Look at me - underestimated from Day One. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, now, would you?

With regards to Cheney's irregular heartbeat just a couple of thoughts-

+ If, God forbid, something happens to Cheney does Bush become President?

+ I would recommend to any parents of small children in the D.C. area that they keep a close eye on their kids in the next couple of days. If Cheney's condition is serious he'll have to sacrifice something more important than a goat to the Dark Lord in order to keep his ticker going.

+ Could this just be Presidential politics? Cheney steps down and Bush puts Giuliani in office so he's got the inside track in the election?

Adios Alberto!

Word is he's off to private practice to represent Michael Vick. Apparently his strategy will be that Vick wasn't "torturing the dogs to death" he was using "alternative interrogation methods."

Since we went from the awful AG John Ashcroft to the odious Alberto Gonzalez I can only assume that Hitler's resurrected corpse will be the next tapped by Bush to fill the office. A recess appointment won't be necessary as Senate Democrats will trust Bush's judgement in these matters.
