Enough with the Gore “what ifs.” If Cheney were running…

a) Bush Derangement Syndrome would be nothing compared to the Left during the 2008 campaign season — and the Left would be united in their insanity. Hillary and Obama would strike a deal. Soros and Geffen would not even hesitate.

President Cheney would make Tom Lennox secretary of homeland security!

b) On the Right, the election would be a lot less interesting — fewer choices, but, again, some uniting power in Cheney as he would have an air of inevitablity. He’s not a perfect package either but does anyone doubt he’s experienced? Does anyone really doubt he’s conservative ( the GOP would not throw him overboard over the marriage amendment)? Potential running mate list: Cheney-Jeb. Cheney-Romney. Cheney-Kyl. Cheney-Santorum.

If I were over at the Huffington Post, I would be certain Cheney planned the suicide attack today in Afghanistan and willingly sacrificed 19 innocents.

Apply the David Frum rule to Cheney watch too: If you see him slimming down, he’s jumping in. And in the case of Cheney, I can handle a two-for-the-price-of-one ticket with Lynne. Can you imagine if they did tag-team press conferences? Remember Mrs. C with Wolf?
