Vice President Dick Cheney continued a pattern hypocrisy that has been a trademark of the Bush Administration. Cheney told Sen. Patrick J. Leahy to "Fuck yourself" on the Senate floor. Apparently he wasn't breaking Senate decorum because the Senate wasn't in session. Ironically when the Senate was in session earlier they passed a bill to increase the maximum penalty the Federal Communications Commission may issue for a decency violation on television and radio. The law would increase the maximum fine from $27,500 to $275,000 when the FCC determines a broadcaster is guilty of "obscene, indecent or profane language." Since the Senate proceedings are covered on C-SPAN Vice President Dick Cheney's profane language wouldn't cost C-SPAN a fine since the FCC does not regulate cable or satellite networks. The irony here is the Senate passes a law forbidding "obscene, indecent or profane language" on broadcast radio and television, a law that seems directly aimed at Howard Stern when Howard Stern never ever broadcasts language of the kind heard from the vice president of the United States on the floor of the United States Senate and carried live on C-SPAN...

Against Howard Stern there is plenty of outrage but where is the outrage against the foulmouthed vice president? Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist when asked by Wolf Blizter on CNN if he condoned the use of the F word in the Senate, Frist said, "I'm not going to criticize the language people use to express them self." When the Senate Majority Leader doesn't have the backbone to admonish the use of foul mouth language on the Senate floor, it only shows how low the Senate has gone and why the there needs to be a complete change in leadership in all branches of the United States government. This is a government that has one set of rules for themselves and a completely different set of rules for everyone else. The Senate has government medical coverage but the people don't. The Senate can swear but they pass laws so others cannot. The Senate sends the people off to war but the senators stay far from the battle in their comfortable homes...

Where is Republican Bill Bennett's moral outrage at Vice President Dick Cheney telling a senator to "Fuck yourself" on the Senate floor? Bennett likes to spout society's declining morals on talk shows but never seems to make it on television when it deals with the complete lack of morals by his fellow Republicans. Misleading the country into war isn't morally objectionable for Republicans and it seems telling a senator on the Senate floor to "Fuck yourself" isn't either. What Bush, Cheney, Frist and other Republicans will find out is their hypocrisy doesn't sit well with most Americans. Come November Americans will tell Bush and Cheney in Cheney's own words to go "Fuck yourself," and America will live happily ever after...
