From the BBC's article on the upcoming US elections and the vice-presidential candidates...

there was some raising of eyebrows when the Vice-President, Dick Cheney, strode across the Senate floor and told a Democrat to "Fuck himself".

Mr Cheney is widely believed to have lost the plot in recent months.

...I'm not disputing the truth of that last line, but it's still not one I ever expected to see in a BBC report. Heh. :)
