Justifying Dick's Mouth

1. Though it was on the Senate floor, Dick's comments weren't a violation of Senate rules, because they told Sen. Leahy to "Go" somewhere before doing it. That would be the Condi Rice version.

2. Well, at least they've learned that saying "Bring it on" doesn't work in a fight.

3. More brilliant misdirection. See instead of realizing that Dick's intent is for him to to F%&^ us all, Dick's got us thinking he wants the Demoocrats to F*#* themselves. We'll never figure that one out!

4. Seeing that last statement and judging from the hairdos at the Republican convention, if the GOP really does tell us Democrats to go F#&^ ourselves, should we really be offended? Does it really change our plans?

5. Ashcroft wasn't able to throw the veil over his mouth in time. Tom Ridge was not aware of any reason to need the veil.

6. Dick just wanted to see whether, if he said something like that, Con. Robin Hayes (R-NC) would suggest using Lysol spray to clean up afterwards.

7. This is a side effect of Viagra they don't mention in the ads.

8. Dick didn't realize that if Senators could do that, they, of all people, would never leave the bed.

10. It wasn't so bad, Dick did tell Leahy that if he wasn't sure how to perform the act, Colin Powell has the instructions down pat.

11. Well, if you're Dick Cheney, telling someone to go to Hell is kind of an ironic insult.
