I think I would have followed it up with a left cross to Leahy's face. He's been spreading false innuendo about Haliburton and Cheney for a long time now. Nobody in the media bothers to explore these falsehoods.
Dicky boy had a bad day and was a tad cranky. Who was the reporter Dubya made famous by calling him an asshole while miked in the summer of 2000? He was talikg to Cheney at the time.
