"President Cheney"... words horrifying enough to send 73% of America (and 98% of the rest of the world) screaming off into the night. Fortunately it's not for long:"President George W Bush is set to undergo what aides described as a routine colonoscopy at the Camp David presidential retreat.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said that during the time that Bush is under anesthesia, he would delegate power to Vice President Dick Cheney."
This will be a lateral move, if not a step down, for Cheney, who recently declared himself as separate from the Executive Branch. (Next up: Dick Cheney, National Monument.) Oh well, somebody has to do the joe jobs.
