A well-placed source says that the president will “most likely” drop Dick Cheney from his re-election ticket and his first choice for a replacement is former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Meh... that IS a gossip column on msnbc, you know.

Yeah, I noticed. But there is talk of Cheney not being back.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 16:46 (nineteen years ago) link

There's been talk of Cheney not being back since Day One of the administration.

Heh, too true.

I know, but who do you think it would be, or when they would announce this?

― Kerry (dymaxia), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 16:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I feel like breaking something.

What's Barbara Bush got to do with this?

more fun with Dick Cheney, from last friday's WaPo.

I wonder which one of them is nastier.

Good night administration's ties to Halliburton. We'll miss ya.

Well, if Cheney's not going to be vice-president anymore, who's going to run the country? The Masons? Again?

Compassionate conservatism?

Cheney passed away in late 2002. It's all animatronics, but the machine is getting out of control... "Who's the boss, now?" asks the vice-presidential robot.

Or possibly Anson Williams

Well, duh. Cheney.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 18:28 (nineteen years ago) link

(or Karl Rove)

Cheney might step down, but he'll still run the country. Giuliani seems too strong of a personality to be a perfect Cheney puppet. It doesn't fit into the dynamics that were made even more obvious by the Suskind/ O'Neill book. Cheney picked himself to be VP anyway. He's not going to let anyone but his own handpicked proxy be in there.

It's a scary possibility for the 2004 election if the wrinkles are rioned out.

plus rudy's more liberal than dubya. his gay-lovin', pro-choice ass won't go over well with the religious wackos.

and he has connections to Saddam-Loving Showbiz Types

― Huck Everlasting (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 19:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I figured that - it sounded silly. The only purpose for this would be the election.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 19:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Cheney, Schmeney... would Giuliani actually accept a Bush nomination?

Surely he's considering running for president himself -- would he sign on to a losing ticket, or risk running with an incumbent whose credentials are, even if he were to win again, questionable?

He could crush if he ran for president NOW -- could you imagine the Republicans gambling on winning with someone other than the incumbent at this point?

I mean, talk about history...
