Darth Cheney spells it out for McPOW an McLieberman: HE’s still the President Vice-president, regardless of whom McPOW picks as his “VP.”
That’s right ya saps! Forget all this nonsense about Sarah Palin. That’s just a Bush-league pander of collosal proportion. McPOW “naming” a vice-president is just a dog n’ pony show for low-info and rural Republicans, who have no idea McPOW is seventy-two, let alone he’s still going to be answering to Darth the Dick Cheney whether he likes it or not.
And if you doubt me, I got some really affordable Foreign policy cred from Alaska I’d like to sell you. CHEAP.
The Christian Science Monitor has the backstory:
————–
As for Joe Lieberman, the buzz today is Politico’s report that Karl Rove has actively sought to have Lieberman’s name thrown out of the running.
“Republican strategist Karl Rove called Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) late last week and urged him to contact John McCain to withdraw his name from vice presidential consideration, according to three sources familiar with the conversation.”
Rove denies this was true.
Jonathan Martin, the reporter who broke the news, has since written a follow-up where he cited a conversation between Rove and FOX News.
“Uh. Look, I’m not going to get into who I call and don’t call,” Rove said. “But this report that I called Sen. Lieberman and told him, ‘You call Sen. McCain and withdraw from the vice presidential’ is incorrect. ”
To which Martin responded, “I stand by my reporting.”
