Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the President, the Vice President and the Secretary of State in that order, and should the President decide he wants to transfer the helm to the Vice President, he will do so. He has not done that. As of now, I am in control here, in the White House, pending return of the Vice President and in close touch with him. If something came up, I would check with him, of course.
Go get em Al Haig.

What is "unsettling" is the sadness felt across the world in a loss of an idea. Not the man so much. He was flawed, but not what he made people believe in. It is "unsettling" that this Admin is finally going to "talk" to Venezuela, now that there is a chance that we can bully them again. What is "unsettling" is that most Americans are too fucking dumb to know what "unsettling" really means.
