As U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald gets closer to handing down indictments in the CIA leak probe, political insiders are spreading rumors, lies, half truths, and–god forbid–the actual truth.
One of the tales being thrown out for consumption now is that the probe is looking hard at how much of a role Vice-President Cheney had in the leaking of the name of Valerie Plame in retaliation for her husband’s NY Times article. The story goes that the Vice-President is contemplating resigning his office. No word on if this would happen before or after an indictment and or conviction. The story goes on to say that Secretary of State Condolezza Rice would then be nominated to take Cheney’s office, thus giving the nation its first female Vice-President.
Do you realize what this means?
The United States of America would be one pretzel, consumed while watching football, away from having the first female President.
Only time, and Mister Fitzgerald, will tell how this whole thing plays out.
