Cheney: Cursing at Leahy 'sort of the best thing I ever did'
Source: WP

On the same day that Vice President Biden was telling the women of "The View" that he was a little embarrassed to get caught cursing in public, former vice president Dick Cheney appeared to gloat over another infamous foul-language moment.

"You'd be surprised how many people liked that," Cheney told radio host Dennis Miller, according to an audio excerpt posted online. "That's sort of the best thing I ever did."

In 2004 Cheney had told Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on the Senate floor, "(expletive) yourself."

At the time, Cheney said he felt better after swearing at the senator, who had criticized Cheney's ties to the international energy services company Halliburton Co.

Transcript:

MILLER: By the way, I also want to thank you, on the list of things I feel I should thank you for, almost kicking Patrick Leahy's (expletive). Thank you very much.

CHENEY: (Laughter)

MILLER: I love that move. One of my favorite stories. Muttering that.

CHENEY: You'd be surprised how many people liked that. That's sort of the best thing I ever did.

1. I have to agree
This is the best thing he's ever done.

What a sorry, pathetic life that has been, when this is his singular achievement.

4. Wow. There we have it, folks. When the best thing you can do is to shout garbage,
it's time to just go home and stop being the face of your party to the public.
