01/26/07 01:07 AM: Rumor Mill Continues: Cheney to Resign?
How many times have we heard this one?
Well, here it is again. From Comedy Central Insider via Crooks and Liars:
The CC Insider/InDecider has just heard more rumors (see earlier posts) from a SECOND reliable source that Dick Cheney will be stepping down as Vice President and will be replaced as Vice President by Condoleezza Rice. And now we’re hearing that she would like to be on the ticket as the GOP VP candidate in ‘08.
According to our rumor-meister, John Negroponte will be filling Condi’s current position as Secretary of State. Negroponte is currently the Director of National Intelligence (the first person ever to hold the few-years-old position) and the former US Ambassador to Iraq.
I wonder how this would go over with the rest of the Republican Party? I can’t imagine anyone from the Bush White House having anything coming close to a shot at the nomination.
