Will B* annouce Cheney retirement during SOTU tonite ?

[jaysunb]

Looking at all that's going on , seems this would be a good time to shift the focus away from some of the more serious stuff...Iraq,Iraq, Iraq oh, did I mention Iraq ? :evilgrin:

[helderheid]

1. Good call - I'll be watching

[C_U_L8R]

2. That'll guarantee some applause

[jaysunb]

4. You're killin me !!!!

:rofl:

[aquart]

3. Well, if he wants real applause.........

And massive distraction....

But, no. He has to know that would make impeachment a done deal.

[Buzz Clik]

5. No, and hell no. And why would Cheney retire?

He's runs Washington DC and he is bulletproof.

[itsmesgd]

11. here's hoping and praying that Fitz goes after Rove and Dick

it's a long shot, but Libby might be flipping- bigtime!

[Buzz Clik]

19. It would be such a benefit for the country.

Let's hope.

[mod mom]

6. He'll probable fake a heart attack like his friend Kenny-boy, retire to some remote

island and the administration will lay all the blame on his sorry ass.

7. How long are the Die-Hard pacemaker batteries good for?

[leftofthedial]

8. right in the middle of the speech, US Marshalls will come in

and drag unka dick off in chains

[leveymg]

9. Biggest applause point of the evening. And, we all lived happily ever-after.

[Double T]

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

from office. The SOTU would THEN be getting immediately better.

[TechBear_Seattle]

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.

[blm]

13. Wouldn't that more likely belong to a Friday night newsdump?

heh

[napi21]

14. Sleep walking, er....typing and having GOOD DREAMS again huh?

You can only dream he'd do something like that!

[jaysunb]

23. heh heh !

Hey we're living in bizzaro world already, so what the hell ! :evilgrin:

[brooklynite]

15. Not a chance...

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.

[Benhurst]

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.

[JohnnyLib2]

17. Neither Bush nor Cheney are that kind of man or leader.

And we are where we are.

[WI_DEM]

18. No.

[lovuian]

20. Not gonna happen

But I would love it if it did :)

[spanone]

21. Talk about a STANDING OVATION.

[Homer Wells]

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.

:hurts:
