Anyone thought about President Rice? Could be soon.

[Kablooie]

When you look at the order of presidential succession, if Bush goes down, here is the order of new Presidents of the United States of America.

Cheney
John Dennis Hastert
Ted Stevens
Condi Rice
John Snow
Donald Rumsfeld
Alberto Gonzales

all the way down to

Michaell Chertoff

Cheney will likely be mixed up in the scandals and won't be available.
Hastert? I hear some scandals may be coming his way.
Stevens? Don't know.

but if they all become ineligible we get to Condi.

As far as I know, she is not implicated in any of the current scandals so the job of president might settle on her.

First woman president.
First African American president.
First gap toothed president.
And the president that wears the finest shoes on earth.

1. Are you sure about the gap-toothed president thing?

I'll bet there were others.

[mattclearing]

2. That was my first thought as well.

George Washington had wooden teeth. How perfect could they have been? :D

[Kablooie]

4. Well, George Washington had his fixed up with a bit of wood.

[understandinglife]

3. She'll be indicted along with the other WHIGers.

Peace.

[Kablooie]

6. Then we get John Snow.

Secretary of the treasury.

Think he'll go down and leave the spot open for Rumsfeld or Gonzales?

[rbajai]

5. Ugh...ugh...

:puke: :puke:

[bottomofthehill]

7. It is so much scarier than that......

The big Dick gets to appoint a Vice President if the office is vacant. THe way we got President Ford. He was never elected, appointed VP and elevated when Nixon stepped down.

Now lets think a minute on who the Big Dick would nominate and if the Senate Democrats would have the balls to stand up to the Big Dick

[Kablooie]

8. Harriet Miers?

[Richard D]

9. It's like I said in an earlier discussion . . .

. . . let's hope that * is the worst president in American history. We could get a lot worse.

10. FRIED RICE

And if she asked Andy Rooney to be her VP it would be
Rice/Rooney

[Claire Beth]

11. she doesn't stand a chance n/t

[Kablooie]

12. but Rice a Rooney would be San Francisco treat.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. She is, part of the WHIG group

[DemBones DemBones]

14. If Cheney is impeached, quits, dies, whatever,

Bush could name Rice as VP and then is Bush is impeached, quits, dies, whatever. . .

15. First president who always sounds like she's about to break into tears

Ever notice that shaky, whiny tone to her voice? Find the sound sample of "no one could have predicted that they would fly airplanes into buildings...". It's hilarious. She sounds like she's just about to start crying.
