His health is rough; he has been the most disastrous vice-president in history; he has lost two wars; he has lost every ally; he is despised in much of the country; he is now going to be the center of all the questions that the Libby guilty verdict raise. Why did he get so exercized about a two-bit critic during a critical time in the Iraq war? Why would he risk losing his most trusted aide by coordinating a media sting on a minor political opponent? Why would he risk committing a crime to pursue Wilson unless he had something very serious to hide? He will now have to answer many questions - either before the press or before the Senate. Mark Daniels asks the right questions:

No Andrew...he should go hunting!
Louis Gottschalk, a prominent American psychologist and neuroscientist who earned world renown after studying the mental degeneration of the former president Ronald Reagan, has lost millions of dollars to a Nigerian internet scam, according to court papers filed in California by his son.
My hope is that Bush will resign and give us a real president that can and will stand up to these rats, one who can offer a cogent defense to conservative positions and pound the daylights out of the media. The greatest example of this is the day RR with a fervent anger told the New Hampshire media that attempted to shut off the microphones at the republicans candidates debate (which had been paid by the Reagan campaign) because George Bush refused to participate, "Mr Green, I paid for that microphone". I still remember standing in my living room and cheering. He won that primary hands down even thought Bush was widely favored. We need more of that type of spirited defense of our principled positions. Sadly, we have not had such since RR. Cheney, and maybe Fred Thompson in 2008 might be able to provide it.
They are terrified Cheney will change his mind and run.
I can't believe that in 2000 I used to enjoy reading AS on Drudge! He's been a whining simperer for a long time.
I do hope you are refering to Monty Python's "The Lumberjack Song" LOL!

NO!
oops! one too many!

Great Minds...
Total ditto on this posting!
Bush has been a good president; he could have been a great president. If he had selected a competent vice-president. He didn't. He ended up with someone who's idea of resolving conflicts is shoot first, ask questions later. He marshalled bogus evidence to outpoint a rightfully cautious Colin Powell, and created cause for a war that he beleived would be a cakewalk. It wasn't. And for launching a war on a false premise, we alienated the world. Since then, his bungling in pitting Sunni's (Sauds) against the Sh'ites (iran) has only pushed Iraq closer to Iran- as kindred spirits. A fine day's work Mr. Cheney.
I don't care about this rah-rah machismo; there are good decisions and bad ones. He's made too many of the latter. Rush and the rest can lionize Cheney all they way; selective amnesia works wonders. Cheney couldn't leave Washington soon enough as far as I'm concerned. Abraham Lincoln told us to hope that in the future, "Right will make Right"; instead Cheney's view (both of the President' role vis-a-vis congress and the US role relative the world) has been "Might makes Right". So we thump our chests a while, and then realize that we've created a powderkeg in the middle east, and put Iran in a perfect position to have the first nuclear mullahcracy.
Brilliant.
The 80's are replaying on a very old jukebox..
Just from the sheer entertainment factor of seeing every liberal in the US have the top of their heads blow off:
I think that President Bush should resign/Retire in the hope of healing the divisions of the country. He can say that he feels that he is a polarizing figure and wants to give the country a fresh chance of coming together before the elections.
Chaney then would become President. See how they would like to have a President Chaney then select a Mini me VP. There would be blood and carnage everywhere in DC.
It would be wonderful entertainment. The democrats would have to come up with fresh ideas and initiatives. All they have now is ANTI-Bush. They would be thrown into confusion.
Sweet thoughts.
Americans are so stupid these days. They seem to have lost all sense of sacrifice, or sense of history. "Me me me" is the defining phrase of our sad era.
You didn't read my second post...Sullivan later ADMITTED he did so.
I think I'd drop Butt Ugly as a cause for resignation. Many states will be without any representation.
Sullivan is particularly deranged with this one. I guess BDS is a progressive mental disease.
Cheny is a great VP, made even greater by his ability to drive the left nuts.
