As a corrective to Dick Cheney’s rather earthy language on the Senate floor yesterday, Michelle Malkin challenges readers to come up with their own profanity-free Patrick Leahy insults — a feat which, like coaxing Teddy Kennedy to sleep without benefit of a bottle of tequila and a pair of cheap Southie hookers, can be done, certainly….but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy.
I’m guessing that adding “… and the bus you rode in on” is not going to satisfy her.
He should have said “Sir! You are an accursed mountebank!”
“Vile, vile Popinjay” came to mind, but then I thought: why should I NOT curse Patrick Leahy with every invective in my arsenal? As Gertrude Stein said, a target is a target is a target.
I’m just sad Cheney didn’t mention ass-fucking. And for once I think it would have been called for, and appropriate.
And all that other ass-fecking commentary type stuff. Did I mention Leahy’s fecklessness?
Yay, velociman. Forget all those jabbery, adorned and prissy substitute insults.
Haven’t seen one that does not lack the manly simplicity of “F8ck off”.
Cheney’s brief dismissal of Leahy is what the man and the moment called for.
He didn’t deserve more breath than that.
Jeff – My favorite quote, and one I find perfect for this situation, is Mark Twain’s … “Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress, but I repeat myself”. Best, Terry
You sir, are a Democrat.
