3. Well, if he wants real applause......... |
|
And massive distraction....
But, no. He has to know that would make impeachment a done deal.

5. No, and hell no. And why would Cheney retire? |
|
He's runs Washington DC and he is bulletproof.

10. The SOTU would be a great opportunity for bush and cheney to resign...... |
|

12. That would be very bad for Cheney, and dangerous for the Junta |
|
If Cheney resigns, he is no longer protected from prosecution. Once he is no longer protected, they can force him to testify at the Libby trial under oath, be held in contempt if he refuses and be subject to perjury if he does not tell the truth. And not just the Libby trial, but on any other charge that might be brought against him.
Personally, I expect him to run as VP again in 2008, as that is the one and only way he can stay out of jail.

not because it wouldn't be a good move, or the WH gang wouldn't consider it, but because making a "surprise" announcement would cause a firestorm of controversy without generating any brownie points for changing horses. If this were to happen, it would be done at a White House ceremony, following various leaks about Cheney's health situation, etc., and framing the recommended replacement as a responsible choice.

16. No, I don't think anything like that is planned. |
|
But there is a chance Electric Dick will get so angry, he'll short-circuit, showering the floor of the House with sparks before finally vanishing in a puff of smoke.

22. Although my reaction to *'s voice |

is akin to hearing the sound of fingernails on a blackboard, I will be sitting, (barf bag in hand)in front of the tube tonight watching his Ass Holiness the Emperor do his thing.
