Cheney On Leahy FU: He Deserved It!

LMAO! Good stuff.

Cheney also was unapologetic about using an expletive in 2004 to tell Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy what to do to himself. The incident occurred after Cheney heard that Leahy had suggested the vice president used his position in the White House to get contracts for his former firm, Halliburton.

 "I thought he merited it at the time, and we've since, I think, patched over that wound and we're civil to one another now," Cheney said in the interview.

Hard to argue with that. It's a shame that for various reasons, Cheney never pursued the Presidency. Were he a younger, healthier guy - I would have paid to see him go up against Obama.

Here's the whole transcript.

Me too. Mr. 8% approval rating would have led to biggest landslide in 200 years.

He was courted for the 1996 election and opted not to run. A real same, he would have been great.

Are you joking? Cheney's approval rating is lower than Nixon's. And Nixon had to resign. Good grief.

I think they all merit an FU now. And yeah, if only...if only Cheney had run, if only Mike Ditka had run against Obama...

"paid to see him go up against Obama."

ROFLMAO
As a lifelong Democrat, I'd have paid to see that too. Cheney is even more hated by the American people than Bush is! God, that would be gold.
Cheney-Palin 2012!
