From the 'When Pigs Fly' Department, Sally Quinn suggests in the Washington Post today that a group of Republican 'party elders -- led by, say, John Warner -- could prevail on George W. Bush to dump Dick Cheney in favor of Fred Thompson.
Quinn's theory on Cheney: He's 'toxic' on Iraq and 'dangerous' on Iran, and surgery scheduled for this summer -- doctors will replace the batteries in Cheney's pacemaker -- provides a perfect excuse to say that it's time for the vice president to go.
Quinn's theory on Thompson: He could bring on Bush's 'better nature' while setting the Republicans up for victory in 2008. Besides, Quinn says, 'Everybody loves Fred.'
Not quite everybody. Although I thought the idea was to trade out Bush, not Cheney, and probably for Condee.
