[spotbird]

Source: Editor & Publisher

NEW YORK The New York City daily The Sun, clearly not afraid to go where others fear to tread, declared on Wednesday in an editorial that one big man is missing on the 2008 campaign trail. "For all the talk about potential candidates who haven't entered the 2008 presidential race — from Mayor Bloomberg to Vice President Gore to Senator Thompson and Speaker Gingrich — the one that who would bring the most to the race is Vice President Cheney," the editorial began.

Nothing would surprise me. This seems more likely than Bush personally running again, by a long shot.

1. He would be our first Sith president.....

Apologies to non-Star Wars fans.

[Catch22Dem]

7. Never apologize to a non Star Wars fan

It shows weakness and weakness is a path to the Dark Side.

[here_is_to_hope]

19. now thats funny!!!... but it doesnt make

up for His Evilness becoming a mention lately....:scared: :scared: :scared:

[leQ]

2. this would clearly let the existing powers continue their attack on all things American.

[MidwestTransplant]

3. "Bring It On"

[DavidDvorkin]

4. Oh, yeah!

That would be even better than Gingrich!

Both of them would be better still. Cheney-Gingrich, for a century of Democratic hegemony!

[bluestateguy]

5. He'd lose worse than Alf Landon in 1936

Go for it.

[LiberalFighter]

6. Apparently the NY Sun editors are living in a mushroom cellar

[Cha]

25. AP-PARE-NT-LY!!

:P

[rec_report]

33. ROFL!!! n/t

[Gman]

8. Run Dick Run

Great idea! Fantastic idea. Cheney would make a fantastic candidate for us to run against. Who better to represent the GOP than Emperor Palpatine his self.

Jedi Obama (standing over Darth Cheney with his light saber): You read the Bible?

Darth Cheney: Not regularly.

Jedi Obama: There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men....

9. Great idea! The fucker has a 5% approval ratings with non-sociopaths

[rosesaylavee]

11. Whoa. There are non-sociopaths that support him? n/t

[Amonester]

23. BRRR! I shiver at the thought of defining "what" these 5% really R

then!




Anyway, Darth Cheneyou$ elf would only get a shot (pun intended...) at the pRetzydance through a unilateral implementation of martial law... (although I'm not putting it past them...) :puke:

[Bicoastal]

10. Hey, New York Sun! I need a forecast!

What's the weather like up Cheney's ass?

[calimary]

31. ROFL!!!

Great one!

[Timefortruth]

12. Draft Cheney?

Huh.

Stranger things have happened. At this point in '91 Clinton seemed just as impossible.

[Grandrose]

13. Oh No!

:puke: :spank: :thumbsdown:

[JoFerret]

14. Just do it Dick

Any Dem in a landslide.

[The Count]

15. And that's why NY Sun languishes on the stands - that and the fact that it

bills itself "The NY Post for Intellectuals"

[Yavin4]

30. I Live in NYC. There's A NY Sun Newspaper?

learn something new every day.

[anotherdrew]

16. great idea! let's mount a multi-million dollar write-in campaign!

it would only be fair

[donco6]

17. I think he should run, too.

Maybe the pressure will be too much.

[0rganism]

18. I'm all for it -- hell, no need for that annoying primary, run Cheney by all means

I've never seen a 50-state sweep in the nat'l election, as far as I can remember. Giving one to the Dems on a silver platter, well, that's almost too nice.

I say go for it -- Run, Dick, Run!

[mzmolly]

20. So do I!

:evilgrin:

[halobeam]

21. I just find this extremely funny....

:rofl:

[frogcycle]

22. why not dig up stalin and let his corpse run? n/t

[Cha]

24. Yeah, dick, why don't

put your fucking feet in the race?

[yellowcanine]

26. Please God make this happen. I won't ask for anything else for at least 10 years.

I would give my left nut for the chance to vote against that prick.

[Decruiter]

27. Pix speak a thousand words

[napi21]

28. Even the talking heads on cable news said that's the Dem's DREAM

candidate! YEAH!!! I'dLOVE to see Unka Dick nominate himself AGAIN! Talk about comparing negatives!!!!!

[Yavin4]

29. Can Diebold Make Up A 55 Point Difference?

Every software application needs to be stress tested.

[spotbird]

35. That's the $64,000 question.

That, and what else they might do to drum up support.

[rec_report]

32. Well, with electronic 'voting,' he could win! I'm sure Bush lost by millions of votes....

in 2004, but he was installed as p_Resident, nevertheless.

34. Cheney/Jeb Bush ticket?

No comment :(

36. The Sun is a right-wing publication.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Sun

Stoll has characterized the Sun's political orientation as "right-of-center,"<4> and an associate of Conrad Black predicted in 2002 that the paper would be "certainly neoconservative in its views."<5> Editor-in-chief Lipsky describes the agenda of the paper's prominent op-ed page as "limited government, individual liberty, constitutional fundamentals, equality under the law, economic growth ... standards in literature and culture, education."<6> The Sun's roster of columnists includes many prominent conservative thinkers, including William F. Buckley, Jr., Michael Barone, Daniel Pipes, and Mark Steyn.

The Sun is "known for its pugnacious coverage of Jewish-related issues";<7> in particular, it is "a strong proponent of Israel's right to defend itself."<8> It has published articles by pro-Israel reporter Aaron Klein.

The paper courted controversy in 2003 with an unsigned February 6 editorial arguing that protestors against the Iraq war should be prosecuted for treason.<9><10>

the second person to run for President from inside a jail cell.
