Could Dick Cheney follow in the footsteps of the last two-term Republican vice president? At least one major New York City newspaper thinks so.
Among unannounced, potential 2008 presidential candidates "the one that who [sic] would bring the most to the race is Vice President Cheney," writes New York City’s daily newspaper The Sun in an editorial.
In addition to having a "defender" on the campaign trail, says The Sun, Cheney offers attractive qualities as a candidate.
"He has foreign policy experience by virtue of having served as defense secretary, and he has economic policy experience, having served as a leading tax-cutter while a member of the House of Representatives," writes the newspaper.
The paper goes on to claim that Cheney’s wife Lynn would be an asset to his campaign and that she would "make one of the greatest First Ladies in history."
There are some things that just shouldn’t be said [like "Cheney for President"]. It’s like in the Harry Potter books – "he, whose name shall not be spoken.” Other characters also come to mind:
And speaking of type-casting, there’s always Lynn:
