Steve Clemmons (Wahington Note): Skids greased under Cheney.

Old rumor, new source:

Rumors Flying on Harriet Miers and Vice President Cheney

This just in from a close friend who worked inside the pinnacle of Republican power in the Senate a few years ago, so while this is rumor -- it's Republican rumor, which makes it interesting:

Steve, just heard from trusted friend that McCain was approached about serving as VP if Cheney has "health problems" or otherwise steps down.

1. Here is the other part it mentions:

"Beyond that, speculation that Miers will step down to be replaced by a Bork-like sub (even better, Bork himself...). In other words, Cheney takes a bullet, a titanic battle over SCOTUS ensued to change the subject. You didn't hear this from me, but feel free to pass on such unsubstantiated rumors."

2. And the mad regime just continues.

3. Bush will ask Joe Lieberman to serve as VP for the good of the country

Holy Joe will accept this brilliantly Machiavellian proposal.

National coalition governments are quite common throughout the world.

4. If that happens

I will eat an entire pair of corduroy pants.
