Um, Mr. President, You're kind of stuck with the bald-headed gentleman. But you're perfectly entitled to dump the witty, incompetent one
On Wednesday, President Bush said he wants Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to serve with him until the end of his administration.
That, of course, is completely idiotic in Rumsfeld's case, but what I want to know is whether Bush actually thinks Cheney serves at Bush's pleasure. The last time I checked, the President can't fire the Vice President.
True, a little nudging from the President might cause a Vice President to resign (and Bush could basically curtail Cheney's duties to nothing more than painting Easter eggs), but Bush certainly can't fire Cheney.
Moreoever (there's a good legal word), even as loyal as Cheney is, my hunch is that if Bush tried to dump him (i.e. asked him to resign), Cheney would address the President in a manner quite similar to how he addressed the distinguished senator from Vermont a few years ago. "Go fuck yourself!"

so, what you're saying is, bush is exactly the type of person who wouldn't study, isn't smart, is intellectually lazy, and would get us stuck in a war in iraq?
:P

Dubya's lack of smarts never ceases to amaze me...

How are you enjoying all those polite political ads here in VA :) I know personally I will strangle myself if I see one more thing about Michael Steele and puppies.
Ugh :(
