The way they're going full out to protect him I'd be inclined to give him queens status, if he falls we may well see checkmate.

15. No...Cheney is the King...
Bush is just a sock puppet... if Cheney goes down the game is over.

8. He's a rook.
A) rooks are stronger than bishops or knights

B) rooks are bit blocky...just like Rove. :)

C) non-Chess definition -- verb: to defraud by cheating or swindling

It's all too, too fitting for him to be anything else.

11. I agree. Rooks are dangerous
And they can hit you from far away when you least expect them.
