A sign I saw when I wandered past the big protest (and go to Portland Indymedia for some images of the event) was “Impeach Cheney First!” I don’t really believe in “Impeachment”, simply because you’re removing a president who’ll be stumbling through two years, and two years isn’t too much time to wade through. I note that “They may Impeach Him” has become a Republican rallying cry to spur the base for the midterm elections, nevermind the Democratic Party’s rather… minimalistic… Opposition strategy. But in Impeachment parlor, Cheney would go with Bush. The role of a vice-president has obviously grown from the days of old Throttlebottom.

So, is the question that is up in the 2006 midterms whether our next President is Dennis Hastert or Nancy Pelosi? (Or is there a President Ford in the waiting that can be plucked in to fill Cheney’s role?) I don’t get it.
