At this point, the only thing that could really surprise me is if the President resigned. Cheney would make it interesting, but it wouldn't be a shocker. I think my shock is about used up.
Well, I predicted in 2004 that Cheney would resign so a VP that could run for President in 2008 could be in place.
Too late for that now, actually, I fear. Nobody good could get confirmed. If Cheney resigns, it will be because President Bush asks him to, and that would be because President Bush felt that Cheney had led him down the wrong path.
You may have noticed that Cheney isn't talking nearly as much as he did in the first term.
