One more, & this one's the best of all

I just had to share one more cartoon with you today. I guess you could say, in the words of crackhead Whitney Houston, "I went and saved the best for last." How's that for a non-sequitur?

Anyway, the cartoon above is about as sage as it gets. When our real president Vice President Dick Cheney wouldn't hesitate to go to Walter Reed for any sort of medical care, as our vice president, then that hospital, along with all other veteran's hospitals in the United States, will have achieved the level of care that should be afforded to all of our returning soldiers and our veterans.

Wait, I take that back. Cheney dodged the draft in the 1960s. Returning soldiers deserve better than anything he's getting.

I read on the Internets today that Dick Cheney may even step down in the wake of the blood clot discovered in his leg. Gee, wouldn't that be a horrible thing. Speculation is beginning to swirl that President Bush wants someone in the #2 spot who can run for president. If it happens, it would be the first time in 34 years that the Senate would have to confirm a new vice president in the middle of a president's term.

Can anyone imagine Bush trying to get someone confirmed in the Senate with the poisoned atmosphere in Washington? (A climate that has the fingerprints of the president and Karl Rove all over it.)

If it happens, Bush would have to pick someone who could be very easily confirmed. Say hello to Vice President Condi Rice, or Colin Powell. The latter would be extremely unlikely; he's walked down the road with this administration before, and he's not about to do it again.
