Condi has been in over her head since 'it might have said "Bin Laden determined to attack UC"'...

My tin foil hat shuffle:

Bush , inspired by Nixon/Ford appoints Condi as the healing VP when Cheney is rocked with controversy and resigns as a result of his testimony during Libby's trial... Dub then subsequently resigns under growing threats of impeachment as Iraqi war funding is dried up under a unified congress... Condi makes a lame joke as the new temporary president about how she is a "rice plant" and not a "bush"... the Peter Principle is fulfilled, as she makes a peace offering of used Ferragamos to the Iraqi people that they are able to swat the Baghdad mozaic of the face of GH Bush with...

There is a possibility that they are planning a heart attack for Cheney. On the other hand, could it be that Condi is planning to run for the nomination or is already considered a shoe-in for the 2008 VP nomination so will have to do a lot of campaigning between now and then?

I have not talked recently with my fundamentalist wing-nut relatives about their choice for an 08 Pres. candidate, but I know they HATE McCain, are not very fond of Guiliani, and I'm sure they'd be uncomfortable with Romney. But a few years ago they were exited about a possible run by Rice. They were having fun imagining a Rice/Clinton battle.

I don't think the fundamentalist wing-nut crowd understands all the intrigue of the neocon/realist battle in the Republican party and I don't think they are consulted about these matters. But I know they love them some Condi!!

I think that is exactly what this is about. The going from DNI to an undersecretary is a huge demotion. If it was just about getting Negroponte more involved in policy they could just ask him. I definitely think this means Cheney is going Agnew on us in less than 6 months.

The Libby trial is coming up with Cheney as a witness. I think it will play out....

  1. Negroponte confirmed as deputy Sec. of State
  2. Cheney to the curb
  3. Condi to VP
  4. Laura Bush starts sleeping with the pool boy

I'm not sure about Condi running in '08 but I'm almost certain she's headed for VP.

Well, this schenario does fit in with their policy of promoting and rewarding incompetence (at least where Condi's concerned).
