"Bush should cut (Cheney) loose." His dad didn't cut Quayle loose much to his political detriment. Perhaps if he'd picked a running mate who was not perceived as dumb, he might have won. I felt that Bush the elder did not really want to be president for a second term.

OT. What is going on? the FBI can't find our homegrown terrorist whackos, can we trust them to keep us safe from outside terrorists?

MANASSAS, Va. - Police hunting the Washington-area sniper searched Thursday for a white minivan seen leaving the scene of a seventh fatal shooting in the past week.

Police were trying to determine if Wednesday night's slaying at a gas station in northern Virginia was linked to the sniper. Dean Harold Meyers, 53, of Gaithersburg, Md., was gunned down moments after filling his tank.

Two men were seen in a white van shortly after the sniper slayings began eight days ago in the Washington suburbs. The vehicle described by witnesses to Wednesday's shooting described it as a white "panel truck."

"It's a minivan but instead of windows around the side, it's solid. We don't know about windows in the back," Kim Chinn, a Prince William County police spokeswoman, said Thursday at a news briefing.

She stressed that the Virginia killing had not yet been definitely linked to the eight earlier sniper shootings, six of them fatal, since Oct. 2.
