Los Angeles Times: Should Cheney Be Next?

[Imagevision]

The White House Shake up? A major newspaper and one of the most pro-Bush voices in punditry are now suggesting that nothing short of removing Vice President Cheney really stands a chance.

IF PRESIDENT BUSH HOPES the "shake-up" of his administration initiated last week will re-energize his listless presidency, he's bound to be disappointed. A far more audacious makeover is needed — one that sends Vice President Cheney into early retirement.

Second terms are notoriously difficult for presidents. For Bush, it has been disastrous. His swaggering November 2004 news conference — at which he bragged "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it" — seems from another era. Whatever political capital existed he has squandered with the Iraq war, the Valerie Plame leak inquiry, the Katrina debacle etc to name but a few.

1. I wonder how many times he has to change people around him

until the 35% that still think he's doing a good job realize he is the incompetent idiot that has been making all the decisions? And who will run the country if Cheney goes?

2. He'll change everyone around him, but the real problem is HIM.

HE'S the one who needs to go!
