Just when I thought I had heard everything, the NY Sun today endorsed Vice President Cheney for the 2008 Republican nomination:
Cheney's Chance, NY Sun Editorial, April 4, 2007
“For all the talk about potential candidates who haven't entered the 2008 presidential race — from Mayor Bloomberg to Vice President Gore to Senator Thompson and Speaker Gingrich — the one that who would bring the most to the race is Vice President Cheney”
“Mr. Cheney has virtues as a candidate in his own right. He has foreign policy experience by virtue of having served as defense secretary, and he has economic policy experience, having served as a leading tax-cutter while a member of the House of Representatives. His wife, Lynne, would be an asset to the ticket in her own right, a point made by Kathryn Jean Lopez in a post on the topic at National Review Online back in February. By our rights, Lynne Cheney would make one of the greatest First Ladies in history. Mr. Cheney, in any event, is more than
four years younger than Mr. McCain, and, if elected, would be 67 years old at his inauguration, younger than Reagan was when he took office. His health, while a topic of frequent speculation, hasn't interfered with his service as vice president.”
For a laugh, read the whole editorial here...
Salon.com's Tim Grieve has a different perspective on Cheney running...
Memo to the New York Sun: April Fools' Day was Sunday.
In an editorial dated Wednesday, the Sun said that the not-yet-declared candidate who would "bring the most" to the 2008 presidential race is ... Dick Cheney.
No, really.
Can Cheney's poll numbers really be this low..?
Hat's off to Crooksandliars for the find...
