that the White House has already quietly sounded out John McCain on his willingness to be nominated for Vice President should Dick Cheney step down for "reasons of health" in the near future.
Me personally? I doubt nothing less than a flying squad of Army Rangers would be able to pry Dick from his Vice Presidential Fastness...but a near term resignation is certainly fun to think about.
Of course, if the above rumor is true, then McCain would be a fool to take the offer.
Why climb into La Famiglia Arbusto's burning lifeboat and compromise his mythic status among independent voters?
Moreover this is the same Admin that called him and psycho and worse in the SC Primary, to bail Bush out now makes McCain look craven and conniving.
Sure its a leg up on the nomination come 2008, but Barbara Bush, Jeb and GWB's Dad all know that too which is why they'll be working night and day to derail any prospect of John McCain becoming Cheney's mid-term replacement.
This is the famously autocratic and selfish Bush Family we are talking about, they only serve their own interests, John McCain's ambitions and the good of the nation can go to hell as far as they are concerned.
After all, Jeb hasn't had his turn yet as Overseer of Plantation USA.
Nope Humble Elias still sez the VP Card is:
Pennsylvania Senator Rick "High Pitched Rich" Santorum
Utah Senator Orrin "Oral" Hatch
Secretary of State Condoleeza "The Shoe Fetishist" Rice
and
Massachusetts Governor Willard Mitt Romney.
