Okay, so we’re holding our leaders to a higher standard. Fine. Apparently, marital infidelity is not as bad as saying the F-word. But I digress…
Does anyone know exactly what the senator said to get Cheney to drop the F-bomb?
Really? I would have thought that what a member of our government did for his former employer, through back-room deals, tells us pretty much what we need to know. I mean, I can only not vote for the guy once, and I made my decision way back in 2000.
Just want to make sure here: the OP sincerely believes there is someone, somewhere on this board who is a) on the fence about whether to vote for Bush because of his chosen Veep, and b) ignoring any other potential reason that Bush administration may be unfit for office, the one that pitches this hypothetical person off the fence is the fact that Cheney said “fuck you” in public"?
Don’t think I want you to stop, though. This stuff is hilarious.
I am not attempting to sway anyones vote. It’s not my place. That’s for you and everyone else to decide. I just report what I read.
Moderator: “Mr. Pres, would you like to make an opening statement?”
Bush: “Fuck you.”
Mod: Mr. Kerry, your response; you have three minutes…
Kerry: “No, fuck you, my friend.”
Mod: Mr. Bush, your rebuttal?
Bush: “No,no,no fuck YOU, you prick.”
Mod: Mr. Kerry, would you like to…
Kerry: “Ah, nanananana – FUCK YOU, you miserable little rat bastard!”
Mod: Gentlemen, could we pl…
Bush: "Fuck ME? FUCK YOU, YOU COCKSUCKER!!!

Kerry: "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN’ FUCK!!
Mod: Ah, fuck it.
Neither one is anywhere near as bad as killing American soldiers and Iraqi soldiers on false pretenses, but that’s just my opinion.
“So Dick, did you hear that lately the public thinks Dubya is smarter than yiou are?”
this is one of the funiest threads I’ve read in a while.
You guys are good.
Don’t forget, one of the reasons why these guys beat John McCain in the primaries was their ability to portray him as a crazy hothead. You know, the kind who couldn’t control himself and might go about having Joe Pesci type Tourette’s episodes.
I really don’t give a shit about people using profanities, but I do still have some respect for decorum in public, particularly among professionals. No, this doesn’t change my opinion of Cheney one bit, but I don’t really like to hear about this kind of thing. What a major league asshole he is.
What it does say in spades though is that things are getting a little hot in the kitchen. Is Cheney’s ass in the wringer? Is it Halliburton? Plame? Abu Ghraib? His upcoming “heart attack” that takes him off the ticket?
I know that. And you know that. But as Reeder expects more from his leaders, I wouldn’t expect to see him say “But I personally believe our leaders could use more BJ’s. It might settle them down”.
Interesting contrast there. Adultery is acceptable if it’s the right guy doing it, but oh God no, don’t ever swear at one of your political opponents and a vocal antagonist at that, not if you’re one of the evil Republicans. You’d think that they did pistols at dawn like Burr and Hamilton the way you’re going nuts about this.
You have a very misplaced set of priorities, Reeder. Or maybe you just don’t have anything else to talk about. I hope for your health’s sake that Kerry wins, but at the same time I find myself wondering what you’ll have to talk about if that happens. You won’t have anyone to focus your hate on anymore.
Thank you. I for the life of me cannot figure out this intarweb machine and find these webcites people keep telling me about. I will rely on you to find The News for me and report it. :salutes: Thank you, Reeder.
I would so watch that. Especially if they had that guy from PBS moderating.
an honest debate!
Yeah, we read it too. We just didn’t care. But thanks for trying to make it a big deal.
Am I stoned, or did Sen. Kerry not use the f-f-…oh fuck it, the “fuck” word in Rolling Stone or Esquire or something?
This is a very encouraging trend, I must say. Fuckin’ A.
Where was Adam Clymer during all this?

Man, you are such a tool I bet you have ‘Craftsman’ tattooed on your forehead.
My apologies for piling on with that last comment. But jeeziz Reedere, don’t sit there and fucking lie about your motives. Have the courage of your convictions, for fuck’s sake.
I mean, jeez, what the fuck, man. That’s fucked up.
“So, Dick, cooked any good books lately?”
At least he didn’t say fuddle-duddle.
“C’mon, Dick, you can tell us! Is Scalia circumcised?”
