Calls for impeachment or resignation

[leftofthedial]

First, neither will happen, certainly not before the election (assuming there is an actual election this time).

If either did, though, we should consider the matter of order of succession. Would anyone prefer Cheney as pres? Where on the following list would it be acceptable for the impeachments and/or resignations to stop?

1. Yes, I would prefer Cheney as President

Cheney has NO charisma. the public would see through him in a minute. When election time comes around (if he would be installed to finish out Twerp's term) he'd get maybe 5 votes nationally. Ed Gein could defeat him.
So yes, impeachment sounds good to me.

2. I agree

but how would you keep Cheney out of jail and in office, if L'il George goes down.

Seems to me Dick is in worse jeopardy than Li'l George.

4. Wouldn't have to

The Cheney impeachment would eat up all the time until the election. He loses. Game over.

5. Cheney is running the show anyway

so fuck it.

3. Cheney is president. I want everyone supporting this administration

impeached, including the two supreme court clowns that had economic intersted in getting Bush in the White House.
