Condi in . . . ’06?
The rumor mill is spinning out of control as Plamegate drags on. And in good ol’ American journalistic tradition, US News is reporting rumors:
Sparked by today’s Washington Post story that suggests Vice President Cheney’s office is involved in the Plame-CIA spy link investigation, government officials and advisers passed around rumors that the vice president might step aside and that President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.“It’s certainly an interesting but I still think highly doubtful scenario,” said a Bush insider. “And if that should happen,” added the official, “there will undoubtedly be those who believe the whole thing was orchestrated – another brilliant Machiavellian move by the VP.”
Everyone from NewsMax to Salon.com is picking up on it so I expect it to be all over MSM by tommorrow morning.
This is a damn fine idea, as demonstrated by Wizbang’s 3 Things that don’t scare Condoleezza Rice.
