In her Wall Street Journal column, former Bush 41 speechwriter Peggy Noonan says Cheney’s handling of the aftermath of his hunting accident “seemed to reflect only incompetence, not malevolence,” but she speculates that the White House may want a new vice president anyway. “It’s not the shooting incident itself, it’s that Dick Cheney has been the administration’s hate magnet for five years now. Halliburton, energy meetings, Libby, Plamegate,” Noonan writes. “… Of course, all this is exactly like the sort of thing people blue-skied about in 1992, when George H.W. Bush was in trouble and a lot of people urged him to hit refresh by dumping Dan Quayle. He didn’t. George W. Bush loves to do what his father didn’t.” (Libertarian and former Reason editor Virginia Postrel thinks Cheney should resign, too.)

Re: "That's part of the plan, don't you think?" What plan are you talking about? "I hardly think Republicans are in complete control of any of the branches." I didn't say 'complete control' (that could only be in a Dictatorship). I said 'simultaneous political control'. Republicans are in control of the Executive branch, both halves of the Legislative branch, and have appointed a majority of the Justices on the highest court, and also federal Appeals Court judges (the Judicial Branch). Those ARE the three branches of government referred to as our 'tri-parte government'.
