Washington Post, hot on the trail of a 3 year old story

I haven't done one of these in a while, so bare with me.

Here is the stupid article from the post in question. But if you don't want to read it, it's just the old GOP wants to replace Dick Cheney with a winner for '08. No kidding. I can't remember how many other progressives I have had this discussion with, and why we don't want to impeach Bush without impeaching Cheney or just Cheney.

This "breaking news" was apparent from about January 2005, since everyone knows the Dick isn't going to run for the presidency. And now that he seems to have gone just absolutely crazy (I am sure you are familiar with his claim not to be part of the executive branch - which is the stupidest idea ever. I read the Constitution every week - dude your in the the executive branch) the old guard of the GOP wants to replace him with...Fred Thompson.

Donk...Donk... I can not think of a more unqualified person than Fred Thompson to be an unelected Vice President. Just because you play a tough but fair person on TV, doesn't make you tough but fair. And what is with all these people saying Fred Thompson has a "movie Star" quality. This guy was hit with an ugly stick early in life, he is no movie star, he's the villain, the sea captain, the homeless man that makes Brenden Frasier really feel his white liberal guilt.

Fred is at best a character actor, not a movie star. At worst, well he's a hack. I mean the guy only plays politicians, cops, and military guys - not much range. And just because you played the president in a god awful HBO movie (and they are usually good, don't know where they went wrong on that one) doesn't qualify you to be president either.

I guess it really doesn't matter. What this article fails to point out is that the Senate must confirm the new VP. And you think Fred's gonna get the nod? Exactly. Your more likely to see Vice President Virgil Goode.
