George Bush was interviewed by Juan Williams for NPR yesterday.
MR. WILLIAMS: Well, another question about Vice President Cheney – he said last week that – here I'm quoting – "we've encountered enormous successes and we continue to have enormous successes in Iraq." Two weeks ago you said, quote, "there hadn't been enough success in Iraq." So it sounds like there's a conflicting message there.
PRESIDENT BUSH: Oh, I don't think so. I think that the vice president is a person reflecting a half-glass-full mentality....
Mister 1% - this ogre - is a "half-glass-full" kind of guy?
Dick Cheney is the optimist of the two?
We are so....
UPDATE: I predicted Cheneycide a couple of years ago and thought - and think - I was wrong, but the predictions have started again.
Would Bush off Cheney to save his fratboy ass and his fantasies about his legacies? Only if Cheney lets him. But if rumors start swirling about Cheney's bum ticker, watch, cause that'll be the exit strategy.
