#1 I see the hand of Rove behind all this!

#2 Yea, but the WaPo failed to point out that an alien being eat my baloney sandwich.

#3 Brahahahha...

Everything is proceeding according to my plan...

#4 On Fox, Brit Hume reported this story - but the ending was extended... it was that the entire White House was laughing its collective head off over the ninnies that cooked this tripe up and ran with it. In effect, the author, Paul Bedard, is the biggest laughing stock in DC, today. And that's saying something, I guess. So move over Boxer, Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, et al - the MSM twitters hold center stage, again, and Rather has competition for MSM Moron. Rove has to be laughing loudest - they keep making him look like he could teach Machiavelli a thing or three. :-)

#5 And what, pray tell, is Hillary going to run on outside of MSM/LeftMedia propaganda and PC - Darth Seminous/Stainous, i.e. Great Caesar the Hun, Bill has pretty much destroyed anything and everything major she andor the Dems can claim from the post-Bush 1 1990's, while the credibility of the MSM is well-tottering as we speak. All Dems and LeftLibs, etal. are RINO's and Rightist Conservatives now. Hillary and Madman Dean, aka Mr. Judy Dean, can't expect to still be calling for UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, etc, while NOT explaining to Amer voters why its needed and espec how is going to be paid for wid out raising taxes.

#6 I'd vote for Condi

#7 Condi should have gone through the 2004 elections if she wanted the job. Becoming President without going through a single election cycle is pretty rare.

The Plame-CIA case is a non-starter. If she was not a field agent (and she wasn't for five years prior unless she took her kids with her) then no crime was committed. Why would Cheney resign in that case?

#8 Since genealogy is a hobby, I will try to find a link between either Rove or Cheney and Machiavelli.

After all Cheney is a 7th Cousin of mine...
Common ancestor was in 1600s in Maryland...

#9 rjs, Eisenhower comes to mind as someone whose first electoral campaign put him in the White House.

#11 "Becoming President without going through a single election cycle is pretty rare"

Two generals in a hundred and fifty odd years is pretty rare. If Condi was a General perhaps her chances would increase. I have no problem with her, but she should have been VP in 2004 if she wants the job in 2008.

She has said repeatedly she does not want the job.

#14 I agree, I don't think she wants the job either, but now Dick Morris and his new book have dredged it up once again.

I think she'd be happier as baseball commissioner (or was it football?)

#15 entire White House was laughing its collective head off

Point of clarification: do you mean their little heads or were you worried about saying "asses"?

#16 Heh, Brit didn't say, lol.

"esq" - Moved up the social ladder, huh? Got that country club memebership? :)

#17 Right storyline rong acters. It's Darth Don taking over from the Chainey. (low batteries)

#18 Wouldn't THAT cause a collective case of the screaming meemies inside the Beltway? (Rummy taking over for Cheney, who followed him as SECDEF after his first stint and whom he sort of served 'under' this time around ....)

Gee, not only a Cabal, but a handknit Cabal. Heh.
