Rudy Floats Idea Of Cheney As Vice President Again At New Hampshire Event

Think Progress:

In an event in New Hampshire last night, Rudy Giuliani suggested that -- if he were to be elected president -- he would like to choose someone like Dick Cheney to be his Vice President. The AP reports:

Would a Rudy Giuliani administration be populated with a Cabinet of Republican rivals and a powerful, all-knowing vice president like Dick Cheney? Possibly, according to musings Giuliani shared in answers to questions from New Hampshire voters yesterday in Hooksett.

"Rudy Floats Dick Cheney For Vice President Again"
What does Dick Cheney and shit have in common? The both float in water

[unclebucky]

OK, so really, it was like this:

Bush/Reagan '80
Bush/Reagan '84
Bush/Bush '88
Bush/Bush '92
Oooops.
Cheney/Bush '00
Cheney/Bush '04
Cheney/Rudy '08???

Gosh! ;-)

Ugh.

But.

CAN it be done?

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term [a term is four years] to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.

Commentary: Because there are less than two years remaining in George W. Bush's current term (as of 2007), Vice President Dick Cheney would not be restricted by the Amendment if he were to succeed to the presidency during the current term. He would be eligible to seek two additional full terms as president.

Hallucinations of Rudy The Rat!

It's hard to imagine anything worse than the Bush/Cheney combo but this comes close!

Nightmare on Legacy Street!

[chirps]

That's it, Rudy, don't shoot yourself in the foot, aim for your head. Fool.

[GhostofBillHicks]

Is this sumbitch HIGH?
Rudy"Nosferatu"Giuliani is one confused mofo.Now the rest of the country is figuring out what NYC knew all along.This asshole sucks!
Talk about bad judgment...i'm glade this prick don't stand a chance now(i hope).

[gcallaghan]

What the fuck is Rudy saying and why is he saying it?
1. He doesn't want the nomination this time around but is setting the tone as THE most loyal party member for 2012.

2. Cheney accessed the NSA wiretap reports on Rudy and latched onto him as the most vulnerable of all the candidates.

That should be the kiss of death for his campaign.

Good riddance!

[sparkandy]

rudy might as well just go home. nobody, not even most repubs, want cheney anywhere the white house.

[Purple Girl]

I knew It!!! DICK will never leave until he's carried out either kicking & screaming or on a stretcher. This man will either find himself 'invited' into the next admin officially or will be hiding in the shadows.

Rudy , another perfect Stooge. After the dismal results in Iowa, the Factory must be increasing production of "Rovians" 2008

Sorry DICK NO THIRD TERM FOR YOU!

[kfdan]

This guy is way out there! I imagine the GOP would go wild for Cheney. Considering he's one of the biggest criminals to ever be in office, I'd think old Rudy would be distancing himself ... but no, he's going for the outrageous!

[AbstractImp]

Wow, I made this observation in mid-November, when Nosferatu-Ghouliani was beginning to feel the effects of his love triangles with Bernie Kerik.

Seeing the picture of the two of them sitting together at a Yankees game - Nosferatu's favorite "9/11 hangout" - makes one think this deal is already in the bag, along with the bodies they plan to kill in their continuation of the endless war for profit program.

Here is what I wrote two months ago:
---
It will surely be a dark day when the aura of Nosferatu-Guiliani spreads out from the dark streets of Gotham all across this once great land. It could only be a signal of death for another million, or perhaps many millions, of those innocents like you and me who unfortunately happen to inhabit the streets of whatever nation slips into his attention.

I wonder why Nosferatu hasn't already named Cheney to stay on as his "vice" president? They both like mass slaughter, will kill without just cause, and Nosferatu can't wait to get his slimy long fingers on the trigger.

Wow, it's a match made in ... The Heritage Foundation...!
---
Was it prognostication? No, just the basic fear I get whenever I see mass murderers talking together.....

There are several things I can think of that float better than that idea Tudi. One of them is what you're full of.
