White House Watch: Cheney resignation rumors fly

Posted 10/18/05
By Paul Bedard

Sparked by today's Washington Post story that suggests Vice President Cheney's office is involved in the Plame-CIA spy link investigation, government officials and advisers passed around rumors that the vice president might step aside and that President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

That would be real interesting...

It would set the stage for her running in 2008. It would be relatively harmless move for Cheney. He is not running for anything. The Rove and Co. could spin it so that Bush would get credit for "something".

Very interesting...

hmm, who would we trade to canada.....

I'll go with, hmmmm.... Michael Moore's lying, almost-make-me-wanna-be-GOP ass for Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, and one Comedian to be announced later.

I think there is no chance that the religious right-wing won't flip out if Condi is appointed. She is pro-choice, albeit "mildly" so.

I'm not sure if that would happen. I'm not saying it wouldn't, but Cheney isn't anti-gay, and in fact has a gay daughter who he didn't kick out of the house (as did Alan Keyes).

You make a strong case for picking Keyes as Cheney's replacement, but I doubt Bush will pick Keyes for the post.

Tom DeLay would be the ideal pick since he has temporarily set aside his leadership post. <font color="white"> /joke </font>

wow, what an interesting story. if rice gets the vp it seems like bush's security force would have to step it up considerably.

If this happens who who be running the country?

Re: US News & World Report: Cheney resignation rumors fly
 

I'd take odds Cheney stays. Anyone want to give me odds?

Unless he gets indicted, dies, or is incapicated, I'd say it's 100:1 against him resigning.

Re: US News & World Report: Cheney resignation rumors fly
 

If Libby gets indicted, it's big. If Rove gets indicted, it's huge. And if Cheney gets indicted, it's our generation's Watergate. It is too sweet to even let myself dream about.

If that happened, everyone associated with the Bush administration including Condi would be unelectable. There will be so many related stories about how the war was ruthlessly sold that Hillary or whoever is the Democratic nomination will waltz into the white house, even though she voted for the war.

Sorry Dems. I know a lot of republicans who will swallow their right-wing pride and nominate McCain, with the Hillary threat. He is a sure winner in 2008.

Re: US News & World Report: Cheney resignation rumors fly
 

this is one of the best things thta could happen to liberals- forcing the GOP to come back to the center would be wonderfull- the Dems would hate losing, but in the long run it would hurt a lot of the rhetoric the talking heads spout out cause they would be wary of going against a repub sitting president.
