Today's winner is Sally Quinn....

Time to send Quinn back to the Style section where she belongs.

Not the least of which is that the surest way to guarantee that Fred would not become the next president (a long shot to begin with), would be to pick him out of the field of candidates and put him in the vice-presidency. The bitterness and anger from the other candidates who would see this as a hugely unfair and inappropriate attempt by George Bush to choose his successor, would cause a coalescence of attacks against Fred that would torpedo his campaign. It would be ugly, and hugely entertaining.

Just read this:
The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week’s blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was rising.
That’s Sally Quinn’s a...

She's not talking about Republican party nonentities like rightwing bloggers or voters in her article. She's talking about big money donors (see that article the other day about CEOs going to Hillary and Obama in droves?) and politicians who know they'll drown if they keep standing on the deck of Captain Cheney's USS Iraq yelling the ship isn't sinking.

With McConnell and Lugar making noises about pulling the plug on Dick’s favorite war he may not want to be around for the final act. OTH Cheney is a warrior and he’ll most likely fight til the last
breath of the Republican party.

And why wouldn’t Ol’ Fred wanna be Veep for a year and a half? It’s the closest he’s ever gonna get to the White House. And who knows, without Cheney to serve as the fire to Bush’s frying pan impeachment just might go forward and Ol’ Fred might even become president for a month or two.

BTW where do I send my check for the Cheney Memorial? As a Dem I want him remembered for the centuries to come.

BTW, hasn't Bono praised Bush already for his support of finding a cure for AIDS?

Hmm..., define major.

Heh. Name brand journalists working for big name publications. Quinn certainly qualifies in that regard.

And this isn't just a dumb opinion piece, either, but wishful thinking disguised as reporting.

According to Sally Quinn, in an op-ed in Tuesday's WaPo: The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week's blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was risin...

This has to be the dumbest thing I’ve seen from a major journalist in quite some time.

Hmm..., define major.
