Now We Know It’s the End of Dick Cheney: E! Online Predicts He’ll Take the Fall

Well uh, sort of, oh, whatever…….

This proves that no media outlet wants to be left out of the “fun” of piling on:

Girls’ Club

Oh, wait! Before we get back to the really slimy splattering of Tinseltown, I just wanted to pass along a little scenario that’s currently being heard by my always reliable Desk DeeCee. Pro Bush? Move on to the next item. Anti Bush? Dig in, my sour-sweets.

My Washington source, whose throat is knee-deep in half the diddlings of that ugly-ass town, thinks it’s “only a matter of time” before Vice President Dick Cheney takes the fall for the investigation that’s currently frying Cheney’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby.

Not that big of a surprise (or stretch), really. But has anybody out there really thought this scenario through? Desk D.C. has–and how.

“Condi Rice would possibly become vice president, and this might have been what [the Republican Party] wanted all along–to get her in there for 2008.”

No merde, my Potomac pooper!

“Yes, but they may let it go, keep Cheney on board, let Condi finish out her term at State and then have her run as a VP candidate in 2008. I think people will be more inclined to have a woman as a VP candidate than a presidential candidate.”

Unless it’s on TV, right?

So, whaddya know? Looks like Hillary will have some female competition in ‘08 after all (even if on the lower tier of VP).

Oprah, are you sure you don’t want to throw your sweatsuit in the ring and make a record-breaking femme free-for-all?

So, it’s a “matter of time,” but they “may keep him on board” (by the way, who is “they”?). Zheesh.

Who needs Michael Barone, Dick Morris or Stan Greenberg when you have genius like this on display? (/sarcasm)

  1. I like how they go from, “this could happen” to “this might happen” to “this is happening!”

    I really doubt Condi will be on the ‘08 ticket. I think it’s gonna be Giuliani and McCain.

  2. Besides which, the Condi speculation has been going on since the first term. Desk DC isn’t exactly breaking new ground with this Gedankenexperiment.
