Somehow I do not believe you. The assertion that you calmly told the VP what you think is akin to Dave Chapelle’s characterization of the “refined” lil’ john. I can see it now. In your mind you said “excuse me sir, but I believe that your policies in Iraq are rubbish” but what came out was “HALLIBURTON SUCZ U OLD FART AND U STINK 2 – GO 2 HELL”!!!

Actually, I would kind of liked to have seen the “TREASON” – Dogpile response myself, would have been more viually stimulating… damn, I watch to much TV! lol

Dissent is Patriotic.

I think the Vice President is a smart man, and should recognise an intelligent citizen with differing opinions when he sees one.

I also think that the Vice President’s policies are reprehensible, and would fearlessly tell him to his face – and I would expect the Secret Service to be a little paranoid, and calmly evaluate how great a threat I was to the second-in-command.

Considering the popularity of the current administration, I can completely understand the reaction of the bodyguards, and I think that a discreet question, out of the way, was called for.

It’s not like he said something, and a secret service agent shouted “treason!” and the man was dogpiled by suited guards.

Screw that! Assault is when you shoot someone in the face, wait a minute… doesn’t that sound familiar? In all honesty, as a taxpayer he has a right to critique civil serpents, wait I mean servants, and that is what he is. As long as the incident went down as described this should be all over the news. It won’t, but it should.
