Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to retire within a year.
Senior GOP sources envision the retirement of Mr. Cheney in 2007, months after the congressional elections. The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.
The sources reported a growing rift between the president and vice president as well as their staffs. They cited Mr. Cheney's failure to immediately tell the president of the accidental shooting of the vice president's hunting colleague earlier this month. The White House didn't learn of the incident until 18 hours later.

Just as bogus as the first 999 "Cheney is retiring" stories.

The last vice-president to leave office early other than by death or coming indictment - John C. Calhoun. Not likely to happen now.

I'm beginning to think that Insight hired Douggie Thompson as its editor.

Total BS. I think this article reaps of wishful thinking on Dems, ie. Bush White house in chaos, rift between Bush & Cheney, etc. Do you really think Bush was upset with Cheney over the hunting incident? Please!!!!

Mr. Cheney's failure to immediately tell the president of the accidental shooting of the vice president's hunting colleague Even if this was true, so what?
Why did the White House need to know it within 18 minutes, instead of 18 hours.

Since Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert is # 2 in the line of presidential succession, doesn't he automatically move up to V.P.?

Senior GOP sources I'm guessing WHCD Nicolle Wallace. She has sent stuff to Drudge before. Nicolle is very liberal.

Perhaps it is true, but Insight Magazine is no longer a valid news source.
