I'll Be Expecting Your Resignation Soon, Mr. Vice President

Boy, does Washington have it in for Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney.

His chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby gets convicted of two counts of perjury; one count of obstruction of justice, and one of making false statements to federal investigators in the Valerie Palme case- where a now ex-CIA operative's name was revealed. Many people blame him for pulling President Bush's strings, using the head of the Bush crime family as a puppet (insert theme from The Sopranos here). Now, just about everyone- particularly those in the Grand Old (or must I use Good Ol' Boys)Party- are looking at him as if he's a walking case of genital herpes, genital warts, and syphilis.

Many believe that Cheney should have had his walking papers long ago, but our Dolt...er, Commander-in-Chief has this 'loyalty complex' that he can't- or doesn't seem to want to- get rid of. Like the now ex-Secretary of Defense, Donald Scums...um, Rumsfeld before him, Cheney should now get tossed out on his ass- at least while that pacemaker's still in working order.

But should King George II (his pappy is George I, but at least George I had more sense...) decide to keep Dickhead for another 1 1/2 years or so, his presence could be a real asset to the Democrats. After all, why get rid of ol' Tricky Dick (sorry, Mr. Cheney. Now that Nixon's gone to the great White House in the sky- or in the fiery pit- you've inherited the nickname) when the Democrats are itching to have everything pass in both chambers of Congress, and the support for the War on Terrorism continues to erode. Cheney's tenure as Vice President can only help them, while almost every Republican is praying to Jehovah that either Bush finally gets over his loyalty complex and kick his second-in-command out, or that his pacemaker finally gives out.

Either way, Cheney's going to say au revoir to Washington before 2007 is out.
