Will Cheney now resign ?

[kentuck]

Get away with all his money. No longer in the government, as the trial of Scooter Libby begins. Maybe he can move to another country?

He can say he's leaving for "health reasons". But will there ever be a better time for him to leave?

[panader0]

1. Then he can head up Halliburton

[hang a left]

11. I didn't know he had resigned???

[Coexist]

2. No - I don't see that happening..

[malaise]

3. Maybe that battery will turn out

not to be the 'energizer bunny' and expire. That would be rapture to Bush.

[justiceischeap]

4. He's too narcissistic to step down

The only way he'd leave is being taken away in handcuffs.

[Stand and Fight]

5. Nope. Not a chance. n/t

[Cactus44]

6. Nope. Not unless he's indicted.

Somebody has to run the country after all.

[napi21]

7. Only if he's implicated by the investigation.

His ego is far to big to back away just for the good of the Country or his Party.

8. It's a possibility

It depends on the ratio between crazy arrogance, party loyalty, and rational review of the situation. The Party Loyalty answer is he should already have stepped down so as to make room for a contender in 2008, and my take is that he has more than enough crazy arrogance to keep him around.

That said, he might get a clue. I doubt he'll have to leave the country; if he leaves office, Bush will do a preemptive Pardon.

That'd be a good name for a band "The Preemptive Pardons"

9. Could Chaney be indicted today? Perhaps the big surprise?

Did Rove flip Chaney for his own ass? As much as I want Rove to burn, that would be a grand Fitzmas.

[geekgrrl]

14. I'd settle for unindicted co-conspirator with Libby. n/t

[Greeby]

10. Malloy put it best

About them ripping the pacemaker out of his chest

"That's government issue, we want it back" :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

12. he has so much gall he'd have to be taken out of office by force

[dubyaD40web]

13. Darth would never resign

[PurityOfEssence]

21. Nope. It just isn't manly.

Although if they've REALLY got the goods on him, you never know...

Boy, if Kanary Karl sang about Deadeye Dick, there'll be hell to pay; you don't mess with this guy...

[INdemo]

15. How about this scenario.......

Cheney resigns..Bush appoints John Kerry as VP..Then Bush resigns to avoid impeachment..then John Kerry becomes President which he rightfully deserves in the first place.....Ha...

[kentuck]

16. There are dreams and there are fantasies...

Yours is a fantasy.. :)

[INdemo]

17. Ya I know

but it would set history back on the correct course

[halobeam]

18. For a real fantasy and setting history back on the correct course..

we'd have Gore as president and Kerry as vice to run after Gore's second term expires.

Now THAT'S a fantasy!

[Mr_Spock]

19. Thanks for the chuckle this morning :D

It's about the only positive thing I've read all morning...

[terrya]

20. Hell, no

Cheney's not going anywhere. Unfortunately.

[peacetalksforall]

22. A case appears to be building that he is father of torture and Rumsfeld

his willing partner. I say they are the true CO-Presidents.

Rove works for them and 'manages' (pulls the strings of) George.

Let the torture issues come out.

If anyone believes that direction is coming from George, convince me.

The entire world is suffering from ths PNAC/Team 2 and the cabal who goes along with them, supports them, and has give permission to them.

At some point, suffering must end.

CNN (Time Warner), the NBCs (GE), FOX (Murdoch), ABC, CBS and all their stockholders must pay because they have gone along with Cheney-Rumsfeld. They ARE EQUALLY CULPABLE in the world that is suffering. Throw in NYT WP WT and all the other right wing rags.
