ROME — There's nothing stopping Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin from serving well in the White House, according to the men who now hold the nation's highest offices.

"She's had executive experience, and that's what it takes to be a capable person in here in Washington, D.C., in the executive branch," President Bush said in an interview to be shown Tuesday on Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends."

"John McCain made an inspired pick," Bush added. The former two-term Texas governor came to Washington without experience in national office _ the path Palin is trying to follow.

Vice President Dick Cheney told reporters in Rome on Monday that he "loved" Palin's speech to the Republican National Convention. Cheney laughed when he recounted her line about the difference between hockey moms and pit bulls being a coat of lipstick.

"I thought her appearance at the convention was superb," Cheney said. He was asked whether he thought Palin could handle the No. 2 job under a president John McCain.

"Everybody brings a different set of experiences to the office and also a different kind of understanding with whoever the president is," Cheney said during remarks at the residence of U.S. Ambassador to Italy Ronald P. Spogli.

"Each administration is different," he said. "And there's no reason why Sarah Palin can't be a successful vice president in a McCain administration. Such a White House, he said, "won't look exactly like the Bush administration or the first Bush administration, the Ford administration. It'll be relatively unique to this president and this time that they're in office."

Cheney had spoken with Palin before and met her once at a governors conference, a representative of the vice president said. After McCain named her as his running mate, he called to congratulate her.

The Rove machine has dealt in deception for so long, and the media has done little to discover the fraud. Remember Bush at the debates, wearing the audio transmission pack on his back? Of course, no one could prove that Bush was cheating the debates, but the real issue emerges as that of Bush/Rove/McCain being the campaign of more fraud on the public. We know now that Bush / Cheney defrauded the country on so many issues, with Rove's backing.

Today, Rove is behind the scenes of the McCain campaign. Is the child Trig Gov. Palin's? This question is a private family matter, but if it's true that this story is false, it's just one more example, like the debate audio transmitter, like WMD's, like Saddam-Al Qaida connection, that demonstrates the level of fraud in the Bush/Rove government and would be Rove/McCain government.

Call me crazy, but this is a pattern. A pattern that will lead to more needless war, more American soldiers' deaths, more deficit spending to enrich GOP contractors and more damage to the fabric of America.

Hmmmm. Maybe I didn't make a mistake after all...

I'm so relieved! With Dick Cheney's reputation as a boloved and trusted government official, his endorsement makes me feel so much better about the Palin selection.

"She's had executive experience and that's what it takes"

Bush & Cheney have decades and decades of executive experience. How has that worked out for America? This time let's go for intellect. Obama has the intellect to make the right decisions, and Joe Biden has the foreign policy experience to take over if he has to.

This is Bull S- - -, Palin can't even handle her Children and her husband is hen pecked ,
She clames to be a mother of a new born baby with down syndrom ,and the baby belongs to her Daughter, wait and see, they should order a DNA test to settle this once and for all, I will be glad when the truth comes out about her dealings in Alaska , and that Voice of her's makes me want to smash my T.V screen, Maybe God will turn the Table on her and her Church and Mc Cain befor Nov,
LET"s pray for that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sarah Palin and her church remind me of the Jim Jones town killings, What in the world has become of America ?? some one better do something befor Mc Cain and this Idiot Palin get into Office, Church and State should be seperate, this church is of the Devil himself, Mc Cain has lost his mind picking a woman like this, and the people who picked Mc Cain are Blind in Religion, Come on American People ,do you want to spend Billions of dollars every month on Bush's War and loss of jobs and homes lost, all I can say is that republicans are STUPID people with no mind of their own, at least we pick a man like Obama and Joe Biden who know what they are doing,God help our country,

DUCK CHENEY was passing his crown to BARRACUDA,That's great !

She is the reformer and Cheney is the consultant.
Of course the same policies will going to happen,if the part 3 episode of Bush/Cheny novel will
continue.the only character that replace was Barracuda,as Cheney's alternate.

SAME TUNE,SAME STORIES,SAME SUSPECT.
