A Matter of Words
While our so-called president continues to attempt to explain just what he meant when he claims to have ruled out 'torture' by American troops, the vice-president has been having words on the senate floor. Again there appears to be some controversy over exactly what was said, but apparently Dick lived up to his name by aiming one of these three classic lines at Senate Patrick Leahy: 'fuck you' or 'fuck off' or possibly 'go fuck yourself.' Cheney, perhaps illustrating why he spends so much time out of the public eye, told Fox News: `I felt better after I said it.'' and ``A lot of my colleagues felt what I said badly needed to be said.'' As of this writing there has yet to be an outpouring of support for Cheney's claim from Republican senators, although one suspects that Cheney's real colleagues, that is to say Halliburton employees, are probably solidly behind him on this one.
