Aside from an occassional propping up the Democratic side of a topic on the morning news shows, we won't hear of him again.

I think you are wrong.

Tomorrow will tell, IMO; if he shows up to grill Condi Rice, he's not going into hiding.

FWIW, I still believe we will shortly be hearing one of his classic "anti-war" speeches from the floor of the Senate; he's got one he's been making since he attacked Lyndon Johnson when he was a senior in college; he's been using the same text since then, so all he has to do is change the names to Bush and Iraq.

For the next few months he will be a bit more relevant, seeing as how he was the losing candidate and all. After that he will disappear and appear occassionally with a firey speech on the floor of the Senate. Look at how marginalized Al Gore is now.
