Will WMD Stick to Dick?

Interesting think-piece on fallout from the current round of WMD disclosures: This might slip Dick Cheney right off the bottom half of the ticket he still shares with W. This would be the realization of a longstanding prediction of Bob's that Dick would end up taking a fall before November.

The article points out an amusing irony: Political observers have taken it as a given that the Veep's current visibility (Davos; Europe; Da Pope) is part of a strategy to bolster his position in the party and on the ticket. Yet he keeps saying the darndest things. Plus, every time he emerges into the sunlight he gets hit with Halliburton questions. So it may have suited his interests better to remain in seclusion, after all...
