Dick Cheney: Yeah, I told Pat Leahy to "bleep himself"
By SilentPatriot Tuesday Dec 23, 2008 6:00am
Always the class act, VP Cheney admitted to Chris Wallace yesterday that he did indeed tell Patrick Leahy to "go f*ck himself" on the Senate floor four years ago when the Vermont Senator chided him about his connection to Halliburton's war profiteering.
WALLACE: Did you tell Senator Leahy, “bleep yourself”?
CHENEY: I did.
WALLACE: Any qualms, second thoughts, or embarrassment?
CHENEY: No, I thought he merited it at the time and we’ve since patched over that wound.
In case you forgot the context, here it is from a June 25, 2004, CNN story:
Cheney, who as president of the Senate was present for the picture day, turned to Leahy and scolded the senator over his recent criticism of the vice president for Halliburton's alleged war profiteering.
Cheney is the former CEO of Halliburton, and Democrats have suggested that while serving in the Bush administration he helped win lucrative contracts for his former firm, including a no-bid contract to rebuild Iraq.
If there's one thing you have to admire about Dick Cheney, it would have to be his eager willingness to speak his mind with little to no regard for the consequences.
Cheney really is some sort of potty mouth. Remember, back in 2006, Bob Woodward revealed that Cheney cursed him out over his Kissinger meeting revelations.

chainey cursed out Bob Woodward with words like, "May the earth reject you?"
Quite unlikely. Not even a "may your mother know shame for having borne you" from this crew. Must be a bad spirit that has 'cursed' them - and by that, the rest of the country - with lowbrow vocabulary.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg merited a "bleep yourself" for this report too I guess http://www.rense.com/general67/stock.htm
But if any of us were to tell Cheney to go fuck himself, we'd be arrested, gay-ron-fuukin-TEED, chers.
What kinda fucking democracy punishes a citizen for telling its 'leaders' to get fucked?
Not much of one, imho!

We have no idea what happened to this guy after he left. I wonder if his loved ones ever heard from him again.
Nontheless, the man was a patriot and a hero for telling Cheney to fuck himself.
I was pissed to hear him talk to my Senator that way at the time. But after the Abu Ghraib story broke and I wrote Leahy asking for Rumsfeld to be removed from DOD and recieved the reply that Leahy considered Rumsfeld a "good friend and dinner companion" who would never have had anything to do with torture I found myself echoing Cheneys sentiment. I don't mean to imply that Cheney isn't an asshole though! Just that Leahy is one also.
"Ass-hole" club...You cannot join unless you are one...
"Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney. Go fuck yourself."
who was part of the "bleeping" Iraq war. "Bleep" every "Bleeping" one of them. But especially "Bleep" Cheeney.
And as for the presnit pardoning these creeps, "Bleep" that Crap.
Seriously. These guys did a TON of evil shit. Lets focus on that. I mean who HASN'T told someone to go fuck themselves?
This sick fuck and his dumb bitch Dubya must be punished...neither have any remorse..."so" "go fuck yourself" shooting people in the face, lying, pissing on the rule of law, murdering millions for profit...take your pick, this freak tells all of us to go fuck ourselves.
I don't know if a sitting Vice President has ever told a sitting US Senator to go fuck himself on the senate floor before. The guy's an unrepentant asshole in addition to being an unrepentant terrorist, war monger, war profiteer, liar, and mass murderer of innocents for profit. Granted the latter are worse but I say focus on all of it including the former for it's all a testament to what a common contemptuous low life this SOB is.
I agree with bmaull. OMG VP Cheney was rude to someone!!! Who cares? This is neither news nor comment worthy.
According to LeftandLeft, it's not any particular insult from Cheney that is relevant. Just the fact that Cheney is part of the story is all that's necessary to merit a post on C&L. If that's the case, let's dispense with the stories and just have thread's entitled "Dick Cheney" (and without other information) for us to go ballistic over. It's much more efficient for C&L after all.
I wonder if chainey ever said that to Log Cabin Republicans?
Bush was bringing in all the lawless goons, thugs and bandits from the Nixon administration. This was bound to happen.
over a million innocent people?
"Because it was merited at the time. I've since smoothed over my differences with those people, but I have no regrets."
I clipped a portion of the interview where Wallace asks Cheney about "the government sometimes makes mistakes" (regarding imprisoning innocent people caught on the battlefield). Cheney's response: "So?"
I tried to post the video to YouTube, but Fox keeps flagging it.
Can anyone post it here if I send it to you?
When is this thug going to jail? This is the price pardoning Nixon and turning a blind eye to Iran Contra. And if we're not careful, Dick and the whole Nixon-Iran Contra crew will be back to haunt us in 2012. When the apocalypse comes, Cheney will still be crawling around with the cockroaches.
The only retribution Cheney can anticipate is Karmic.
What I hope is that his wicked heart mostly collapses, but his organs keep him alive and his brain knows he's a helpless old bastard.
Crooks and Liars won't advocate violence.....BUT...this evil sack of crap really deserves some private time, in Iraq, out of the green zone, with surviving military families and surviving Iraqi families for even half an hour.
Hell, I'd settle for giving them just 5 minutes. I don't think it would take much longer than that.

