Since no one in the blog world is going to be able to touch Jane and ReddHedd over at Firedoglake on covering all the stuff going on with RoveLibbyCheneyBush affair I thought I might take a stab at some of the things we might have to face as fallout. That is, of course, if we on the left get our "Winter Holiday" presents early.
If all of Dubya's minions, or a good portion thereof, are indicted or named as unindicted co-conspirators we will have several possibilities. There is no way the powers that actually are ruining the country will let George W. try and go it alone.
There is a strong possibility that some of the old hands from daddy's administration might show up. The number one possibility is Dubya's prime poop scooper James Baker and who knows who else.
What happens if Cheney resigns under a cloud of suspicion as a conspirator and Bush has to come up with a VP? McCain and Graham are said to be manuevering but maybe they lose out on the trust issue and Bush taps Condi to set her up for the 2008 race. A worst case scenario would be that Bush is later forced to resign as well and we have out first woman and minority President. Imagine the fun.
If everyone's dream comes true and Bush and Cheney are forced to resign, probably as a result of a plea bargain, then we get Dennis Hastert as President and a mystery guest as VP. McCain?
Regardless of the outcome we are going to have change and I for one am having a hard time thinking that it could be worse than the cabal we have now. I can't believe we are not looking at some progress in 2006 and 2008 no matter what happens.
Anyone else have some wish scenarios?
