"If we were to censure or impeach *, we have Cheney and that's like

jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire." R CSPAN caller on Washington Journal now.

Skidmore's reply: You VOTED for them. Tough crunchies!

1. Hah...

He'd make an even BETTER target for the next round... :evilgrin:

2. They do like bringing this up

Kind of a nonsensical argument, at any rate. The fact is if we successfully impeached President Bush (which seems unlikely, but there you go), Cheney would inherit a crippled presidency. As bad as he is (and he is quite bad) his power to do very much would be pretty curtailed.

8. I agree with you to a point. I think it would be tough to get * impeached,

but I don't think the pukes would let Cheney have the presidency.. He isn't looked upon kindly among his own party, and he has something like a 29% approval rating.. He'd be even easier than * to impeach, and I think even the pukes know that.. If push came to shove, and they honestly thought there was a real chance that * could be impeached, they would pressure Cheney to step down and they'd try to give the VP position to Rice, Jeb, or McCain.. That way when * was actually forced to leave office they'd have someone who would be an incumbent in the 2008 race.. Just my .02, for what that's worth..

3. I relish the thought of what the stress would do to his health....nt

4. No if an Impeachment went through

both Houses and * was removed, it would have the effect of making Dick a eunuch. He'd have no power for 2 years.

5. So what are they saying about Cheney?

I don't think it works out as being very complimentary to the man who shot his friend in the face.

[Skidmore]

7. Remember back to the 2000 campaign when Cheney selected himself,

and the Rs were so reassured that *'s "youth" was being tempered by "maturity"? There is a level at which this is hilarious. The "adult" in the room is insane and the kid is delusional. Ah, leadership.

9. I wonder if Harriet recommended herself, too. n/t

6. We have ample evidence to impeach them both.

Between wiretapping and Plame, we can get rid of both of them fairly easily.

10. Impeach Cheney first!

Simple enough!

[MadHound]

11. Well, since Cheney is the real power behind the throne

Impeaching Bush won't worsen matters at all, and actually might improve things.

[Not Me]

12. Impeaching * would put Cheney on notice

that he's next.
