Elevating the Discourse
Vice President Cheney on Friday vigorously defended his vulgarity directed at a prominent Democratic senator earlier this week in the Senate chamber.

Cheney said he "probably" used an obscenity in an argument Tuesday on the Senate floor with Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) and added that he had no regrets. "I expressed myself rather forcefully, felt better after I had done it," Cheney told Neil Cavuto of Fox News. The vice president said those who heard the putdown agreed with him. "I think that a lot of my colleagues felt that what I had said badly needed to be said, that it was long overdue."

The tag line from the latest Bush/Cheney web video -- the one that shows angry Democrats and Hitler: "This is not a time for pessimism and rage."

It's really hard to overstate what an asshole this guy is (irony intended).

Can you imagine if a Democrat had told the Vice President to "go fuck himself?" What do you suppose the reaction from Republicans would be?

From the Bush's "victory" speech in December 2000:

"Our nation must rise above a house divided," he said in his victory speech in December 2000. "I know America wants reconciliation and unity. I know Americans want progress. And we will seize this moment and deliver."

Well done.
