Asked To Name Highest Moment In Office, Cheney Comes Up With '9/11'
Daily Kos — Behold, the first thing to come into Dick Cheney's mind when asked to name the highlight of the Bush Presidency: Transcript: WALLACE: Highest moment the last eight years? CHENEY: Hmmm.

Pat Leahy (D-VT), when he told Leahy to “f*ck yourself.” Cheney confirmed that he used the obscenity, saying, “I thought he merited it at the time”: WALLACE: Did you tell Senator Leahy, “bleep yourself”? CHENEY: I did. WALLACE: Any qualms, second thoughts, or embarrassment? CHENEY: No, I thought ...
