Chris Matthews: "I don't see how Cheney can walk away from this..."

[SlowDownFast]

He just said he thinks that it's a real possibility that Cheney will resign!!!

[Connie_Corleone]

1. Please, let it be!

[WI_DEM]

2. I doubt it, but congress can open an investigation which could lead to his resigning

[emulatorloo]

Said he doubted Cheney would resign, but is in the political hotseat. EOM

[murray hill farm]

9. I think we were given today..in the report of Cheney's new..

"health problem", the beginning of the preamble leading toward his resignation.

[SlowDownFast]

13. There's blood in the water...

and the sharks are circling.

I'm telling you, the media and the congress are not going to let this go.

Matthews just said that effectively Scooter's going to jail because he lied for Cheney and everyone now knows it.

[tridim]

16. If Tweety and others do their job Cheney will certainly be in the hotseat.

DO YOUR JOB DAMMIT!

[SusanaMontana41]

28. Hear hear!

It can't just be Keith all the time.

:loveya: Keith!

[Larkspur]

3. Cheney is not ashamed of what he did, so he won't resign

Cheney will stay VP for as long as he wants to.

[eleny]

4. Let him keep beating that drum

Penance for his voting for W back in 2000.

[jean]

5. he could be prosecuted whether he resigns or doesn't. He'll stay in power

it's a position he really likes, pulling strings.

[zalinda]

6. I just read some where that Cheney has

a blood clot in his leg. Isn't this timing a little too perfect?

zalinda

[jobycom]

14. That news broke yesterday. As for being convenient timing...

He's had heart and blood problems for decades. If he had the same health care system the rest of us have, he'd have been dead ages ago. A couple of years ago he had surgery to remove clotting in his news, IIRC. So I doubt the two events are coordinated. Cheney could come up with legitimate health issues as a result to resign any time he wanted.

[Double T]

7. cheney has no conscience or remorse for what he has done.............

everyone and everything is expendable, including your 'friends'.

[IWantAChange]

8. Christmas so early???

[DUyellow]

10. not a chance

[BuyingThyme]

11. You mean, because of the leg. Right?

[bobbie]

12. Yet Fitzgerald says he's done per Daily Kos...

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/3/6/133940/6035

"On what should be a day of some satisfaction over the Libby verdict, instead I feel greatly let down by Patrick Fitzgerald.

As reported in an article shown at http://www.huffingtonpost.com

Patrick Fitzgerald has been quoted as stating matter of factly: "I do not expect to file any further charges."

Libby=Scapegoat?
Libby=Pardoned scapegoat?

[emulatorloo]

18. Fitz qualified the statement -- no new charges unless they receive new information

remember that Fitz is a lawyer and he is going to talk like a lawyer.

Also said Libby and his lawyers are free to contact his office.

[bobbie]

20. I see. Thank you emulatorloo

Still won't hold my breath.

[emulatorloo]

21. Yeah I doubt Libby will flip. But if he did

then Fitz would listen to what he had to say.

If I were Mrs. Libby, now the Scooter is a convicted felon, I would be leaning real hard on Scooter to save himself. I would not want my husband going to jail to protect the VP.

[peacetalksforall]

26. It all depends on how comfortable the Libby's are with his scapegoat role (and

their future mortality).

[bobbie]

35. Which makes it likely that Bushco will "pardon" Libby to get him/THEM...

Off the hook.

The BFEE's not gonna go quietly. Not after all the crimes they committed to get where they are & stay where they are.


On edit: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x354120

Here we go.

[peacetalksforall]

25. It's the Dems in Congress who must make the next move. They

must demand and state the next step. I don't think we should hit on Fitzgerald.

[roamer65]

15. The Rethug party is gonna apply pressure on Cheney to resign.

They'll want their prospective presidential nominee in the office for 2008. I look for Condi to be VP very soon. Why else do you think they made Negroponte Deputy Sec of State? To take Condi's place...

[damntexdem]

17. Oh, he won't just walk away --

Darth Cheney will fly away in his death star.

[knight_of_the_star]

19. He'll resign for reasons of health

That's why the story came out about the blood clot, things will get worse as the heat is turned up.

[Forkboy]

22. If Tweety said it'll happen forget about it.

[maine_raptor]

23. Cheney will NOT resign.

To do so would open him up to any Congressional investigation, should there be one. As long as he remains VP, he's protected from testifying before Congress via Executive Privilege.

[opihimoimoi]

24. Gary Bauer is gonna be the new VP??

No way Condiliar will be....she too stupid...

Maybe Karen or Katherine Harris

[peacetalksforall]

27. Or Michelle Bachman.

[Redbear]

29. He was pissed at the admin -"They still haven't answered the questions"

and on Cheney resigning he said, "knowing him I am sure he won't"

[Uncle Joe]

30. I believe it's possible, they will use the blood clot in the leg excuse. n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

31. Health reasons? Conveniently discovered blood clot?

I don't know, though. I think Darth Cheney is so stubborn he'd never resign.

[Generator]

32. Apparently Matthews has no clue what he's up against

What we are all up against. If Cheney resigns I will eat my hat. If I had a hat. Apparently these "journalists" think these guys are not dictators. But I think differently.

[Neecy]

33. Spiro Agnew resigned for far less...

[dogday]

34. With that blood clot in his leg, he will have to limp away

instead... Either way he does it does not matter. as long as he leaves....
