White House Watch: Cheney Resignation Rumors Fly
By Paul Bedard
US News and World Report

Tuesday 18 October 2005

Sparked by today's Washington Post story that suggests Vice President Cheney's office is involved in the Plame-CIA spy link investigation, government officials and advisers passed around rumors that the vice president might step aside and that President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"It's certainly an interesting but I still think highly doubtful scenario," said a Bush insider. "And if that should happen," added the official, "there will undoubtedly be those who believe the whole thing was orchestrated - another brilliant Machiavellian move by the VP."

Said another Bush associate of the rumor, "Yes. This is not good." The rumor spread so fast that some Republicans by late morning were already drawing up reasons why Rice couldn't get the job or run for president in 2008.

"Isn't she pro-choice?" asked a key Senate Republican aide. Many White House insiders, however, said the Post story and reports that the investigation was coming to a close had officials instead more focused on who would be dragged into the affair and if top aides would be indicted and forced to resign.

"Folks on the inside and near inside are holding their breath and wondering what's next," said a Bush adviser. But, he added, they aren't focused on the future of the vice president. "Not that, at least not seriously," he said.

That would be fun. It is good to have things stired up a little now and then.

Actually, there was a book just released (or about to be released) on that very topic.......Condi v. Hillary. IIRC, Dick Morris wrote it.

Higher Logic · 10-19-2005, 09:30 AM

I know

I saw a news article about it, which is why I worded it exactly the same. Maybe I'll check the book out. Probably not though, I really don't need to know anymore about Condi...

Shouldn't you prepare to hate the next Republican president now?

Nope. I think the people have truly had enough

But hey, why not 8 more years of Republicans, let's see how deep we can get that hole baby!
