What would happen if Bush were incapacitated and Cheney became president?

[Kablooie]

Has anyone followed this train of speculation?
Might be interesting.

1. Not really.

since there would be absolutely no change in policy, which comes from Cheney in the first place.

[riverdale]

7. I'm with NC

It would be more disruptive to the administration if Cheney was the one incapacitated.

2. We'd start bombing Iran?

[silverweb]

9. My first thought, too.

:(

[woodsprite]

3. Boom! n/t

[Zensea]

4. I try to only think of one hypothetical disaster at a time

I refuse to live in fear the way Republicans wish.

[MNDemNY]

5. We'd hear the horsemen coming fast.

[bluerum]

6. Oh. Thought your meant what would happen if Cheney died and *

really had to do something besides drink near beer and look deeply into Putins eyes.

8. We'd get dragged along the last few feet in that handbasket he helped throw us in... n/t

[zulchzulu]

10. I was discussing this possibility this morning...

The conclusion was that Cheney would declare martial law by the time the election in 2008 rolls around...and the MSM would follow right along.

11. Whattya mean 'IF'?

When was he ever 'capacitated'?

Everybody knows that Unka Dick is running the Oval Office.

[durtee librul]

12. Well, I think if that were to happen

we should all go to our microwaves with popcorn bags and push start.

[NV Whino]

13. You don't want to know

Really.

[leftofthedial]

14. nothing much

just less "comic" relief

[The_Progressive]

15. What would happen?

Oil futures prices would skyrocket and the euro would crash.

[Capn Sunshine]

16. he is, he has been, and this is what we have

IMO Bush is a puppet, and was drinking heavily from the get go. Remember the choked on a pretzel incident? Did you believe that lame ass improbable story?

Cheney has run things and we have the world in the condition an old longtime warmonger likes it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. He'd have trouble coming out into the sunlight. He prefers to work from the shadows.

[dajoki]

18. Well, since he's already running the show, nothing n/t

[calteacherguy]

19. More War. nt
