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.

Well , color me astonished ...

BUT the people who are raising the hype value of a Palin press interview may be setting up the Republicans for a HUGE gain in voter confidence considering the fact that she is NOT that bad at interviews ...

Granted she may NOT be good at Foreign Policy but when it comes to Energy and Domestic Issues she seems to know something ...

Personally I have this feeling the whole MSM in America are setting us up for another GOP victory this fall and that is royally pissing me off ...

Well, that's good enough for me, Dick Cheney approves! We all know how popular and constitutionally-patriotic HE is.

Oh Excellent. I am so thrilled that Dick Cheney approves. Can't we make that into an ad or something? I mean, really, that does work in our favor. The Darth has discovered his new Sith pupil.

Cheney is ecstatic! He sees Palin as a creation in his own image; a self-centered, self-righteous hypocrite with a ferocious tongue.

Well I will sleep better tonight knowing that Dick has signed off on her.

Cheney, AKA Darth Vadar, Bush's puppet master and oh, so, much more ~ "Everybody brings a different set of experiences to the office and also a different kind of understanding with whoever the president is,"

What Cheney brought to the party was the death of the Constitution, War in Iraq and a sell-out to corporate special interests! What will McCain/Palin bring ~ more of the same!

Of course Cheney approves, He knows a currupt crook when he sees one and he certainly sees one in Palin who is just like that say anything-do anything Cheney.

Here is something especially for the pathetic, drooling rightwinger Dupes on this board who can read with acceptable comprehension with no need to rely on the mendacious, deceitful stooges for the Plutocracy, bloviating at the Fox Newstwister Channel:

Do you suppose Cheney could be talked into taking her hunting? Or maybe she could take him moose hunting. Oh my.
