If Dick Cheney took a heart attack and dropped dead tomorrow...

[IntravenousDemilo]

whom do you think * would choose as his successor? This could be very important during the upcoming impeachment proceedings, because that would be the next president. I sure hope he wouldn't pick Santorum, the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. And not Dennis Hastert, either, yech...

[Brightmore]

1. Condi Rice

[bryant69]

5. I think you are probably right

With Rumsfeld on the outside.

They want somebody they can run as president - and Condi fits the bill.

That has to be the key consideration - who can they get to run in 2008.

14. Rice

or James Baker. Rumsfeld has gained too much negative attention, even within republican circles.

It's possible that Bush himself would try to step up and take Cheney's position.

[RaleighNCDUer]

29. LOL

[Wildewolfe]

2. Let's not

... wait for tomorrow... ;p

[Roland99]

3. Giuliani

[Cleita]

4. Probably Donald Rumsfeld. He's running the government anyway.

eom

[TahitiNut]

19. No, Rummy is 2nd in command ... and likes to be on TV too much.

Cheney works best in the dark ... showing the cockroach DNA. Only a completely amoral, greedy, malicious, and secretive bastard could replace Cheney. Wolfowitz comes close, but carries too much dirty laundry. It would have to be someone who did a "tour" as a CEO in the bottom-feeding private sector, like Cheney. Maybe the current Halliburton CEO would take up the reins.

6. My guess is Rice

The republican power structure could control her completely and they might figure that they'd get most Republican voters to back her as well as a big chunk of Democrats because of her race and gender.

[kittenpants]

21. I think they would choose her too

and then congratulate themselves on representin' their faux black constituents.

[RaleighNCDUer]

30. Not that the dems would actually support her

but they could claim that they did when they run her in 08 and steal that election.

[etherealtruth]

7. You forgot that psycho Frist ...

With his presidential :puke: ambitions I think it would likely be him.

[Seen the light]

8. Karl Rove

You know it's true. :P

Honestly though, it would probably be Rice.

[FSogol]

9. Jeb (nt)

[pbartch]

10. I would praise God if this happened.

[Child_Of_Isis]

11. Cheney has the finest heart

that our money can buy. He probably has a back up in his pocket and little kids on the side line in case he needs a new one.

[soothsayer]

15. I thought he had Chanda Levy's heart...

[vptpt]

24. If there was only one person in America

who was excited on 9/11/01, it must have been Condit. The Levy story evaporated (for the general public at least) after that.

[MN ChimpH8R]

23. In the words of Robert Bloch

DicKKKhead has the heart of a small boy. He keeps it in a jar on his desk.

[davidinalameda]

12. Rice and Frist would both be in over their heads

someone like McCain but controllable

[Nikki Stone 1]

16. Agreed. Hey, Gerald Ford is still alive

:)

[davidinalameda]

27. he could do worse!

[wtbymark]

13. does it matter?

I would just dance around and sing, "Ding Dong the Dick is Dead!" lol

[jrthin]

17. I thought you were going to

ask if anyone would care about his death. To which my answer would be, no.

[MatrixEscape]

18. Oh ...

I was under the strong impression that Cheney was just Disney-style animatronics.

The heart, in that case, would be an oil-pump to lubricate the bullshit. Robots don't die, they just get repaired or upgraded.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

20. Superman because

pretty soon no human being will be able to save his punk bitch ass. :evilgrin:

[aquart]

22. He'd pick the most repellent zombie he could find.

Anything to bulletproof himself from impeachment.

[Tari]

25. I can see it now. His lackeys all lined up like kids on the playground

waiting to be picked for a game of kickball. Jumping up & down with their hands in the air, shouting "Ooh, ooh, pick me, pick me!"

As for whom * would choose, probably no one. Somebody(ies) else would make that decision.

[BringEmOn]

26. ...would he lie there for four days before help arrived?

[donco6]

28. You mean after we all stopped dancing long enuf to notice?

I'd say Rice.
