    Dad's Bailing Junior Out Yet Again

    My best guess is that James Baker has assigned Dick to traditional vice president duties. (You die, I fly)

    I would love to know the details of the extent to which James Baker is directing matters and would like to believe Cheney was told in less than delicate language that his like minded buddy Rumsfeld was out due to incompetence and he could either STFU or join him.

    Joe Scarborough made me laugh when he said that Democrats forced Rumsfeld's resignation. Most of them hadn't even slept off election night wins. This knife making this cut came from someone much closer than the opposition party.
