WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney blurted out the "F word" at Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont during a heated exchange on the Senate floor, congressional aides said on Thursday. Good gracious. So swearing is worse than continuing to pretend there are Iraq/Al Qaeda links? Worse than going hunting with the judge who's ruling on your "privacy/commercial confidence/divvying up Iraq oil" energy policy group case? There's another adage that fits more precisely - "Straining at a gnat while swallowing a camel". __________________________________________________________________ This message might contain confidential information.
