If dick hogwash croaks or resigns, who takes his filthy place?

[Philosoraptor]

And who picks him? dick hogwash picked himself remember, who will pick his successor, and will that successor be better or worse than dick hogwash? (hard to imagine anyone worse)

He is the head war pig profiteer after all, who will keep this evil rolling on far into the future?

Rove? Kissinger? Offhand I can't think of anyone more monstrously disgusting or dangerous than dick fucking hogwash.

1. Isn't Nancy next in line?

One can at least hope.... :shrug:

[Philosoraptor]

3. nixon picked ford.

Why couldn't apeface pick hogwash's successor?

[TornadoTN]

8. No, it would be a Presidential appointment

That only happens if both the President and Vice President are taken out of office for any number of reasons.

My guess would be one of the G.O.P. players for the Presidency in 2008. McCain, Guiliani, Brownback, or Romney.

[Philosoraptor]

10. brownback is a party traitor now apparently.

[TornadoTN]

16. They really are eating their own now

That party is in such disarray right now. They have no idea which way is up. It's almost comical if it wasn't for the fact that its costing American lives and the lives of so many innocents.

[ThatsMyBarack]

15. Nutz.

:evilfrown:

[Ravy]

46. I believe he would pick Jeb.

[soothsayer]

20. She's next if God strikes both of 'em dead first (praise the lord!)

[Philosoraptor]

21. I doubt President Pelosi would pardon the impeached P & VP.

[Done]

2. His first name is Joe and he comes from Conn.

Perfect man to pardon *

[Philosoraptor]

4. But of course.

[Art_from_Ark]

5. How about Charles Manson?

I heard he's still available

[Philosoraptor]

9. Manson is way too likable compared to hogwash.

[Norquist Nemesis]

6. Good question!

But I'd bet that whoever it is on Karl's list, that HE (yes, "he" because that's all that's going for it so far) already has one of those 'exploratory committees' in full swing.

[Ganja Ninja]

7. Whoever Bush nominates and the senate approves. n/t

[Geoff R. Casavant]

22. Both houses of Congress must approve

Amendment XXV.

[texasclarkie]

11. I'd vote Condi

They've already moved Negroponte into the second slot at State.

[Philosoraptor]

13. It could happen

[gratuitous]

12. Ostensibly

Bush would name a new vice president, who would be interviewed Supreme Court nominee style by a Senate committee, then approved by the full Senate. At this point, unless Bush named Beelzebub, I would guess that the Senate would do a very cursory interview and pretty much rubber-stamp the choice. They might try to extract a meaningless pledge from the nominee that if Bush resigns under a legal cloud that the nominee wouldn't then issue a presidential pardon, but I don't think the Senate would withhold consent from Bush's choice to replace Cheney.

23. Both houses of Congress must approve

Amendment XXV

[gratuitous]

26. Thanks for the information

If both houses of Congress get in on the act, it's possible that George will have a little more difficulty naming a replacement for Deadeye Dick. In that case, I suppose that the administration will keep Cheney's festering corpse in office for at least another six or eight months if they can, and then Bush can say that with so little time left in his administration, they're just not going to name a successor. That carries a whole lot of risks with it as well, but a criminal enterprise like the Bush administration will not brook much outside scrutiny or interference.

[Strawman]

14. Leave it vacant

I wouldn't approve anyone Bush picked unless we could literally force a pick upon him, which we can't.

[Cabcere]

37. What, no

hand controlling the sock puppet? ;)

[Clevenger]

17. Jeb Bush, of course. n/t

[Philosoraptor]

18. Sure, why not?

[JerseygirlCT]

19. Wanna bet Cheney would pick his own successor? nt

[Philosoraptor]

24. ------------

[Binka]

25. Howz About A Pig In A Bath Tub?

[Cabcere]

38. Nice!

[GeorgeGist]

27. Straight talk express...

[Critters2]

28. Presidential appointment. That's how Ford was chosen. nt

[mnhtnbb]

29. My money's on Condi. And then Bush brings Kissinger back to take Condi's place!

[Philosoraptor]

30. w pix condi, condi pardons dick & dubya, condi pix mc cain the pain.

[SoCalDem]

31. Condi (republicans like to be "first".)

The *² will gleefully proclaim that the republicans provided the FIRST female vice president AND the first MINORITY vice president, AND then the FIRST black female presidential candidate.. ( ANOTHER TRIFECTA)

[Philosoraptor]

32. This has been a republik wet dream for years.

[spanone]

33. Hell this is probably articulated somewhere in the small print of the Patriot Act

and I bet it fucks over everyone.

[Swamp Rat]

34. It's not 'who' ... it's 'what' ... probably the 'Baker Lizard'

[Philosoraptor]

Re-Edit: available in Quicktime still

[LeftishBrit]

43. Tony Blair would love the job - probably not eligible though!

[Crabby Appleton]

44. They have 4 cheney "doubles" as stand-ins just in case

[Vinca]

45. He'll choose the successor to the crown - probably McCain,

although there's an outside chance Lieberman will be anointed. Depends on who Shrub likes kissing the most, I guess.
