Everyone in Washington is talking about the lastest rumor: that Vice President Dick Cheney is going to resign, and Bush will replace him with Condi Rice. Each day it seems more and more likely that Cheney's office was somehow involved with the Plame-CIA scandal, and he may have to step down in order to protect President Bush, who could also be implicated in the scandal. Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, is a likely source of at least one of the leaks, and it appears President Bush's chief of staff Karl Rove is also involved in some way. So would a Cheney resignation work, or will the American people want this thing followed through to the end (which could be Bush)?
