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.

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

point?

have no place in civil discourse, if even to type them for the sake of
discussion. You may feel that that is silly, but that is what being civilized
is all about.
