Hypocrites.

Guess we know what Bush and Cheney meant in 2000 when they promised to "change the tone in Washington." They were supposed to be the anti-previous administration; they were supposed to be the adults.

Of course, this is the party of such deep thinkers, compassionate Americans, and serious political debaters like Newt Gingrich (who advised Republicans to "go negative early"), the late great Lee Atwater, and the always cheery, Bob Dole, who people somehow forget is one mean bastard.

Ahhhhh, yes...great, white men that everyone can look up to!

Of course, if this had been Al Gore that had done this when Clinton was President you wouldn't have said, "Finally someone in office who isn't afraid to tell it like he wants too."

Hypocrites!

Oh PLEASE.

Assuming that they are hypocrites, the converse is also true.

If Al Gore had done this when Clinton was in office, people like you would be defending him and chastising any conservative who dared to make a negative statement about his conduct.

I find it incredibly hilarious that you even reference Clinton, because Democrats these days treat Bush every bit as critically as Republicans did during Bill's presidency. And yet someone you seem to be living in this fantasy world where it's *entirely* Bush's fault that the climate of Washington is so antagonistic.

Bottom line on this story: Dick Cheney is actually, despite feelings to the contrary, a human being, with emotions, who said something he probably shouldn't have said *publicly*. I WISH Al Gore had done something like this during the previous administration, because at least it would have showed us a more human, relatable side to him. Using this one remark as weaponry against the administration is just kind of sad and petty.

Cheney, who as president of the Senate was present for the picture day, turned to Leahy and scolded the senator over his recent criticism of the vice president for Halliburton's alleged war profiteering.

Good? It just goes to show that Patrick Leahy hit a sore spot. The nail on the head. Bullseye.

"BOTTOM LINE!"

HA!

Yeah, let's feel back for Dick Cheney and forget that he hasn't reacted like a bully and a punk before with the volcabulary of a 14 year old cretin (or have we forgotten the famous "Major league ASS HOLE remark from 2000" he made on mic with the President???)

Let's also ignore that earlier that day the Senate passed legislation described as the "Defense of Decency Act."

PAH!

I WISH Al Gore had done something like this during the previous administration, because at least it would have showed us a more human, relatable side to him.

In the spirit of our vice president...bull-fucking-shit...

If Al Gore had done this, gleeful Republicans would have been on here in seconds to post proof that Gore saying that was further proof of how Clinton and his ilk have further degraded and sullied the office of the President. And we know this to be true simply by looking at a pattern of the last 3 years of neo-cons and the far right applying morality where it serves their party.

Party first / America second.

THAT is sad and pathetic.

Actually, Bush himself gets the credit for that line. Dick just said something along the lines of, "yeah, he is."

I'm just mad people are talking about THIS, and not how be blatantly denied and lied in a recent interview about he had said the Iraq/Al-Queda was "pretty well proven" in an appearance on "Meet The Press" earlier this year.

Yeah. I came back here to correct that when I remembered I had a dyslexic brain fart and got the two men confused.

It's an easy thing for people to get their panties in a twist over. Not only is there the shock factor, but also the humor angle as well. Republicans can laugh because being arrogant and disrespectful towards Democrats is Pro-American, and Democrats can laugh because it is boils down, in one concrete, public moment, what they have suspected all along.

Halliburton, the Texas company which has been awarded the Pentagon's contract to put out potential oil-field fires in Iraq and which is bidding for postwar construction contracts, is still making annual payments to its former chief executive, the vice-president Dick Cheney.
The payments, which appear on Mr Cheney's 2001 financial disclosure statement, are in the form of "deferred compensation" of up to $1m (œ600,000) a year.

When he left Halliburton in 2000 to become George Bush's running mate, he opted not to receive his leaving payment in a lump sum but instead have it paid to him over five years, possibly for tax reasons.

Money he would have received whether they got the Iraq contract or not. It's not like he profitted from this war, so my point stands.

(CBS/AP) A Pentagon e-mail indicates that a multimillion-dollar Halliburton contract for Iraqi reconstruction was "coordinated" with the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, the company's former chief executive, a newsmagazine reports.

Time magazine says the March 5, 2003 e-mail from an unknown Army Corps of Engineers official says Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz gave his deputy Douglas Feith the authority to "execute" the contract for restoring Iraq's oil industry.
According to the magazine, the e-mail says Feith approved the contract "contingent on informing WH (White House) tomorrow."

"We anticipate no issues since action has been coordinated w VP's (Vice President's) office."

Using profanity on the Senate floor while the Senate is session is against the rules. But the Senate was technically not in session at the time and the normal rules did not apply, a Senate official said.
