I have nightmarish delusions sometimes, or at least like to pretend that I do so that I can write oddball rants, but today the Anchoress beats anything I can dream up about the repercussions of VP Cheney’s accidental shooting of his hunting partner, Mr. Whittingdon — if Cheney were forced to resign, choose John McCain as the new VP.

Sick of a polarized and partisan nation? Sick of a beltway that can get NOTHING done, because of obstruction and partisan hectoring? Sick of a press that cannot focus on the “real issues” because they are so busy hating one side and loving the other? Well, we’ve got the solution, the handy-dandy UNIFIED NATION TICKET of John McCain and Hillary Clinton! They’re strong on defense! He’s pro-life, she’s pro-choice! He’s personable, she’s practical! The “international community” loves them both! America can be loved again! Yayyyy!

It’s not so far-fetched. Give John McCain three years of the presidency (Hillary has shown us that she is nothing if not patient) and then have him step aside for his veep, Hillary. He gets to be called “Mr. President” for the rest of his life (books, interviews and cameras galore) and to belong to the most exclusive club in the world, the ex-US president’s club. She gets to be the “first female president of the US” – something to which she seems to have long aspired or felt entitled to – and she gets to run for TWO FULL TERMS as president, from a position of incumbency. This is a scenario that gives both of these people precisely the thing they want.

And precisely what we don’t need — a truly bipartisan nightmare, indeed! But, she does have an elegant solution, and no, it doesn’t require anyone else to go hunting with Dick Cheney. (db)
