Al D'Amato has some advice for Dubya: Dump Cheney!
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/breaking_news/story/209877p-180870c.html

President Bush should consider dumping Vice President Dick Cheney from the Republican ticket this year, an influential former GOP senator said Wednesday.

Alfonse D’Amato said Bush should consider putting Secretary of State Colin Powell or Sen. John McCain of Arizona on the GOP ticket.

“As an observer of politics, I believe the president can guarantee his essential re-election by looking to several other notable individuals who would add a great dimension to his ticket as a running mate,” the New York Republican added.

Placing Powell “first and foremost” on his wish list to replace Cheney, D’Amato said the retired general “would help galvanize the nation and offer a truly historic opportunity for American unity and pride.”

McCain, said D’Amato, is “a genuine American hero who would also help bridge the political divide in our nation and assure the president’s re-election by a wide margin.” “While I believe George Bush will win re-election even without this bold stroke, he will insure a broader, deeper, more resonant reaffirmation of his leadership if he places his duty to continue as president above any one individual,” D’Amato said.

4. Bush should dump Cheney? Bwahahahahahah
I think that Bush, whatever he says or does, is being actually laughed at by those around him'

He is too stupid a -poster boy to have any influence at all. It is not that this stupid man, Bush, should dump Cheney, but it seems to me that somehow, Cheney will dump Bush--oh wait--Cheney already has dumped Bush the stupid who could not make it in any business endeavor he pursued without the help of his daddy. Cheney is the real president.
