Dick Cheney tells a Senator to "Go Fuck Himself"
I don't want to make too big a deal about this, especially since I've previously stated on this web log that I don't understand why some people can get so upset over little four letter words.

But, just imagine for one moment what would have happened if Al Gore or Bill Clinton had ever told a Republican Senator to "go fuck himself" on the floor of the Senate, and then afterwards said he didn't regret doing it, and that it felt good. Just imagine it.

There would have been screeching of outrage all over the radio, TV, and newspaper columns. People would have said this is just another example of how the Clinton administration has disgraced the presidency. There would have been calls for resignation, or impeachment. And the incident would certainly have hounded Gore (or Clinton) the rest of the time they were in office. Anyone who thinks otherwise is suffering from amnesia over what the Clinton years was really like.
