How to keep Cheney on the ticket

I've been sweating the possibility that the GOP will get smart and kick Cheney off their ticket. We're going to see more and more calls from Republicans (and the pundits) to do so as their panic level increases.
Officially, administration officials say there is no chance that Vice President Cheney will leave the campaign. But the "Dump Cheney" rumors continue to swirl in the press, fueled by a steady infusion of feeble poll results, poor reviews from the campaign trail, Cheney's own foul mouth, persistent Halliburton scandals and his continued and unsupported insistence on strong links between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.

And then there was this weekend's revelation that the doctor who has repeatedly assured us all that Cheney is fit to serve was allegedly illegally using narcotics. (Don't forget that the "Dump Cheney" conspiracy theorists predict that it all begins with an announcement that Cheney's heart problems have suddenly gotten much worse.)
Former GOoPer senator Alfonso D'Amato has called on Bush to replace Cheney on the ticket twice.

While the White House has made no indication that it plans on replacing Cheney, how can we guarantee that Cheney, indeed, stays on the ticket? Commenter JoelK in AZ has the perfect solution:
I was thinking Kerry should call on Cheney to leave the GOP ticket.

This might ensure that Cheney stays ON the ticket.

I mean, how can they possibly remove him after Kerry publicly says he should go?
Nice. The reason Rumsfeld hasn't gotten fired is because it would look like a cave-in to Democrats calling for his resignation.

1. damn good idea

we should send Mary Beth Cahill a little note suggesting just that.

2. Don't worry, Bush and Dick are inseparable.

They can never be parted. The Republican party will rend itself asunder, and they will break into a dozen quivering factions, all of them impotent.

But Kerry should still do it. It's funny.

5. Yup! Hey, check this out, too:

From WP's White House Briefing:

I must say I'm reminded more and more of one of the great unsolved White House Briefing mysteries. Back on Jan. 20, I linked to this transcript of a Cheney interview with USA Today. Here's an excerpt:

"Judy Keen: You must be well aware of the caricature of you that has evolved over the last three years, the whole undisclosed location thing, the sinister force behind the President's policies. What do you make of that? And do you feel compelled to deal with it, especially in the context of this campaign that's just beginning? . . .

"Cheney: Why do I want to deal with it? What's wrong with my image? . . . Am I brown cloud? Am I the evil genius in the corner that nobody ever sees come out of his hole? It's a nice way to operate, actually."

We never figured out what Cheney meant by "brown cloud." But now I wonder: Is that what he disappears into?

4. This one had me in tears -

"I'm thinking in the debates, wait for GW to say something incoherent (shouldn't take too long), and then just turn to the cameras and say "remember kids, drugs can have terrible long-term affects on your brain. Don't do drugs" It's not actually accusing him of doing drugs, but it would put the Repubs in the position of attacking him for a brief public service message."

Maybe I'm just giddy today but can you imagine a "straight man" Kerry saying that? lol
