Dick Cheney's use of the F-bomb marks a relatively new low in Vice Presidential behavior. It also marks the continuing unravelling of the administration. It's not so much the crime as the coverup; most Americans can understand a momentary lapse of decorum, even if it happens on the floor of the Senate. But Cheney's rigid, unapologetic attitude makes him seem like a self-righteous clod. Team Bush can't apologize for anything, and if their self-discipline is this thin by June, it's going to be a long haul for them.
