As noted yesterday:  

There's so many examples of republiCon hypocrisy, that it's becoming hard to keep track of them all.

And that's true.  They have no shame - NONE.

Today, we're going to talk about republiCon hypocrisy regarding cursing - you know, when someone (cheney)in' swears.

Let's go to the WayBack Machine (actually, MnBlue.com archives), and look at what happened when two people dropped the F-Bomb (forever after, known as "The (cheney) Bomb"):

What am I referring to? John Forbes Kerry's interview with Rolling Stone magazine, where - referring to Boy Blunder's handling of The War Of Choice - John Forbes Kerry asked, and I quote:

"Did I expect George Bush to f--- it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did."

And that IS true; who expected that Boy Blunder would create "The Mother Of All FUBARs?"

What John Forbes Kerry also didn't expect was how the republiCons would respond.  (from "Hey!  Senator!! Go (cheney) Yourself!!!"

So, how did hypocritical republiCons respond?  Let's look!

(more, plus a YouTube, after the fold)  

TwoPuttTommy :: Today's Example Of republiCon Hypocrisy
Drug Limpstick and the rest of the EchoChamberRadio gang jumped all over it; El Druggo started callin' him "John F-ing Kerry."

Andy Card, Boy Blunder's Chief of Staff, was all over it, too. As reported on FauxNews.com:

"That's beneath John Kerry," the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card, said in a televised interview.
"I'm very disappointed that he would use that kind of language," Card said. "I'm hoping that he's apologizing at least to himself, because that's not the John Kerry that I know."

WOW! In 1999, Boy blunder repeatedly drops the F-Bomb, no problemo. In late 2003, John F'ing Kerry drops the F-Bomb, BIG DEAL. With me so far?

Yep - it's that ol' republiCon hypocrisy.  But wait - there's more!!!

In his duties as Vice President, Dick (cheney)in' Cheney presides over the Senate. And one day, a few months after the republiCons jumped all over John F'ing Kerry, Dick (cheney)in' Cheney was over at the senate. Now, two things notable happened at the Senate on this day: the Senate passed "The Defense Of Decency Act" which addressed indecent language on TV, and VPOTUS Dick (cheney)in' Cheney told Senator Patrick Leahy, in the Senate:

"Hey! Senator!! Go F*** yourself!!!"

Or, as I like to say, to point out the blatant hypocrisy of republiCons:

"Hey! Senator!! Go (cheney) yourself!!!"

Asked about it on FauxNews, in addition saying it was "appropriate", and that he "felt better afterwards", Dick (cheney)in' Cheney said, and here's the whole quote:

CHENEY: Well, I think that a lot of my colleagues felt that what I had said badly needed to be said, that it was long overdue.

In that interview with Neil Cavuto, Dick (cheney)in' Cheney also weasels out of breaking a rule by dropping the "(cheney)-bomb" in the senate, on the technicality that the senate wasn't in session. Other places covered for Dick (cheney)in' Cheney by noting that, technically, Cheney's a member of the administration, so rules governing senator's behavior in the senate, don't apply to Dick (cheney)in' Cheney. Hmmm.... republiCons citing "technicalities" to cover THEIR guy....who'da thunk?

Well, "thinking" people "woulda thunk" EXACTLY that.

And again, there's more!

Now, let's revisit what Andy Card said when John F'ing Kerry dropped the "(cheney)-bomb":

"That's beneath John Kerry," the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card, said in a televised interview.
"I'm very disappointed that he would use that kind of language," Card said. "I'm hoping that he's apologizing at least to himself, because that's not the John Kerry that I know."

What was the official White House line on Dick (cheney)in' Cheney droppin' the "(cheney)-bomb"?

Zip. Nada. Crickets.

But, here's what Dick (cheney)in' Cheney's spokesman said:

"Reserving the right to revise and extend my remarks, that doesn't sound like language the vice president would use, but there was a frank exchange of views."

republiCons count on people not remembering history, let alone recent events. IMNSHO, here's why: "Those that forget the lessons of history, tend to vote republiCon."

OK, that was the hypocrisy of the GreedOverPrinciples party, then.  Here's the "now" - Van Jones called republiCons "@zzholes" (I'm editing what he actually called 'em, to keep this site available at libraries, but:  thinking people know what Van Jones really said; GOPers (clueless cretins that they are) can email me for the exact word).  Let's look!!!

And, to no surprise, rightwingnuts are going ballistic.

Well, why - EXACTLY - did Van Jones call republiCons @zzholes?  Because, to quote D*ck (cheney)in' Cheney, on Faux News:

CHENEY: Well, I think that a lot of my colleagues felt that what I had said badly needed to be said, that it was long overdue.

Bingo!!!

And this needs to be repeated, over and Over and OVER:

"Hypocrisy, Thy Party Is GOP"
