does LUGNET’s censorious stance on profanity permit these
juvenile, if clever work-arounds like A-hole and F-bomb? If so, what’s the
point?
