Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to retire within a year.
Senior GOP sources envision the retirement of Mr. Cheney in 2007, months after the congressional elections. The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.
The sources reported a growing rift between the president and vice president as well as their staffs. They cited Mr. Cheney's failure to immediately tell the president of the accidental shooting of the vice president's hunting colleague earlier this month. The White House didn't learn of the incident until 18 hours later.

When pigs have wings, I think.
Cheney is the best weapon this country has.
That is even more demonstrated by the fact that the Dems use every excuse in the book to try and get him out of his job.

Having found that the mileage estimate for the 28 gauge accident was off by a factor of fifty, lasting only a week instead of until the '06 elections, the perennial rumor of Cheney's incipient retirement is brought out of the toy box and linked, drawing the attention of those five percent who are alarmed at the prospect of yet another week without significant news.

Lol! That's so true. Why find REAL news if you can just make some up? One unnamed source, a long standing rumor and...VOILA! Instant news.

Of course he'll quit in order to ensure that he doesn't hurt the President's re-election campaign.

Please please please pick a black VP. Oh that would be so great if the GOP could trump the Dems on first black VP. Checkmate!

Just as bogus as the first 999 "Cheney is retiring" stories. Exageration!!! I've only counted 912 of those stories! ;)

The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush. If Cheney is such a political liability to the GOP then why wouldn't he step down before the midterm elections?
He's not going anywhere. .....as always.

Bush doesn't appear to be too bright.
Vicente Fox will become the new VP. 11 million automatic illegal votes. Power is the name of the game - screw the USA.
