Leftyblogs On Cheney Rumors

The Leftyblogs are abuzz with rumors of an imminent Cheney resignation and Condi VP appointment ... but then, they've been wrongly predicting the fall of this administration since before it was elected.

In this abbreviated tour, let's start with the churlish nastiness and personal attacks. Gee, sounds like this guy.

For example, Suburban Guerilla went immediately from Cheney to Bush to Bush's daughters in a stunning display of deep, irrational hatred:

I tried to sell people on the single most important piece of legislation for next year’s Democratic Congress – forced sterilization of Jenna and Not-Jenna. “The dynasty stops here,” I said.

Is it drugs or alcohol that made her forget about Jeb?

Giddiness abounds, as evidenced by LiberalEsto's comment on Democratic Underground:

One the first day of Fitzmas, Fitzgerald gave to me
The head of Dick Cheney.

On the second day of Fitzmas, Fitzgerald gave to me
Two counts on Karl Rove
and the head of Dick Cheney.

On the third day of Fitzmas, Fitzgerald gave to me,
Three perjuries for Libby
Two counts for Karl Rove
And the head of Dick Cheney...

you get the idea...

Isn't that a violation of the vaunted and mythical separation of church and state?

The speculation ... let's make that wild conjecture ... that Condi will suddenly be VP led Democratic Veteran to this barely intelligible rant:

Condi, Preznit WHIG Wagged's bridge to that 2% of African-American who believe he's smart, erudite and cares about them. Condi, Africa-American, Female, Ostensibly Pro-Choice. Condi.

Lying, treacherous, Pwned by corporate America. Condi.

For all that, she's still a lying sack of s***who still chooses to put the 1600 Crew agenda ahead of what's in the best interest of this country.

Condi. Truly the republican choice for America...dishonest and disingenuous all in one pair of black-leather knee-high stiletto heels.

Condi, the female embodiment of the 21st Century Southern Strategy in a plain brown wrapper.

But it would be wrong to to miscategorize the Leftiblogs as nothing but vicious ranters. There's always thoughtful analysis to be found there.

Unbelievably, Rude Pundit, who I can always count on for something in outrageously bad taste, concluded his post with a thought that's crossed my mind more than once (Ken Starr overstatement notwithstanding):

Unlike that pathetic gloryhound wannabe, Ken Starr, who had to bray about every semen stain to make it seem as if he had a real case against Bill Clinton, Fitzgerald's investigation has been virtually impenetrable and quiet. And it's always the quiet ones who end up being the most vicious killers.

The Left Coaster is and scarily thoughtful:

And in case you want to know what could happen even if Fitzgerald fires blanks and nothing happens with the case, remember that Joe Wilson and his wife may then file civil suits against Bush and Cheney, and thanks to the Supreme Court ruling in the Paula Jones case, that suit will go ahead in discovery phase while Bush is still in office.

That's all the hazardous duty I can take tonight.
