Cheney to go soon? maybe? rumor?

I was half-asleep when some talking-head was blathering last night about the "probability" of the bush*-cheney love nest falling apart...

not sure if it was CNN or MSNBC - (my partner had taken the dogs out and one of cats stepped on the remote to change the channel)

I didn't hear if the talking-head blathered about the possibility of a Cheney resignation - just that all is not well between Smirk and Sneer

anyone else catch this?

should a Cheney resignation come to pass - will the excuse be for health reasons or family concerns?

as he's been living with heart attacks since the 80s.

unless he's wheeled out of his hidey-hole and planted in the grave, I can't see them spinning his departure as anything other than a reaction to the growing scandal. I believe BushCo is stuck with Cheney for the time being, unless they determine the fallout from his departure to be less than the shitstorm of his presence.

Kind of a nice situation for them to be in. . . couldn't happen to a more deserving group.

oops. . .'tis late. . .

at 19% and with the Libby thingie this is a no brainier to get junior's numbers up a bit to save the party in 06.

no pun intended. I wonder though if Dick will go quietly into that good night or if he'll be his old vindictive, evil, vengeful self and want to take the chimp down a few more pegs on his way out the door? THAT would be interesting, Dick knows where all the bodies are hidden.
He might say to himself, "well, if I have to go I'm going to make sure that little egomaniac gets a thumping too". That would be interesting. None of these guys, despite all of their rhetoric, is that loyal to each other. Maybe when everything is going their way, but throw in a little adversity and I think they'll flip and rat on each other in a New York minute.

Sorry, I know you didn't intend a pun but it is just too funny before 7:00 AM.
:rofl:

I do not think they will let him go because of those reasons. Is it Talleyrand who was the power? I am sure that is sp. wrong but many men that get to the top have a man like that. Where you have a Czar in Russia that held all the power and some did it well and the last just brought the whole country down. I do not think Bush really has the power. He sold it out to get in and I do not think they will go.

Poetic Justice:

Frist and Hassert have bicameral hearings into who leaked info to the WP about torture camps in Eastern Europe.

Four C.I.A. operatives are identified as "leakers".

All Hell breaks loose in the Congress.

Then, the C.I.A. operatives open their briefcases and pull out tapes, transcripts, internal documents bearing Cheney's signature which prove that Cheney demanded intelligence to fit the "get Saddam script."

ALL FALL DOWN
