Exactly as I Predicted.

A few weeks ago, I predicted about the next few months vis-a-vis impeachment and the subsequent Executive Branch shuffle: "My prediction of impeachment, now that the Democrats won, is that as soon as the water starts to boil, Cheney will bail. Health reasons, ya know." As a result, I claimed that the next VP - who will be the President when Bush is impeached or resigns, will be Gonzales or Rice: "All this means that we may be looking at a President Gonzales or Rice in a year."

Michael Crowley in yesterdays New Republic says this:
Because standards are lower on weekends... here's a new rumor straight from an insidious "Washington cocktail party": John Negroponte is becoming deputy secretary of state as preparation to replace Condi Rice when she leaves her job. Why would she do that? To take over for an "ailing" Dick Cheney as vice president.
We'll see if I'm right and if so, may God have mercy on us all.
