Cheney
Yet again, there's excitement in blogland about the possible indictment of Vice-President Cheney, and yet again it doesn't seem based on much more than smoke, rumor and wishful schadenfreude.
My only contribution to this fest is this: Rather than ask, 'Will Cheney resign if indicted," far better to ask, "Will Cheney resign if named as an unindicted co-conspirator."
PS. Do note, please, that the rumor as to who would replace Cheney is the person I picked as the leading candidate to replace him.

It!
The rumor-mongers are just silly. Even completely aside from the elephant-in-the-room of being a black woman, the Republican Party is not going to put into the VP slot someone who has never been elected *and* has no base of supporters within party factions.