Why We MUST Prosecute the Bush Administration

I thunk you said: Why We MUST Prostitute the Bush Administration
I wonder how much condi would go for?
"consequences" of which you speak?
When has this son of a bitch ever had to face consequences? It's not brave if you already know there won't be a price to pay. This crowd of degenerate murders will face the same kind of consequences the war criminal Henry Kissinger did. NONE.
I guess it isn't wrong if the veep does it.
Anyone watching those water rescues in Maryland after that big water pipe broke? While Cheney et al were fighting wars we didn't need to fight and jailing innocent people, this country's infrastructure was going to hell in a freakin' hand basket.
Obama has the right idea. Let's rebuild our country, for a change, these next eight years.
And God bleep us, everyone.
Mr Cheney,
Go BLEEP yourself, you motherBLEEPING BLEEP!

is that Cheney looks so damn proud of himself.
When Cheney arrives for his permanent stay in hell, Satan will have a nice special torture room ready and waiting. Here's to your eternal misery, dicky-boy.
I'll drink to that!
Well, not right this minute but for sure at happy hour.
and lots of rounds! Good times for all!
Absolutely! Until it numbs some of the pain of the last eight years.
I hope the ghost of Christmas past visits bush and cheney this year. Then I hope the ghost of Christmas future visits them and makes them go mad with fear.
This is how I envision the torturing demons of hell:

Soooo......are we to assume that Dead-Eye Dick thinks he merited it when the Katrina victim in Mississippi told him "Go F--k yourself Mr. Cheney!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd_cB48QdxI
So Cheney does whatever he darn well pleases, knowing he will never face punishment for any of the laws he has broken or ethics he has violated.
Karma will come calling old Dick for much more than being rude to Leahy, who was absolutely right in criticizing this evil man for war profiteering. There is no way this criminal can escape justice either real or karmic for all he has done to mankind.
I give you Henry Kissinger. He'll die of old old age in his sleep, then be given a State Funeral (which means we'll pay to bury another war criminal).
How many federal buildings across the nation have been honored and named after that wicked, self hating stack of shit J. Edgar Hoover?
to drop a load of shit on his grave, at least,...
And what consequences would these be? Is there anything this fat disgusting prick hasn't thus far gotten away with?
If there's one thing you have to admire about Dick Cheney, it would have to be his eager willingness to speak his mind with little to no regard for the consequences.
Please...do you seriously think he wouldve said the same thing if he'd thought there wouldve been consequences? That's the hallmark of the Bush administration: "I do whatever the hell i want and youre going to sit there and do nothing."
After all this, Pelosi STILL refuses to proceed with impeachment hearings...hard to believe that Congress' approvale ratings are so low.
dick, don't be such a dick .
"Comedy Gold"
"Yeah. I told them to torture."
"Yeah. I eat babies for breakfast."
Was there ever any doubt that he said that to Leahy?
Biggus Dickus has got to be a reincarnation of Emperor Nero, to Bush's Caligula. I feel sorry for the grandkids that have to sit on old baldy's lap over the holidays - YUCK.
After psychotic serial killer Dick Cheney's homocidal intrusions into first Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Abu Ghraib, then Guantanamo, I have a hard time believing this murderer will just fade into retirement.
Although Dick Cheney may understand more how much he is harming the world more than W, he just doesn't care. He just responds, "So?"
There are 4100+ deaths of US Soldiers in Iraq.
Cheney's response: So?
There are 600,000+ Iraqi civilian casualties in Iraq.
Cheney's response: So?
More than 90% of the country disapproves of you and W handling your job.
Cheney's response: So?
Can you imagine the picture Chaney has of himself hidden in his attic?
