#1 Kinda makes me wonder about the attempt to cut Bush away from his security detail.

#2 That was in Chile. The assassination attempt was in Columbia.

#3 true, but they can't plan a hit elsewhere?

#5 Hmmm. Pot a Bush, win a Cheney. Does that make any sense at all? If you're the bad guyz, that is.

#6 Emily, I'm not sure most of the bad boyz can add 1+1 and get 2. They might also think that life under Cheney couldn't be any worse, and that killing Bush would win their cause (whatever it is) enough bennie points around the world to make it worth it.

#7 Seafarious and Steve are forgetting that the Electoral College doesn't actually vote for the president until December 13. Were Bush to be assassinated between now and then, a new nominee would have to found and agreed upon to be elected by the Republican elector slates. Cheney would become president until January 20th, but not necessarily after then. This might be a reason for someone to attempt an assassination now to through the electoral process into chaos.

#8 Sounds like the assassins are getting advice from Larry O'Donnell Esq.
