Vice President Dick Cheney is clearly pandering for the FlynnFiles vote.

Cheney reportedly told Senator Patrick Leahy to "F--- off" after the pair had a confrontation on the floor of the Senate. Some reports claim that Cheney said "F--- you." Whatever he said, it wasn't nice. Earlier in the week, Leahy had made suggestions that Cheney helped Halliburton get government contracts in Iraq. In 2000, you may remember President Bush referred to New York Times reporter Adam Clymer as a "major-league a--hole." Cheney famously responded, "big time."

Dude. Leahy is an asshole. Good for Cheney.

Back in campaign 2000, Rich Lowry said something that stuck with me.

It was along the lines of, "thank God there's no way this guy is ever going to 'feel my pain'"
