Cheney to Intel leaker Senator Leahy (D - Sandinistas): "F*&k You"

#8  I'll take Cheney on a knock-out in round 1. He's got a mean knee-to-groin shot.

#7  This was deliberate. Cheney doesnt make this kind of mistake.

Gives Bush a reason to let him "decline to run", and a new Veep for the Republican ticket comes around.

Does 2 things:

1) This bubbles a bit, they announce the "Cheney decides not to run" the day that Kerry finally annouces his VP. Then a few days after the Dem convention concludes, they start floating rumors all over the place, killing any boost Kerry gets from the Demo convention. Then all eyes are on the Repub convention for the anouncement of the new VP candidate.

2) Eventually gives Bush the ability to bolster his ticket with Guliani, or Powell, etc, fairly late in the campaign, "tuning" the ticket and only leaving the Dems 2 months to attack the new VP. Drops the Cheney/Haliburton things and the "Puppetmaster" crap too. It bascially takes the crayolas out of the Lib-Loonie kids' crayon box.

Here's one wild possiblity: McCain.

Get him out of the senate seat (better conservative candidate can be put in there to replace him), and puts him "on the team" and conveniently close where they can keep an eye on him.

Plus would help with "Independents" and Undecideds, and would take some of the fire out of the "anti-Bush" croud at its edges.

#3  At last, straight talk to those who need it most. Democratic politicians don't have enough experience in the private sector to even notice that Halliburton's stock price is significantly lower than it was in year 2000 when Cheney was not in office. Of course guys like Kerry and Kennedy have never managed anything, including their campaigns.
