A way out for Cheney?
Over the last two years, Democrats have called for the firing of both Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Republicans know that the two are a huge burden for their party as we inch closer to the November midterms. But if Bush did let them go, most political strategists admit that it would look like Bush was bowing to the wishes of the Democratic Party -- basically affirming his recent political weaknesses.
But if there ever were an excuse for Cheney to resign without making it look like a Democratic victory, :
ice President Dick Cheney will undergo routine tests Saturday to checkon repaired aneurysms on the backs of his knees and the condition of ahigh-tech pacemaker that was placed in his chest in June 2001.
Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said the tests at George WashingtonUniversity Medical Center would include an electrocardiogram.
I am no Republican. But if I were a GOP strategist, I would have to admit that getting rid of Cheney and bringing in a fresh new vice president would generate excitement heading into November.
If this does indeed end up happening, then just know that I called it first!
