The heart is willing
Posted by Jon Henke

Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday insisted he will be on President Bush's re-election ticket and brushed aside speculation Bush might consider replacing him.

"He's asked me to serve with him on the ticket again for the next 4 years," Cheney told Fox News in one of a series of cable television interviews. "I'm happy to do that as long as I can be of assistance and he wants me in that spot, I plan to serve."

Whatever else Bush may be, the guy is loyal to his team. If Bush has told Cheney that he's going to be VP - and more to the point, if he's told him to talk about it in public - then Cheney is a lock.

I really hope Cheney doesn't have a heart attack prior to the election. The conspiracy cranks would have a meltdown. The servers hosting Democraticunderground.com would spontaneously combust. The futures market on tinfoil would make some people rich.

Also, of course, I don't wish the guy any harm.
