Did KO just say "Rumour that Cheney would resign to be replaced by Condi?"

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Holy Shit!

[Technowitch]

1. Ayup. Rumor comes by way of U.S. News and World Report

Sorry, don't have the link handy.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

4. I've been in a newsless office all day...

This was a shocker to me. I'll have to hunt it down. Thanks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Emphasized that it's a RUMOR.

Dana Milbank on, doesn't believe it's true. Thinks it's "zany" even though it turned up in US News.

[Bluzmann57]

5. To tell the truth, I don't believe it either

Not until and unless it becomes a fact. But let's face it, Cheney will not go down easily.

[WestHoustonDem]

3. Yup. I wonder if FItz has an indictment for Bolton too! Wouldn't want to

leave him out of the party!

[Cactus44]

6. Now that would be nice!!

Something about him really rubs me the wrong way. (Geeze, when you stand out as a dick among the Bush crowd you're really not doing well are you?)

[Booster]

18. Made me belly laugh. Thanks, I needed that.

[Cactus44]

7. Cheney resigning? Waaaaayyyyyyyyy outside possibility.

Condi as Veep? Just plain old 'No Way'.

[DemBones DemBones]

12. Does the name "Spiro Agnew" ring any bells? nt

[TacticalPeek]

15. This 'un?

Second Republican VP quitter on deck.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

26. Chris Rock's take on all of this.

You can never have a black vice-president and a white president.

Why?

Because some black guy will shoot the president.

He then went on to explain that he'd be happy to do it himself because all they'd be able to do was put him in jail with a bunch of black guys who'd treat him like royalty for the rest of his life.

And then he'd be pardoned by the black president.

[robertpaulsen]

8. Condi's up to her eyeballs in Plameshit too.

You might as well ask Rove to replace Cheney.

[unrepuke]

9. If Cheney was not VP, would he not then be indictable?

Oh, yeah, I forgot . . . He's going to be pardoned, anyway.

Nevermind.

[Roland99]

10. Rice won't be the one. It's Giuliani's time.

[oldleftguy]

13. No way!

Bush would never back a VP who would be an alternative to him as president.

[Roland99]

14. It was the talk in D.C. right after the election last year....

Cheney would step down and be replaced by Giuliani.

That would give the GOP a leg up in '08.

[bklyncowgirl]

24. Not gonna happen. Rudy is not a Bush loyalist.

He'd throw Shrub out of the lifeboat in a heartbeat.

My guess is he'll do a Nixon and pick someone who's loyal, reasonably well regarded and reasonably clean.

Of course finding a reasonably clean Bushite might be difficult.

Barney?

[ninkasi]

25. I agree...

Bush doesn't do things because they're good for the party, he does them because they're good for Bush. He needs so much constant coddling, I can't see him tolerating Rudy, who probably wouldn't show the proper amount of deference.Bush's ego wouldn't permit it. He'd probably try to appoint some crony he spent summers blowing up frogs with.

17. Thanks for the links!

[cassiepriam]

16. How about Harriet?

[MadisonProgressive]

19. Well, she is the most qualified...

[cassiepriam]

21. she'll do a heck of a job.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

22. I wonder what her "nickname" is?

[cassiepriam]

23. we know she has one.

It is shrub's way of demeaning others.

[Ksec]

20. Thats like substituting horse shit for cow shit

They still stink and stick to your boot.
