How much longer will Cheney last ??
Fitz is applying a form of Chinese water torture through the Libby trial, and each day wakes the asleep at the wheel press take a little more notice to the guy and who is and what he represents in the current state of affairs. ( Frankly, I think they've known all along and either been too afraid or on orders not to pounce)

Soooo, my friends, how long do you think it'll take before the heart problem, explosive trial testimony or that old standby " to spend more time w/ the family ( Marys having a baby you know) to claim the "Dark One ? "

Your thoughts...

2. End of the term.
The system is not moving nearly fast enough to get him out
before then and he won't resign.

3. Until November, 2008
I hope. It would be a shame to lose him know, just as the MSM are starting to view him as a target. And do we really want to give the shrub a chance to name his successor?

13. My Thoughts
Edited on Mon Jan-29-07 11:08 PM by LibertyorDeath

Cheney's long histories of cardiovascular disease and periodic need for urgent health care have raised the question of whether he is medically fit to serve as Vice President. Formerly a heavy smoker, Cheney sustained the first of four heart attacks in 1978, at age 37. Subsequent attacks in 1984, 1988, and 2000 have resulted in moderate contractile dysfunction of his left ventricle. He underwent four-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting in 1988, coronary artery stenting in November 2000, and urgent coronary balloon angioplasty in March 2001.

In 2001, a Holter monitor disclosed brief episodes of (asymptomatic) ectopy. An electrophysiologic study was performed, at which Cheney was found to be inducible. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was therefore implanted in his left upper anterior chest.<46> As of 2004, it has never discharged.

On September 24, 2005, Cheney had an endo-vascular procedure to repair popliteal artery aneurysms bilaterally, a catheter treatment technique used in the artery behind each knee. The condition was discovered at a regular physical in July, and, while not life-threatening itself, is likely an indicator that Cheney's atherosclerotic disease is progressing despite aggressive treatment.<47>

On January 9, 2006, Cheney was taken to the hospital for tests after experiencing shortness of breath. He was given heart tests and tests for retention of water (he had been retaining water due to medication he had been taking for a foot complaint) before being discharged. He was placed on a diuretic to help get rid of the fluids.

15. Cheney will last as long as he is never exposed for criminal wrong doing - the day he
is charged with war crimes whatever?? that is the day he will have his heart issues cause him to resign, until then? we'll have to wait him out.

19. Prior to the midterms didn't Bu$h defend both Rumsfeld and Cheney?
They would remain in their positions through the end of his pResidency?

Hmmmm.

He'll have a "I'm coming Elizabeth" Fred Sanford moment in public, for maximum sympathy before resigning. }(

Although a maximum security moment would be better.

20. He's planning on being transferred into Mary's baby.
The Evil Dick will take over the baby like the demon he is and start all over. So I figure he'll drop right about the same time Mary's baby is born.

26. I give him until this spring
Everyday his star fades a little more, he's just a man, that's all. An aging sick man at that, sure he's evil, but, he's not ten foot tall and made of titanium. This trial will open doors, pathways that people haven't dared to go down...yet.
Sure, he's an evil fucking monster, but down through history name me one evil fucking monster that's still around, he's flesh and blood and will fade away like everyone else. Have hope people the darkness is fading and the light grows.
