Reply #7: Are the powers that be getting ready to dump the chimp?

I'd originally thought that this was a little Brownie payback deal but if these tapes have been available throughout the time that debate was raging about what did the president know and when did the know it--then it seems more likely that they were just too hot to be released at the time.

What a difference a few months make. Iraq's about ready to break out in civil war, Cheney just shot a guy and Bush's little Dubai deal is waking up all the anti free trade feelings that they've worked so hard to bury.

I'm thinking that they are ready to cut their losses. Cheney'll go first--look for a link to the Dubai deal. Chimp will be forced to accept someone halfway sane as Veep--then the Republicans will turn on him like they did Nixon and tell him to get on that big black helicopter and head on back to Crawford.

Or maybe I've just got my tinfoil beret on a little too tight.
