Will Cheney step down?

[jerryme1]

See speculation by English newspaper linked on Drudge. It makes sense: Libby found guilty and possibility that Cheney may be in Fitzpatrick's cross hairs; recent blood clot, which is supposedly a dangerous condition; Iraq in flames.

1. Welcome to DU jerryme1, I really don't think he will

resign, they will have to take him kicking and screaming out of VP position.

2. The Dick of Death?

Nope. They'll have to carry him out. He ain't done killin' yet.

3. He will eventually, and for one reason only

so Bush can appoint the first black woman V.P. The administration knows history will not be kind to them, they need to so something to create a legacy that says something besides, "in a short 8 years they managed to undo 200 years of progress."

5. Surely Bush would risk assassination if Condi were VP.

English newspaper article suggests Condi VP as well

4. Sense Has Nothing To Do With It

Cheney and company are genuinely crazy - seriously psychotic. Best shrink I know says by he'd institutionalize Cheney in a heartbeat as a paranoid schizophrenic.

By definition, this means that what makes sense to us is often not what makes sense to them.

8. Not as long as formaldehyde courses through the ghoul's veins.

9. It's Fitzgerald. Get that man's name right.

:-D

10. No, he'll only try to increase his power.That's his mission in life. The Imperial Vice Presidency.

11. NOPE

Won't happen. These folks are delusional in their power. If things don't go their way they will blame it on anyone but themselves.

As much as I would love to see Cheney resign, I don't see it happening. He is so caught up in self-righteous certainty. The end justifies the means and Scooter's fall is just a minor inconvenience in his march to historical greatness in reversing the politics of the mid-east.

Hubris. It ain't over, yet.

12. Fall down from the legs. He's fortunate they are not stumps like he's caused for others.

13. Who would he hand his resignation letter to?

Himself?
