Sparked by today's Washington Post story that suggests Vice President Cheney's office is involved in the Plame-CIA spy link investigation, government officials and advisers passed around rumors that the vice president might step aside and that President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"It's certainly an interesting but I still think highly doubtful scenario," said a Bush insider. "And if that should happen," added the official, "there will undoubtedly be those who believe the whole thing was orchestrated – another brilliant Machiavellian move by the VP."
My god. It's so ironic, it's perfect. Cheney resigns, Bush elevates Condi to the vice-presidency. A few months later, Bush resigns, citing "health issues" which everyone understands to mean a return to the bottle.
The first black woman in the white house is a republican whom nobody elected, an Alice in a Wonderland beyond Lewis Carrol's imagination. Then when she runs in 2008, any and all criticism is deflected as sexism and/or racism.
That's exactly what's going to happen.

Well, look at it this way. Not satisfied with nearly toppling the government and destroying the world, they add a little bit to make it worse...
TG: Which part? Or all of it? You're still mad because I made fun of you in pre-school, aren't you?
