2. What WaPo story today?

I guess I missed it :shrug:? I would appreciate a link if anyone has one :).

[htuttle]

4. I was just going to ask the same thing

Didn't see anything in LBN about it.

:shrug:

[nam78_two]

15. Ah...its from last year

Heh -I usually skim WaPo at work everyday.
I would be surprised to miss something like that :).

[htuttle]

13. Whoops. Look at the date -- it's from last year

[Generic Other]

26. Oh damn! Sorry. Stupid post from a nitwit (ME)

I should have checked the date closer.

No wonder I coundn't find anything at the Wa Po.

[geek tragedy]

3. Uh, that article is from Oct, 18 2005, as in last year. eom

[chat_noir]

5. "brilliant Machiavellian move by the VP."???

How do they figure that?

[karynnj]

6. The Democrats can invoke cloture till January

Then if they take over the Senate they can reject her. Her lying before the Senate would suffice, not to mention ignoring the threat of OBL.

[grytpype]

7. Why did you post this?

[bonito]

18. The 05 went right by me to oops.

[Generic Other]

28. I missed the date...sorry, as usual I hear about everything last

[Vanje]

[BeFree]

10. It's what I called Bush's "November Surprise".

It's what I wrote here at the DU recently and what has become part of rightwing blogs, too:

------------------------

James Baker, Henry Kissinger, John Warner and Old Man Bush are going to commandeer the White House away from the neo-cons, fire Rumsfeld and possibly, just possibly push Dick Cheney into retirement.

Call me crazy, but I think it's already a done deal.

"Stay the course is only one-quarter correct" means that the three-quarters is about to be announced.

No October Surprise from the Republicans because the November Surprise will be essentially a confession of failure by the White House with as much face saving as possible.

I think that even Karl Rove may be leaving.

11. Getting out while he can.

LOL Run dick run, oh see dick run.

12. It would be a great tragedy

if this feckless toady became the first woman, and the first African-American to become Vice President of the United States.

[saltpoint]

14. If Cheney does resign, he could have himself a Hollywood career.

I'd cast him as The Kingpin in one of the SpiderMan or Daredevil films.

Condiliar as Vice President? I don't think the Far Right would think much of that idea.

[Xipe Totec]

17. I'd cast him as Yorick in Hamlet n/t

[saltpoint]

19. Yep. Ol' Dick has a film career just waiting for him. All he has to do

is scribble out a quick resignation memo and hop the first flight out of Dulles to LAX.

He'll need to pick up a pair of sun glasses, of course. Maybe do a Q&A with Paul Zahn in-flight.

[Xipe Totec]

25. Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio:

a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy:
he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now,
how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols?
your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont
to set the table on a roar? Not one now,
to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?

[Captain Hilts]

22. Montgomery Burns in a "Simpsons" movie. nt

[Xipe Totec]

27. Excellent!

[tyedyeto]

16. Confirmation of any VP due to the resignation of the current VP

is a Senatorial responsibility.

Could this be done before January when newly elected Senators are sworn in? I doubt that will happen.

Edit:

Just noticed this is an 'old' story.

[Monkeyman]

20. Crap Hastert as VP oh shit

[tyedyeto]

23. Hastert would not be the VP if this were to happen.

The President would nominate someone who then has to go through the nomination process in the Senate.

Speaker of the House only takes over when BOTH the Pres and VP are no longer able to fulfill their duties.

[Bitwit1234]

21. Bush doesn't pick a VP

Bush does not pick a vice president, the republican house and senate does that. And besides even if cheney does resign they don't have to have a vice president at all. Remember when Nixon resigned and Ford as vice president was appointed as acting president. A person is only acting no matter what they call him, unless he is elected he is never a real president. But to get back to the statement, we had no vice president to fill Ford's place when he took Nixon's place the vice president position was left vacant.

[Gabi Hayes]

29. where do you get that stuff?

Nixon appointed Ford

Ford appointed Rockefeller

that's the way it works

look it up

[tyedyeto]

31. True but...

those appointments had to be approved by Congress.

[fishwax]

24. the cheney resignation rumors are almost as old as ... well, this article

By Paul Bedard

Posted 10/18/05

Actually, I've been hearing that Cheney's resignation was imminent since before the last presidential elections.

[TheCowsCameHome]

30. Couldn't you find a more timely headline? Like Pearl Harbor or something?

32. WE LANDED ON THE MOON!
