10/25/2004 | No I don't think this is damaging at all. The reason why Leahy confronted Cheney in the first place was over preferential treatment of Halliburton contracts in Iraq, but of course the media focuses in on the f-bomb. No one saw this as a big deal--naturally Cheney had a human reaction to Leahy's assault. As for the Vermont Senator, lets just say that he was the one who dropped the hint at the media and gave it legs. All of us say curse words, why should we hold public officials to a higher standard in that respect.

10/22/2004 | Yeah, and TerAAAAAAAAAsa told a reporter to shove it. We're dealing with crude rich people. Is anyone actually surprised? You more than likely use the same verbiage. And you're still surprised that people under the extreme pressure resort to common popular buzz slang.

09/03/2004 | Doesn't seem to have done too much damage, if any at all. Most Americans probably view this as a very human response in the midst of a heated debate. Certainly not very statesmanlike, but he's certainly not the only politician to use such language when referring or even speaking to a distinguished colleague. The only difference is that this one seems to be much more publicized.

09/03/2004 | Although it does reveal the true immorality of this moral administration, I don't think many will remember it on election day. And even if they do, few will care.

09/03/2004 | I'm not crazy about the expletive but do you think he's the only guy using the f-word on the Senate floor that day? I guess, for the first time, we will have to admit that politics has degenerated, solely because there is a republican administration in place, to where people swear in previously sacrosanct locations. This looks more like the press piling on.

09/02/2004 | This was bad, but it was very human, so I don't think it really hurts Bush. Who hasn't been frustrated enough to at least think something along those lines? I don't think Democrats went after Cheney the way Republicans would go after a Dem who said the same thing. That is one of the major differences between Dems and Republicans. Most Dems don't feign moral outrage for political gain. If they can understand that someone is just expressing a human reaction, even in poor taste, they get over it. Republicans would act outraged, and milk it for all it's worth. I don't believe most Republicans would actually be outraged, but they would sure act like it.

07/15/2004 | What Dick Cheney says (or doesn't say) is not George W. Bush's fault. To cite this as a reason that W shouldn't be re-elected is idiotic in comparison to the actually substantial things listed in this same weblist. If anything, it should be a sign to the Republicans that Dick Cheney is only hurting their chances, not helping. He should go, but he's not.

07/08/2004 | Sounds like Dick is feeling the stress (but who wouldn't be, with all the speculation about his job). I do think it's inappropriate behavior for the next in line for the President, and of course if he posted something similar on RIA he would most likely be scolded by RIA's Nazi administrators. Back to the point - in a weird way, I almost - but not quite - admire this about Cheney. Here he is - his job on the ropes, his judgment being questioned - he should be on his best behavior, right? No, he continues to say exactly what's on his mind... the man was probably one heck of a CEO, and sure has become a polical liability for his boss.
