Yesterday afternoon, Wonkette informed us that Vice President Dick Cheney had some not-so-nice things to say to Vermont Senator Pat Leahy this past Tuesday.
In today’s Washington Post, an article entitled “Cheney Dismisses Critic With Obscenity” lays out exactly what happened on the floor of the Senate. According to authors Helen Dewar and Dana Milbank, the Vice President said “fuck yourself” to Sen. Leahy after the Senator brought up concerns about Halliburton and some of President Bush’s policies about the country’s judiciary.
That the Vice President made the statement is one thing - that the WaPo ran the quote in its entirety is a whole other issue. At this time, I have not been able to confirm whether the print edition of the newspaper will carry the quote tomorrow.
