The Constitution does not forbid a sitting VP from stepping down so I don't see how it's an issue. All I know is that from now till 2009 there will be reference to this incident everytime Cheney is in the news.

Well, they still bring up the President choking on a pretzel. Guess he should step down too according to that criteria.

So you actually THINK (not feel, but THINK) that a Vice President........possibly one of the finest most capable VP's in the country's history, who has done absolutely nothing wrong............should STEP DOWN because the press is made up of a bunch of pre-pubescent ninnies??

That's what you actually think?

SO WHAT?

Are you one of the minority who are against VP Cheney and not the hysterical news media?

[Jotmo]

Gee, you mean the press is going to say mean things about him?

Golly, we'd better just give in now and have him resign. No use fighting the MSN after all.

We need to do what they want or, GASP, they might not like us! OH THE HORROR!!!

[McB.]

If not this, something else.

IF you are correct about this incident being mentioned until 2009...and I'm not necessarily agreeing with you...what of it?

Frankly it will remind the public of the offensive media. And the human-ness of their vice president.

All I know is that from now till 2009 there will be reference to this incident everytime Cheney is in the news.

Big deal. Walter Mondale was Vice President for four years and all anyone remembers him for during that time is introducing some musician on national TV. Unless a Vice President ends up succeeding the President, what he does has no impact on anything.

If you are a Republican Vice President, it's your job to be a lightning rod (Spiro, Rocky, J. Danforth Quayle). Expect some Left-wing nut to start claiming soon that this whole shooting incident was a Rove plot to deflect attention from GWB issues!
