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.

"Insight is getting very sloppy lately."
And pathetic.
Was Spiro Agnew indicted?
No. He pled no contest and resigned. If he didn't, he would have been.

Is a total blank page.
I even did a View Source after the page loaded and there is no text. Just formatting code.
This is just another Beltway rumor being pushed, usually by liberals in government or the press who don't have any more "insight" into Cheney than you or me.
Herr Rove is quite clever, ja?
. . . and Insight has been really weird since they got rid of their print magazine . . . I mean, off the charts weird.
ja! heheheheheheheh
What might make sense is that Cheney wants out but doesn't want to screw Dubya or the GOP for the mid-terms.
No. President Bush can appoint another one.
although I personally would love the irony of Ted Kennedy voting against the confirmation of Condi Rice as VP.
hehe
But, but, isn't Cheney running the whole thing with Rove and Halliburton?
I heard he's working on a story that the Whittington shooting was actually a crack deal gone bad.
Sorry, I didn't say that.
Worst. Job. Ever.
No, Hasert can only move up to President. That is why they call it a Presidential line of Succession. If a VP resigns, a new one is nominated by the President and its then approved by the Senate. If its not approved, the spot stay unfilled and the Speaker than is next line of Succession.
Very true. For the last while it has been full of hit pieces on the president. Full of unnamed sources and generalizations. It used to be a right wing magazine.
They'd all scream like the Deniac.
Makes no sense. If he waits till after elections the Dems could have one or both Houses making a night mare for GWB to pick anything but a lame duck for 2008.
