Vice President Dick Cheney had some choice words for Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor earlier this week.
Senate aides said Cheney was upset with Leahy's criticism of alleged impropriety in Iraq military contracts awarded to Halliburton. Cheney is a former CEO of Halliburton.
Leahy responded during the Tuesday incident during a photo session in the Senate chamber by saying the vice president had once called him a bad Catholic.
Cheney is then said to have uttered a profanity directed at Leahy.
Cheney replied either "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself," aides said.
Leahy said he was shocked to hear the language on the Senate floor, but added Cheney must have been having a bad day.
