[QUOTE=FairyChatMom] I see him sitting in the Presidential Swivel Chair, spinning around, going “WHEEEEEEEEEE!” [/QUOTE] That’s what I’d do. CynicalGabe, given Bush’s current (well, yesterday’s) position, I don’t think shooting the man in the _moon_ is such a hot idea… ---

Actually, the AP said Cheney was on the Maryland shore, reading and playing with his dogs, the entire time he was Acting President. But I’d like to imagine that he was arranging to have Bush told, when he emerged from anesthesia, that he (Bush) had slipped into a coma while he was being operated on, and that it was already 2009 and his term was over. And that he had to go into hiding right away, as 18 different terrorist organizations were out to kill him. Then Cheney could cut out the middleman and rule the world directly.
