I think the media believes that if they repeat something often enough it will come true.

[georgia2006]

exactly..they dont report what is actually going on, but on what they wish was going on.

Sounds like horse manure to me.

What pap! This article reads like Howard Dean's nocturnal emmisions!

[Thom Pain]

I think the Brits should dump the Queen for Barbra Streisand. So there!

Personally, I like Cheney/Rice for 2008
I know, I know...Cheney says he's not running...

[manwiththehands]

Last week it was Rumsfeld. I guess this week it's Cheney. I wonder who it will be next week?

"I think the media believes that if they repeat something often enough it will come true."
Well, it must be a deep-seated atavism, like the people re-counting money all the time: on subconscious level they believe that the more they handle it, the more will be there.

Next week? Rice of course, for her "failure" in iraq to get a government done.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I don't care who knows it; I Love Dick. *Smirk* No, seriously, I think Mr. Cheney has done a fine job.

I mean, really. Look back through History at some of our VPs. Compare and contrast. Talk amongst yourselves. ;)

[stylin19a]

these morons don't know that Pres. Bush can't dump Cheney ?

[plain talk]

“If I were Bush I would think of changing Cheney. It is one of the few substantial things he can do to change the complexion of his administration. The rest is nibbling around the edges.”

Incredibly stupid statement. Yeah, changing the VP will fix everything! Actually Cheney napping while listening to a commie makes me chuckle.

John Kasich read this on his show tonight...and pretty much agreed will all of it...blech.

I do NOT understand why Fred Barnes is saying these things..sigh

Tom Edmonds, a leading Republican consultant, said the White House had failed to grasp that the party was in desperate straits.

And the political hacks believe that if they repeat something often enough, it will matter.

"The party" is not the most important thing in the world. I hope President Bush will keep doing what he thinks is right, for the nation and for the world, and not be guided by the whinings of congresscritters and political hacks who fear for their jobs.

Frankly, getting bounced out of power might be just the wake-up call the Republican Party needs. If we're going to have out-of-control socialist spending on ever-expanding federal programs, it might as well be with Democrats at the helm -- less hypocrisy, at least. And an out-of-power Republican party is much more likely to get serious about attacking that evil, than an out-of-power Democrat party OR an in-power Republican party.

pffft.

Rice as VP for Bush's third term? We could only wish.

Actually, I think they are on to something, a wholesale reshuffle at the top. Rice to VP, Cheney to State. Rumsfeld to CIA (we'll just fold CIA into the Defense Department, the few who can still pass a security clearance check).

Actually, you said it better than anyone.

It works for me!!!

[Democratshavenobrains]

If the Democrats promised to make Bush stay a conservative and make our Republican congressmen stop being a bunch of corrupt big spenders, I'd vote for them. But the only thing they care about is impeaching him and that sort of crap.

[RegulatorCountry]

I have no problems with Dick Cheney, none whatsoever. Any "jadedness" that I've acquired has occurred in the past year, and centers upon our president and the choices he's made.

That said, Condoleeza Rice would not displease me as vice president. I just wouldn't want to see Cheney booted for that purpose.

I really think the London Times is talking out their, ahem, nether regions on this, though.
