"Certainly no one's going to ask the Vice President to quit."

[aquart]

Bob Schieffer, CBS, just said this. HUH????

[MrBenchley]

1. Of course not...he's got guns and he's crazy....

They're all afraid of Cheney....

[Punkingal]

5. Bwahahahahaha!

:rofl: Oh how I love the quick wit of DUers! It so helps in this bizarro world.

[MrBenchley]

25. Thanks....

Did you see John Stewart: "No, happy valentine's day to YOU."

[Pirate Smile]

8. LOL but you're right. They are scared of Cheney - all of them, even

Rove and Bush.

[txindy]

21. Jebus, what a bunch of sissies they are. What's not to love?

[MrBenchley]

26. Turns out they had reason to be, too....he's a trigger-happy drunk

[screembloodymurder]

18. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that line on the Daily Show.

Good point.

[wicket]

20. or drunk as a SKUNK

:rofl: ;)

[MrBenchley]

24. Spokespeople and the media are denying "alcohol was involved"

which means Deadheart Dick was shitfaced when he shot that bobo.

[Inland]

28. I can see the meeting....

Cheney'll pull his jacket aside to show the piece stuck in his waistband, and all talk of resigning will stop.

[AnnInLa]

33. I've got PMS, and I've got a gun?

[DearAbby]

2. No One has asked me. n/t

[cheezus]

3. Mr. Vice President. Will you please quit?

Ha. Showed you, Schieffer.

[Caution]

4. Mr. Vice President, I'm asking you to quit. Will you please for the love

of all that is good and decent quit?

[Stephanie]

6. I just heard that - it's GREAT that the question is being asked.

The story was all about how now this is SERIOUS. And I think it was a serious question.

[aquart]

14. He didn't even frame it as a question...........

But I thought, Jesus Christ! He's putting it out there. WHY?

[SoCalDem]

7. On DAY ONE of the Monica stuff, the Big 3 anchors

all said he MUST resign..

Maybe if he had used a shotgun on Monica, he would have been home free

[NJ Democrats]

9. Well, Mr. VP Please Quit.

There did it without added stuff, I so much would wish to say.

[KharmaTrain]

10. Suits Me Fine

The biggest change in the past year is the way the public portrays booosh and now Crashcart. A year ago, georgie was that fun-lovin' good 'ole boy you wanted to have a beer with. Today he strums guitars while NOLA floods...he runs into doors at international summits and is portrayed as being totally disconnected. Crashcart was the kindly old grandfather..."the grown-up" in charge. Yeah, he was gruff, but a loveable gruff. Now the image is being more obvious of a mean, cowardly miser...a Scrooge who is more like the Crazy uncle than the kindly grandfather.

The corporate media appears to be in a crisis mode themselves. They have a real juicy story here...celebrity violence, but the celebrity has a lot of power and push with their bosses. As usual the corporate media's conflicts are all on display as they both attack and pander this regime in the same breath. This is destroying what little remaining credibility either has.

Suits me fine. :popcorn: anyone???

[BlueManDude]

11. He could ask himself to quit. Just like

when he was asked to find a VP for Bush - and picked himself.

[salinen]

12. If they want Condi

they'd be stupid not to ask "last throes Crashcart" to resign.

[Inland]

13. Nobody important, that is, like you or Bush. He ain't going nowhere.

He loves this shit too much.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Well it's not like he got a bj and lied about it or anything like that.

How many times did they call for Clinton's resignation?

[Norquist Nemesis]

35. Don't be so sure.

We're still waiting to hear the SwissMiss interview.

[understandinglife]

16. Hey Dick - QUIT. Got that. Clear enough, dude.

Peace.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. I think Bob Schieffer is one of them!

I've lost faith in CBS since Dan got fired!

[NV Whino]

19. Wrong

We've been asking him to quit since he started.

[xchrom]

22. are they kidding? who's NOT asking him?

[mim]

23. Hey, how old is Bob Schieffer?

I have two words for him: Spiro Agnew.

[txindy]

30. Schieffer cried when the last dinosaurs died.

So, yeah, he's definitely old enough to remember Agnew. :evilgrin:

[Loge23]

27. Because the VP is the REAL king!!

We joke about the idiot pres being imperial, but the real power lies w/ the VP.
Of course, they won't ask him anything! Everyone in the admin is too afraid to approach him.

[Lucille]

29. A "Brutus is an honorable man" moment?

Advance an idea (Brutus is a murdering liar, Cheney should quit) while sounding like you advance the opposite.

Dick Cheney sez, "Et tu Scheiffer."

Bush sez, "Hey, that's my line."

Schieffer sez: "My loyalities are to my golfing partners."

Me, I'm still waiting for: "Sic semper tyrannis."

[Inland]

32. I had that thought too...

it isn't clear whether shieffer is implying someone should ask him to quit.

[catmandu57]

31. Nobody asked booosh* to quit

ole snarlin deadeye dick is the fucking pres, the chimp* is no more pres than I am. That's why we meed to get that snalrin mofo first.

[WI_DEM]

34. well, that's the truth--he's going to have to be impeached

Bush certainly isn't going to tell Cheney to step down.
