What's really disturbing to me is the hints she's been dropping is that if both her and McCain and elected, she clearly intends to use Dick Cheney as
her role model.
Dick Cheney, who I suspect was the co-president during Bush II's first tem, if not the 2nd term of office. Who may had ran things that Bush wanted done but
decided doing it the legal way was too tedious. Who managed to get his old firm Halliburton the lion's share of the contracts. Who I also suspect may go
back to Halliburton once this term is done. Who I suspect, along with Karl Rove, is one of the grey eminences behind the Bush II presidency.
What's really going to be bad is not she's going to attempt it. She's going to fumble the job. Dick Cheney has been a part of the Washington crowd
for a long time. Chief of Staff to Gerald Ford, Secreatary of Defense under Bush I. He knows what levers to push. Quietly. Palin? Those winks and smirks are
not gonna do it. We haven't had a VP impeached since Spiro Agnew. Be very interesting to watch the first 2 years of a McCain-Palin presidency. Of course,
God help us all if McCain is incapacitated and she takes office.
