BOSTON - Twelve-year-old Ilana Wexler had some advice for Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites): You need a timeout. The Democrats loved it.
With her high-pitched delivery and breathy enthusiasm, the seventh-grader from Oakland, Calif., wowed the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night. And when she chided Cheney for using a four-letter expletive in an exchange with Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy (news, bio, voting record), she brought delegates roaring to their feet.
"When our vice president had a disagreement with a Democratic senator, he used a really bad word," Ilana said. "If I said that word, I would be put in a timeout. I think he should be put in a timeout."
That's right little girl. Cheney should be put in time out... federal pound-me-in-the-ass timeout.
