Not likely to happen,
Please tell me you forgot your sarcasm tag..

What are you talking about? Cheney can say anything about anybody he wants to to Libby. What Libby tells someone from the press is another story.
Only in your wildest dreams. Cheney has not even been called to testify. Bill Clinton LIED to a Grand Jury. What ever happened to him?
Speaking of which, I just heard on Savage tonight what Al Franken said Friday night about Rove and Libby. Savage is asking for CBS's head on a platter over this one.
You ARE kidding about Cheney going to jail,,,right?
[quote]It looks like Dick Cheney's vice presidency will not survive the year; he shall go to jail to do hard labor for a minimum of five years and forever shall he be denied any medical care whatsoever.
The question: if Bush stands still, who will he select for the office of the vice-presidency? (Remember, the Senate confirmation requires 61 affirmative votes.) And if not, how would Speaker Hastert do as President with Democrats in control of both houses of Congress? Or will he, too, fall? And then, who becomes vice president?[/quote]
Someone is smoking the wacky weed and fanastizing about an alternative universe. First off, there is the small matter of what the Constitution has to say about a sitting Vice President being indicted for a crime. Cheney has to be impeached first. You think a Republican controlled House is going to draw up Articles of Impeachment against Cheney for this tempest-in-a-teapot affair?? As long as he remains Vice President he is untouchable by any prosecutor.
Next, what exactly is Bush accused of here?? He, too, has to be impeached first. Again, the President being impeached by a Republican-control Senate? Please. Even if the Dems somehow wrestle back Congress in '06 and decided to play "pay back time" for Clinton, remember it takes 66 Senators to vote for conviction. Again, ain't going to happen.
Finally, if Cheney were to step down voluntarily, it would be the Democrats worse nightmare come true. There is only one person that Bush would pick: Condi. She would instantly become the favorite for the '08 nomination. Hillary vs Condi, just like Dick Morris is predicting. BTW I think this is the plan all along. Look for Cheney to step down after the '06 mid-terms for health reasons and allow Bush to make the historic elevation of a black woman into the Vice Presidency. Oh, and one more thing, she would only need 51 votes to be confirmed, not 61. But then she would easily get +90 votes in the Senate. What Senator is going to vote against one of the most talented persons in the United States for the position, let alone a black woman of unquestionable qualifications?
Condi come in at VP....Cheney gets pardoned. Everything else freezes, including the amnesty program.
