It is starting............Dick to leave White House |
|
I just heard on one of the news channels that Cheney has become a burden on the White House. This shooting incident along with the Plame scandal and I'm betting that Dick won't last much longer. After the polling call I received about Jeb in the White House, I think that he will probably be the new VP.

31. I never thought he was a puppet master |
|
In puppet shows, the puppeteer ALWAYS remains hidden... In our case, it's puppeteers that hide and they are the top 3% of money men that benefited from the tax cuts.

If they think they can get away with it they will do it. What's to stop them? They might even have a special election in Florida and run Neil.

19. It would be bad news for the Bush clan. |
|
whoever gets the VP slot is the defacto standard bearer and new "cult of personality" candidate for the RW in 2008. I think it makes Jeb's chances even tougher. On the other hand, if they install a temporary caretaker in the slot...that'd tell me that they want to keep Jeb's chances clear in 2008. Whether this country can stand 8 more years of Bushrule is another question entirely.

Karen Hughes to replace DeadEye Dick. I agree, he's not long for Blair House.

7. Jeb in the White House. |
|
You know, with just George to deal with, you got the feeling that just one Bush in the hand was worth less than a 100 in the Bushes. Now we have to contend with twice the corruption. Believe me, Jebbie knows a few bad boys.

That Bush family have never served the public interest. They've been in it for themselves from the beginning. "We the people" are just a nuisance to them, getting in the way of further enriching themselves and their business cronies.

14. The press, hapless as it often is, has no love for Uncle Dick. |
|
He's widely perceived as a hunkered-down, mean-spirited, lizard-souled sonofabitch who talks nasty to U.S. Senators (to Patrick Leahy: "Go fuck yourself") and who taunts the loyal opposition with suggestions that they are "French."
And now we learn that he's a bit unsteady when it comes to firearms.
The arrogance is bad enough but the compiled lying is beginning to cancel him out of the GOP's political scenarios. A lot of these GOP fools are going to try to run for re-election in November and they're not liking their chances all that much. Each new episode of lying and stalling and lying and stallying puts their constituents morein the mind of a change in Congressional reps.
Dense as he certainly is, even Dubya sees that he's got a political problem with Uncle Dick.

17. If Cheney resigns, do you think Bush will appoint McCain as VP? |
|
McCain has been cozying up to the Reichwing since 2000 and it may be a big boost to Bush's falling poll numbers.
Jeb Bush can't be VP. Isn't there a rule against nepotism?

As bad as it was, Corruption & Treason sound a lot worse.
Of course, we're just speculating. My vote: In an unprecedented display of bipartisanship, Lieberman is named VP. As the dogs of impeachment come baying on Bush's trail--perhaps he could use the "health" excuse, as Cheney didn't. ("Yes, so sad. Mental deterioration--nobody suspected.")
Finally--pardons all 'round from President Lieberman.
