There's been some scuttlebutt in recent months that Shrub will drop Cheney from the ticket and replace him with someone else (Giuliani maybe?). Not so, say the Bushies. White House spokesperson Scotty McMuffin said, "those rumors are ridiculous." If they do dump Cheney, the reason would be Cheney's health--he has had four heart attacks afterall. But even Halliburton says that their relationship with tricky Dick is "a risk factor." Now, when Halliburton considers you an unsavory character, that's not a good sign. Cheney has said that Veep will be his last job, but I'd like to think that he's mistaken and that his last job will be breaking up rocks in a prison camp.
