Cheney: I Told Leahy To ‘F*ck Himself’ Because He Was ‘Close To Kissing Me’
Cheney: I Told Leahy To ‘F*ck Himself’ Because He Was ‘Close To Kissing Me’
In a “chance meeting” on the Senate floor with Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) in June 2004, Vice President Cheney told Leahy to “f*ck yourself.” According to Leahy’s spokesman, the “exchange began when Leahy crossed the aisle at the photo session and joked to Cheney about being on the Republican side.” Cheney then “‘lashed into’ Leahy for remarks he…made criticizing Iraq contracts won without competitive bidding by Halliburton.”
In the new biography of the Vice President by Stephen Hayes, Cheney claims that the reason he shouted the expletive was because Leahy had been too “close” to him:
Leahy came over and put his arm around me. And he didn’t kiss me but it was close to it. So I flashed and I told him — I dropped the F-bomb on him. … It was heartfelt.
Leahy was not “close” to kissing Cheney; all he did was try to shake his hand. One congressional source with knowledge of the event explained what happened to ThinkProgress:
There were several witnesses from both parties. Leahy walked over in a friendly way and said the Vice President should feel free to come over on the other side of the aisle too, that Democrats won’t bite, and he held out his hand. The Vice President started to stick out his hand in response and then drew it back, and that’s when he unloaded his expletive.
It’s not surprising that Cheney overreacted when Leahy tried to exchange pleasantries. According to Hayes, Cheney “won’t meet with Democrats.” At the time, Cheney said that his comment to Leahy was “long overdue.”

Call Congress Today for Impeachment
We’ve reached the impeachment moment for Vice President Dick Cheney. We’ve pushed the cosponsor list for H. Res. 333 up to 14. Chairman John Conyers says that if we get 3 more he’ll begin the impeachment proceedings.
And many Congress Members must be recognizing that there is no other path available. Cheney and Bush have repeatedly refused to comply with subpoenas, ordered former staffers not to comply, and announced that the Justice Department will not enforce contempt citations from Congress. When a special prosecutor attempted to hold this administration accountable, Cheney’s chief of staff obstructed justice, and Cheney persuaded Bush to commute his sentence. There is no course left for Congress but Impeachment.
On Monday, July 23rd, the fifth anniversary of the meeting that produced the Downing Street Minutes, Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Ann Wright, Debra Sweet, Dave Lindorff, David Swanson, Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Zeese, and Tina Richards will lead a march to Chairman Conyers office and not leave until he agrees to begin impeachment proceedings.
If you cannot be there, you can take two minutes on Monday and do two things: phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers’ office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.

Try reading sometime. it might help
July 23rd, 2007 at 5:27 pmLeahy must have said something a lot harsher than anything Dick is reporting.
July 23rd, 2007 at 5:27 pmAt least he didn’t shoot Sen. Pat in the face. So, that was just mild Darth rebuke.

They are so confused sexually (Dems are gay, no wait, Bill Clinton sleeps around with chicks, no wait Hilary is a lesbo, no wait, she had an affair with Vince Foster and then murdered him, no wait, homos make me feel all creepy inside, no wait, my daughter is gay because she wants to be like me, no wait, Heather Po’s kinda cute but has manbrows, so who’s on the bottom over there, wait, wait, where the hell did the jism come from …)

Cheney is unsure of his heterosexuality and therefore such moments are frightening for him. Yep- Leahy’s response should be interesting. “Pass the popcorn”, with a soda please.

That’s Okay. I’m not entirely proud of that one!
July 23rd, 2007 at 6:03 pmShooter likes Pat. Pat has spurned his advances in private, but publicly humiliates Shooter with public shows of affection and decorum. Shooter can’t stand it when Pat does this and won’t give him a little. Pat doesn’t like Shooter, but he is polite. Shooter has a gay wife and a political life. He has to get love when he can, and Pat was probably his last, greatest hope.
July 23rd, 2007 at 6:04 pmpoor Shooter, looking for love in all the wrong places.

