Cheney the spook?
White House insiders say it's bunk, but there's persistent talk that Vice President Dick Cheney may be replaced on the GOP ticket. Top White House officials tell us there's absolutely no truth to the rumor, but other top administration officials told us Cheney might be named to take over the CIA. What's up? Pew pollster Andrew Kohut says Cheney's not popular, but dumping him would be worse. "It would give almost a sign," Kohut says, "of panic."

Yeah, right... bring in Dick to fix the CIA? He's the ef'n problem! As for replacing him on the ticket... my personal plea to the dubyas is: "please don't!". He's such an asset to the Democratic party! Then again, maybe if they did, then dubya could be labeled a flip-flopper. Certainly he'd never admit a mistake... I'd bet that Dick would simply come down with an extended case of the flu or tickeritis. Then everyone would simply say "oh, how tragic!".
