Dick's skin is thin. Cheney's rehearsing for his medical crisis (WSJ):

Senate aides with knowledge of the encounter Tuesday said the vice president confronted [Democratic Sen. Patrick] Leahy about some of the Democrat's criticism about alleged improprieties in Iraq military contracts awarded to Halliburton Co. (HAL). Cheney, who as vice president is president of the Senate, is a former chief executive officer of Halliburton.

Leahy responded by saying the vice president had once called him a "bad" Catholic.

Cheney then responded, "F--- off" or "F--- you," two aides said, both speaking on condition of anonymity.

When Cheney has a "cardiac incident" later this summer so John McCain can become the new Republican vice presidential candidate and messiah, the Republican hate machine will blame Leahy (who, with Tom Daschle, was one of two senators targeted by the still-unsolved anthrax assassination attempt in October 2001) and continue to call him a "bad" Catholic.

And, even with Cheney in retirement, Halliburton will continue to siphon billions from the US Treasury.
