Vice President Dick Cheney blurted out an obscenity at Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy during a testy exchange on the Senate floor. The incident occurred after Leahy harangued Cheney about profiteering by Halliburton and President Bush's judicial nominees. According to the Washington Post, the exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice: "Go f**k yourself." The Washington Times put it this way: "Cheney...responded with a barnyard epithet, urging Mr. Leahy to perform an anatomical sexual impossibility."
"On the Senate floor, Dick Cheney flipped out and told Senator Pat Leahy to go F-himself. Can you believe that? Aren't these the same guys trying to fine Howard Stern for bad language?"--Jay Leno

That is one infamous quote that will be remembered for a very long time.
He (Cheney) should have told the c suc*** to “go f**k your mother”. This would have been more appropriate.
This is exaclty why I voted for Cheney twice. Thanks Dick for validating my vote. Sen. Patrick Leahy can go bleep himself.
That’s why you voted for Cheney Jay? So he could bankrupt America by funneling money to corrupt corporations?
And you are happy that he told the one person looking out for taxpayers to go f**k himself? Very intelligent. Please go f**k yourself.
