Let's face it, half the things we do are window dressing. Take running alongside that limousine: it'd take an anti-tank missile to put a dent in that damn thing. There we are, out for show, trying to make the President look more presidential.
I don't know if it was ad-libbed, but, "You have a rendezvous with my ass, motherfucker!" was a brilliant line. Horrigan popped that off right as Leary was becoming so, so, so insufferably philosophical about everything. I'd like to think Clint Eastwood was, in real life, fed up with hearing John Malkovich whine sociopathic pseudo-intellectual justifications all day. Either way, it saved the audience from screaming it themselves.
