October 15 has already been set aside to be a national day of recognition commemorating Dick Cheney, once he passes of course. The date was specifically chosen to coincide with the birth of the great Allen W. Livingston, creator of Bozo the Clown.

Well, since we're planning ahead, who's next in line of succession should Bush be impeached?

With Bush and Cheney gone, it would be Pelosi. I would also be moving to New Zealand.

If Cheney goes out, Bush will appoint a new VP.
the only way Pelosi would move up is if Bush & Cheney go down at the same time.
Impeachment proceedings will not allow that to happen.
Each would have their own set.

Should proceedings start against Bush (which I doubt, given the fear of the Dems that Cheney would take the reins), then Cheney would take the position if Bush was to be actually impeached.

Therefore the only scenario would be the Cheney dies at the same time Bush is convicted in an impeachment trial.

The hope that G. Bush will get the heave hoo and he becomes President...

The Democrats are what is keeping him going.

If he goes, Bush gets to select a VP.

As it stands, there is no Republican heir apparent that the Dems have to worry about.

If Cheny leaves, the the heir has 2 years to be groomed, making it more difficult for the Dems to potentially regain the WH.
I heard Fred Thompson's name floating around if Dick C. gets the heave hoo.

i'd say it's probably millions of oil dollars?

yea... that's it.


also... i don't understand the fear of cheney being president. it's not like it isn't already obvious that him and other advisors are essentially running the white house.

why are you wishing death on someone? no Hippocratic Oath in chiropractic?

I think the hippocratic oath applies to human beings, not soul sucking demons.

Comparing Dick Cheney to soul sucking demons is an outrage, particularly to all soul sucking demons out there, and I don't think you want to piss off soul sucking demons. ;)
