I'm Thinking That Cheney's Out By Friday

[MannyGoldstein]

If Plame & Fitzgerald testify this week before Waxman's commitee, things are going to get extraordinarily ugly. I suspect that Junior's going to cut Crashcart loose.

VP Condi, here we come.

[babylonsister]

1. Bookmarked, so I can remind you!

:P

[MannyGoldstein]

3. And If I'm Right...? n/t

[babylonsister]

7. Then I'll remind you!

:rofl:











OK, and applaud you.
:applause:

[graywarrior]

2. What a loooonnnnnggg strange trip it's been.

:rofl:

[Monkeyman]

4. Its not over yet

[graywarrior]

9. No, it ain't and I bet their side is looking at the next 2 years and shitting their pants.

[MannyGoldstein]

10. Which is Why Impeachment Will Start With The Rethugs

The 'Dems' will need to be dragged kicking and screaming.

[graywarrior]

12. Yep. It's sad, but true.

[havocmom]

5. Condi?

DEMS on Hill better not OK THAT.

[MannyGoldstein]

8. The Congressional 'Dems' Will Love Her!

Since triangulation is the goal of all they do, and since Condi is crazy-right enough to give them cover to move pretty far right, they'd love her. Someone more moderate would give them heartburn - but is anybody on that side of the aisle moderate these days?

[BayCityProgressive]

16. Well in 2000

they said Bush was moderate..:shrug: who knew..

[Cobalt-60]

6. Tease

I think Cheney has already drawn his contingency plans for the day Junior attempts to exert his authority.

[Monkeyman]

11. Oh No he will take Bush duck hunting

[rocktivity]

13. Maybe this is why Fitz has been so blase about going after Rove and Cheney

He may not have enough to subpoena them with, but telling Congress (and the rest of the world) what he'd learned--well, that could do ten times the damage!

rocknation
:wow:

[KurtNYC]

14. You can't fire your boss

or are you presuming cheney will tell bush to fire cheney?

[MannyGoldstein]

18. Actually, I Just Did!!!

Two weeks ago. True story.

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

But unusual, I grant you.

[kestrel91316]

15. My guess? NOT A CHANCE. These people do NOT back down.

THEY are right and everyone else is WRONG. THEY have a mandate, by God, and they are gonna do what they damned well please as long as they are in office.

[MannyGoldstein]

17. Rummy Might Disagree

They're crumbling.

[grasswire]

19. Can Congress force Fitz to reveal grand jury testimony?

What is the precedent for that?

[AshevilleGuy]

20. Seems like Agnew was out in less than one week,

from the time his problems with the IRS were first aired. But that was different: Nixon didn't give a shit about him, and he wasn't running the country either.

It's possible that Uncle Dickie could be out by Friday but I would be extremely surprised were it to happen. If his health holds, he will stay the term, I fear.

[sandrakae]

21. Junior can't cut crashcart loose. A Vice President cannot be fired.

The best we can hope for is that Junior tells him He is a fucking loser and he is bad for his Presidency and tells him to fucking resign and crashcart starts to cry and then resigns.

[ruggerson]

22. How many business days is that?

n/t

[Elidor]

23. I think you underestimate Cheney

Prison is the only thing that would scare him into giving up power. And even then, don't be too sure.

[KingofNewOrleans]

24. I'm thinking I've got some prime swamp, er, real estate to sell you

Just a few miles south of New Orleans.

[zulchzulu]

25. Cheney will finish out the term....unfortunately

That's my prediction.

(In Cheney's voice)
If you think the GOP is going to allow a black woman to be within a heartbeat of the Oval Office, you have another thing coming...

[ripple]

26. Gonzales, perhaps

Cheney isn't going anywhere.

[saltpoint]

30. I could see Bush doing that, but Abu Graib Gonzales may be facing

some unpleasantries in the Congress real soon.

The DoJ has come under suspicion of late, and I'm hoping investigations will bring Mr. Gonzales' wicked ways to public light.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

27. Only if he suffers the "big one," he is too arrogant too know when to quit.

[saltpoint]

28. It's Cheney's stubbornness vs. my wish that he were not in public service.

That said, I hope these hearings grab several headlines and set the course for a huge blue electoral map in November 2008.

If Cheney is the victim of his own skullduggery, so much the better.

[Vinca]

29. I can't imagine him replacing Cheney. It would mean he would

be acknowledging a mistake and he who walks on water does not make mistakes. Gonzo might have enough sensibility to resign in an effort to save face, but Dick's not going anywhere.

[durtee librul]

31. I don't agree that lil Al is gonna

go anywhere either. All these cabal members will NOT leave willingly and I would bet they ain't gonna leave on their own accord next November either.

Yep, I have lots of tinfoil and so far I am glad I have such a large stock of tin foil already in place as I have had to use a lot lately to cope with the recent events.

Again, Al nor Cheney are going anywhere unless God has different ideas for them...and if any bonehead out there thinks Jr is going to grow a set and ask (or fire) anyone to step aside from their posts, think again. He may be a powermaniac, but it's all the man behind the curtain. He's just the puppet. Look what happens when they let him ad lib - it's damage control for the next couple days.

[BlueIris]

32. Yep. nt

[enough already]

33. You're kidding, right?

For this to happen, it assumes these pricks can be shamed. It's abundantly clear after 6-plus years of this bullshit that they can't be shamed. We are going to have to throw them out. That's why so many of us are pissed that our leaders won't impeach the Chimp.

[Frank Cannon]

34. Oh, come on. No way. Cheney's here to stay.

Bush firing Cheney is like Charlie McCarthy firing Edgar Bergen.

[A wise Man]

35. Cheney isn't going anywhere

he's the one that runs things. El Stupido is just a front.
