Came out and looked like he was kicked in the nuts.

And fell on his face with that opening joke. Must be takin' comedy tips from John Kerry.

No way. Cheney is Bush's impeachment insurance

Wiki FTW

 

[nageov3t]

there's no real way to replace Cheney without pissing off the rest of the Republican party, because whoever replaced him would be the presumptive front-runner for '08 (as opposed to with Cheney, where he's already said he's never running for office again after his VP term expires)

bob gates to take over DOD

Cheney can't be fired by Bush or anyone else, he can resign but that's it.

I think this is Bush's way of insuring that his convictions can prevail. He knew that in the current political lineup that Rumsfeld's credibility was spent. Rumsfeld has offered to resign several times already. Bush knows the U.S. can't just pull out without all of this messing coming back on home turf. So now was the time for a new pointman. Why it didn't happen before the election I don't know.

hmmm.. Gates? not a bad choice... but I'm sure the left will have a problem with his closeness to the CIA..

I told you so!

he'd probably resign if Bush asked him to, though.

[cumhail]

Dear God, he just admitted to lying to journalists about Rumsfeld staying on just to "get you to the next question."

Bush Wants Rumsfeld, Cheney To Stay
President Gives Support To Two Most Criticized Members Of His Cabinet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2006

(CBS/AP) President Bush said Wednesday he wants Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney to remain in his administration until the end of his presidency, extending a job guarantee to two of the most criticized members of his team.

Bush's lips must have been moving. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

If we're lucky, Cheney's next. Then, it'll be time for the Numbnutz In Chief.

Reading comprehension FTL.
COULD =| WOULD

Here is why the GOP is dumb.

If Bush would have made Rummy resign a couple weeks ago, he could have saved some Senate seats for the GOP IMHO.

DING! DING! DING! WINNAR!

That was my thinking exactly--and I'm VERY confident that Rumsfeld offered his resignation 2 weeks ago but was told to wait until after the elections. Its not that Bush was only interested in saving his administration's image at the expense of GOP Congress. Its just that this time around Bush/Rove were so BLINDSIDED by the Dems big win--and now they stand to lose the Senate as well! They honestly didn't think this could happen, and THAT'S what scares me!

Failure to predict Dem victory = just another intelligence failure in the White House

 

[Ferocious]

Can he still be SUBPOENAED??

The truth must be had!

 

[her209]

HAHAHA... Bush is trying to explain what he meant when he said "Stay the course".