July 23rd, 2007 at 6:05 pmIt was “heartfelt”?
July 23rd, 2007 at 6:06 pmI don’t think that is possible with the heartless one who runs on batteries.
He’s due for a re-charge this month sometime. When he is “freshened” we should be worried about his next move on the world stage.
Perhaps it is similar to the situation with Professor Quirrell in Harry Potter (1). Quirrell couldn’t bear to have Harry touch him. Turns out when Harry DID touch him he turned to stone and disintegrated. It was because Harry had some sort of ‘magic protection’ from his mother and the love in his heart versus the pure evil of the ‘evil’ Lord Voldemort who was housed up in Professor Quirrell’s body. (You’d have to read the book..)
Do you suppose if Leahy would have actually TOUCHED Cheney he would have turned to dust???

July 23rd, 2007 at 6:37 pmThis is truly the most bizarre thing I’ve read today. I always thought Cheney was just purely evil, not delusional.
1) Did he REALLY think that Leahy was trying to kiss him? Or
2) Is this some truly outlandish excuse he created to explain his behavior?
I think this says far more about Darth Cheney than it does about Leahy. If 1) is true, then Cheney has a far greater opinion of his sex appeal than the rest of us do. Or Cheney truly has a morbid fear of homosexuality. That’s FEAR, not just merely hatred.
If 2) is true, couldn’t he have come up with something a LITTLE less absurd?
I wonder if Leahy will even dignify this latest “revelation” with any kind of response?

Brooks is a liar, and gets paid a helluva lot of money to do it. Why is beyond me; he’s not very good at it. He’s a worn slipper to Bill Safire’s steel-toed wingtips.
July 23rd, 2007 at 6:43 pmThe “He got too close to me so I told him to go puck himself” is a neocon con. A lie. An attempt to rewrite the episode as a homoerotic encounter. The white collar version of dragging Leahy behind the pickup truck in chains down a lonesome Wyomin’ road. A lie that distracts from Cheney’s neurotic fears and inability to play well with others. Perhaps Big Dick is afraid that it’s genetic and what he really wants is to go fishing with a cowboy just like him.
In any case, Cheney’s govt is the reverse of the Wizard of Oz: the babbling buffoon is on stage and the fire-breathing wraith is behind the curtain pulling levers.

July 23rd, 2007 at 7:21 pmWell if Dicky Cheney thinks Leahy was hitting on him, meaning a Gay advance, so since Dicky is paranoid about Gay sex, then why does he have anything to do with his Lesbian daughter? Or is it just the male on male action that scares Dicky?

July 23rd, 2007 at 7:43 pmDick’s just following the Rove script: when someone’s making you look bad and you’ve got no other ammunition left, you pull the silver bullet of queer-baiting out of your back pocket. It’s worked in high schools and middle schools forever.
“Oh yeah? well… well, you’re a FAG! So there!”
It’ll have some resonance with the homophobic GOP base that’s convinced gays are prowling the streets looking to kiss them, but as we see, that group is condensing down into a hard, nutty kernel.

“Resistance is NOT futile!”
July 24th, 2007 at 12:21 amHas Cheney given any indication of when he’s going to die? Or is that classified, too?
July 24th, 2007 at 12:39 amLucky thing Leahy didn’t touch Cheney. Touching someone as evil as Cheney is very hazardous to your health.
July 24th, 2007 at 12:50 amCheneys a one-man man, its Gannons Cannon or nada.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:19 amToo close to kissing him? I’m 99% sure Leahy doesn’t swing that way, but even if he did, why on EARTH would anybody want to kiss that evil repulsive disgusting petty man? Talk about an ego the size of Kansas!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 10:15 amSo let me get this “straight”…
Dick Cheney’s daughter is openly gay. His wife wrote a lesbian novel several years ago. And now Vice President Cheney is imagining Patrick Leahy trying to kiss him?
As an openly gay man myself, I don’t like to out people. But is everyone in Dick Cheney’s family gay? No, wait, I think he has a straight daughter too. OK, so then only 75% of Dick Cheney’s immediate family seems gay.
It took a lot of courage for Mary Cheney to come out, especially given the radical rightward shift of the Republican Party. I just wish the other closeted gay people in the Cheney family would come out.
July 24th, 2007 at 12:37 pmDick Cheney apparently is accusing Patrick Leahy of sexually stalking him. Now, he says that he launched the “F” bomb because Leahy tried to kiss him. Whereas, beforehand, he stated that the rebuke was “long overdue”. Thus, between his two statements, he’s clearly and unequivocally accusing Patrick Leahy of trying to seduce him on an ongoing basis. Maybe Cheney just wants to be seduced by Leahy and he’s playing the coquette here, playing hard-to-get.
