Back when Dan Quayle was Vice President, liberals joked that he was George H.W. Bush's insurance policy against assassination. Ha, ha. Now, we have throughout the world an enemy that has sworn to destroy the White House, and if they should succeed at doing so while both W and Cheney are there before January 2009, the next President of the United States will be this bubblegum machine in a dress whose self-stated qualifications for being the most powerful woman in America are her military experience and expertise, her distinguished record of legislative accomplishments in Congress, having two "x" chromosomes, and the vast amount of progeny she has produced. I think putting her in the #3 position has made it infinitely more dangerous to be numbers 1 and 2. Secret Service, we need you more than ever now.

As has been discussed here at FR quite extensively, accidental President Gerald Ford did quite well steering the nation in a time of crisis, and was selected for the job of Speaker of the House with that possibility in mind. Did the Democrats sincerely believe that God forbid anything happen to Bush and Cheney, this woman was in any capacity prepared to be Leader of the Free World? Or were they just thinking of the temporary boost they would get for shoving the first female up to the front of the room? (Put your hands down, it's a rhetorical question.)

I refused to watch the news all day Thursday as the coronation of Queen Nancy was celebrated by the MSM. I did see late on Friday a clip of her at the Speaker's podium, congratulating herself for having ovaries, emitting that Fran Drescher laugh that is just as annoying as President Bush's verbal stumbles, and holding an infant as she was surrounded by moppet props encouraged to touch the Speaker's gavel like it was a relic. It was the most sickening thing I have seen since 9/11.

We are living through the DNC's Harriet Miers moment. This time, it's going to last at least two years.

Whose first priority would be focusing on changing the drapes in the Oval Office to match her tastes.

Gerald Ford was not speaker of the House, and quite likely never would have been. He was House *Minority* leader. He was appointed VP by Nixon after VP Agnew resigned, as Nixon's insurance policy against impeachment, which didn't work. The nation was indeed fortunate that Nixon at least picked a good honest and well meaning man from middle America, as his back up.

Hey Smithee! You are a good writer, and I like your style.So much so that I visited your melanin content Freeper home page. Damn , you're sharp tongued!So refreshing to read, in the middle of the 2 line poofter posts ( mine included) which attempt to address complex political issues, and mostly fail.

Sometimes I think that there are several dozen of us here on FR who should be immediately elevated as RNC speech writers..... and paid 200 grand a year for our efforts.

Let me be the first to shake your hand for that bit of highly accurate and entertaining bit of writing.
