<p>Don’t get all snarky on me zoos. I just think ol’ George needs to look in the mirror. He needs to meet the man who cost the REpub’s the glorious victory they so richly deserved. Stop blaming his peeps. Cowboy-up we call it. ;)</p>
<p>“Britney went skating”</p>
<p>Well Mini, it’s about time SOMEONE on CC got their priorities straight. Who cares about elections and wars? Britney has CHILDREN to worry about. What WILL she do? Who will be the new man? Do they have a pre-nup? Oy, the stress of it all.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, you’re the one being snarky here. You’re stuck with Bush and Cheney for two more years, just like I’m stuck with speaker Pelosi for however long.</p>
<p>Thanks! ;)</p>
<p>Stay the course.</p>
<p>“Cowboy-up we call it.”</p>

<p>All I can say, is serious news must be in serious trouble!</p>
<p>And since this is a college discussion board, I predict it won’t be long before Rumsfeld holds a highly paid visiting professorship in government at a prestigious university. As if he didn’t do enough damage at the DofD, now we have to worry about him influencing young minds.</p>
<p>zoosermom, I guess “Snarky” is in the eyes of the beholder, too. LOL.</p>
<p>Come’on. Lighten up. Look on the bright side. Your gang lost. Their criminal enterprise will soon be thwarted. And the next two years will be a constant source of Hellfire on the party sleaze and taxes on the mega-wealthy. Wait… now that I think about, that’s MY bright side. LOL. I guess it IS as bad as you are making it out to be. Grieve (or snark ) away.</p>
<p>It would be too good to be true if Cheney would step down, but then who is going to think for GW. Democrats are in, Rumsfeld is gone, things are looking up. Next Bush.</p>
<p>
Well, the good people of NJ just re-elected a senator who will be the next politico to be indicted (although it may be a tight race with William “Frozen Cash” Jefferson). Based on the election results, it would appear that the main difference between Dems and Republicans is that the Republicans deal with dirty laundry better come election time.</p>
<p>The course is just about done.</p>
<p>Cheney will never resign. If need be the Republicans will prop his corpse up in his saddle like El Cid. Because if he did resign, all the time the office was vacant, while confirmation hearings went on for a successor, the next in line for the presidency would be The Princess of Darkness herself - Speaker Nancy Pelosi.</p>
<p>Okay, ZM, I think you can say “Speaker Pelosi.”
Now try “President Hillary.” Prez-ah-dent Hill-ah-ree.</p>
<p>(Don’t know if it’s going to be true but even suggesting it has its entertainment value if you have a Republican around to watch.)</p>
<p>“I guess it IS as bad as you are making it out to be. Grieve (or snark ) away.”"</p>
<p>Curm, please don’t emote for me. I’m not grieving, I’m not upset and I’m not snarky. You’re seeing something that’s not there.</p>
<p>

<p>That’s what we were saying in california when Gray Davis was gov…then came Arnold and tho Gray was elected fair and square…didn’t break any laws…he got “terminated.”</p>
<p>Well so let the new Congress bring articles of impeachment if it thinks that is appropriate. Why should a lawfully-elected official resign?</p>
<p>well, lots of Republicans have already had to resign, after saying they did nothing wrong…jsut a thought</p>

He will not resign. He was elected by the people of the United States of America to serve as Vice President and to stand second in line to the Presidency. He has an obligation to finish his term and will do so.

<p>Zooserman: I am telling you…they are sitting in a smoke filled back room thinking of a way for Cheney to resign too…They are thinking of 2008 now and don’t give a rat about the electorate. The defeat means they need to go on a major offensive to fly a candidate in 08 that can undo the damage done yesterday. </p>
<p>By the way, loved the press conference today. When asked why it was just just last week when GW said Rumsfeld and Cheney would definitely stay for the next 2 years and today Rumsfeld is gone, George admitted to telling a little white lie to the reporters for political expediency.<br>
He was 1000% publicly behind Rumsfeld last week. </p>
<p>Cheney can use his heart condition as a credible excuse to step down so that Dubya can hand pick his desired successor. Wouldn’t that be an interesting scenario.</p>
<p>dang…that “quote” thing failed me again!</p>
<p>Zooserman: I didn’t say he should resign, I said that I think he will so that GW can pick a successor…</p>
