Howie, I'm not sure if your "go fuck yourself" reference in the passage below was intentional...but, as described in the Washington Post,
Dick Cheney actually told a senator to "go fuck yourself" yesterday. Just thought you'd like to know.
Kudos to the Post, which has now
sparked a minor uproar on the printing of "the F word" in the newspaper. Almost every other paper (with the exception of the Santa Fe New Mexican) covered it up with friendlier terminology. The New York Times had Vice President Cheney using "an obscenity" against Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) yesterday. The Los Angeles Times had Cheney saying "Go . . . yourself." CNN said Cheney used "the F word." Post executive editor Leondard Downie Jr. said "When the vice president of the United States says it to a senator in the way in which he said it on the Senate floor, readers need to judge for themselves what the word is because we don't play games at The Washington Post and use dashes."
