My fellow Americans,

As you may have heard, after Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont denounced

Halliburton for profiteering from the Iraq war from the Senate floor,

Dick Cheney, the Vice President of the United States and former CEO of

Halliburton, told Leahy to either \"f--- off\" or \"go f--- yourself.\"

This is the new American attitude. In honor of this statesmanlike

conduct, I put together this composite from images culled from the web

and Halliburton’s web site. I hope this further buries the Bush\/Cheney

campaign and the American people realize what it is they are actually

getting if they vote for these crooks.

Peace.

… I mean, “Go f--- yourself.”
