Nutty rumor posing as news

The leftists in the media are so anxious to see something come of the Plame Affair they're unraveling. They have been hyperventilating at the thought of a possible indictment of either Karl Rove or Scooter Libby. Now they have gone a step further and are hypothesizing that Vice President Cheney is going to resign.

Sparked by today's Washington Post story that suggests Vice President Cheney's office is involved in the Plame-CIA spy link investigation, government officials and advisers passed around rumors that the vice president might step aside and that President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The left is going to be awfully disappointed if the grand jury adjourns without indicting anyone.
