12. Actually
someone posted yesterday that Lynne Cheney had let it drop at a "tea" that for health reasons they were going to spend more time with their kids.

Now, they're killing several birds here with one stone. First, they're neutralizing ONE of the Dem candidates' arguments against them -- the lies re Iraq war. (Someone else posted a few days ago that they'd heard someone on one of the talk shows say that the goal was to withdraw from Iraq by mid-2004 -- just in time for the real election swing to get going.)

Cheney probably doesn't care if he gets canned -- he's got all that money to wrap himself up in and more coming anytime he wants it. Plus, if they make a show of pinning things on him, then they neutralize the blood lust on the part of critics to make SOMEone pay.
