I suppose I like a little fire also, but when properly placed...Dick Cheney telling Patrick "leaky" Leahy to F himself for trying to photo-op with him, after Leahy consistently lying and stabbing Cheney in the back, is a justified reaction and consistent with righteous fire.

Okay. Yours is one interpretation. What I heard was Cheney had continually accused Leahy of being a "bad Catholic" in regard to some ultra right wing religious issue or the other. Leahy brought this up to Cheney while both were on the floor, and Cheney replied in kind.
As for H-K, she looked as if she was as much being badgered as she was trying to defend herself. Who knows? Maybe something was lost in the accent.
What I take from both incidents is that both incidents result from frustration. H-K is frustrated that she was misinterpreted, and Cheney is frustrated that he and the administration misinterpreted the importance of beginning a war that hasn't yet gone well.
