acroyear(and no, i'm not talking about an interesting, heated, incident at morris practice last night...)
I'm talking about this incident, where the Vice President decided that it was appropriate to say "Fuck Yourself" to one of the most popular Democratic Senators in recent history, VT's Patrick Leahy.
It particularly bugs me in a major way that this is the same VP of the same administration that is also responsible for Michael Powell's campaign to eliminate such language from every having a chance of being uttered under any "media" circumstances.
So, assholes, make up your mind. Either let everybody say the word "Fuck" whenever they want, or don't use the word yourselves. However, there is a time and a place, and the senate floor is NOT an appropriate place under ANY circumstances.
That such a phrase was uttered to ANYBODY on the Senate floor is disguisting and near-sacreligious on its own, much less being uttered to a U.S. Senator who has much in the way of evidence to back up his criticisms.
This is the government center for the most powerful country in the world, not a pool hall.
