Okay, so Cheney’s filling in for W in the oval office till they pull the colonoscope tube out of the presidential butt.  
Whatcha think is goin’ through his mind right now?  
Is he askin’ the guy guarding the door, “Gee whiz, what’s this red telephone connected to?”  
or “Tell me again, what happens when that guy over there holding the black bag with the nuclear launch codes has to go to the bathroom”?

One would imagine he had a morning briefing, re-ran through the procedure of, “if something should happen” again, and is probably now having lunch over the usual meetings.

I don’t imagine it is anything too awfully exciting.

He and Condi have been wondering, all these years, what the big fuss was all about. So, now’s their chance. They’re in the Oval Office enjoying a good cigar.

So if Cheney dies “in office” and Bush is still having his ass reamed, then Nancy Pelosi becomes President!!! I so hope that happens! End of Iraq War!!
