Cheney rumor of the day
Like I said, don't shoot the messenger. I know some folks here get very sensitive when discussing the VP being replaced. The title should be a fair warning not to read on if one find's one's self easily angered by rummors.
This is a rummor -- period. It is not from my uncle's, brother's sister's boyfriend's friend. It is from a source I have found to be reliable from time to time.
I pass it along not as truth, but as interesting.
Here goes.
Bush will sign an executive order -- several -- in the next few days implimnenting certain 9/11 commission recomendations. In doing so, he will create an Intelligence czar. He will choose someone he knows, someone who can do the job, and someone who needs no learning curve. He will appoint Dick Cheney.
In doing so -- he is said to have struck a deal with a reluctant Colin Powell to be the VP for the second term. (Powell has indicated he will not run in '08, and the source says Powell recommended someone else.) Powell, the loyal soldier, has agreed.
