I just suddenly realized that Pelosi is going to be next in line for the presidency after Cheney. Let’s not have Bush and the VP together for the State of the Union this year or I’m just going to be tense the whole time.
UPDATE:
Here’s how this came up this morning. SarahK was asking why they need both a Speaker and a Majority Leader, and I said, “Well, the Majority Leader is a party position, while the Speaker is a postion outlined in the Constitution and is in line for the presidency after the VP… Gah!”
Cheney may have to return to his bunker to keep the Presidency from falling into their hands.
First!
The “Grandmother” in charge! Very scary stuff! Bet Osama is terrified!
I had not thought about that yet. This pretty much ruins my entire day.
The sound of ‘President Nancy’ too much for you? …on the bright side, it’s the one sure way to innoculate the country against a ‘President Hillary’…forever…and ever…
I hope you didn’t choke on your poptart. This is scary indeed.
Praise the Lord that the president is so healthy. He’ll probably outlive most of the House and Senate. But I worry about my homeboy Mr. Cheney. Hang in there buddy. We don’t want Miss America as Vice President.
Dick Cheney was a right wing draft dodging coward. He was not the Allmighty.
“President Hillary”… Those two words should NEVER EVER be uttered in public without a crusifix and a wooden stake at one’s side! Shudder…..
PaleoMedic, you need not worry about a direct ascendancy to the VP spot. If, Godforbid, Cheney met with some mishap, W. would get to pick a new VP.
This happened when Spiro resigned. Nixon picked Ford and now he’s the longest living ex-Prez record holder.
Just be glad that Pelosi will be in the same chamber as Bush and Cheney.
President Pelosi!?
Jeez, that is one scary thought. Some days, it’s just not worth chewing through the leather restraints in the morning…
This could be great! Picture this:
Mud-smeared Pelosi and HRC in a b###h-fight for the Presidency!
Ah, never mind.
