2006 is only two years away; it took less time to get rid of Nixon and he actually won by a landslide in '72.

It amazes me that I wrote this line a year ago. I figured then that it was just pissing in the wind at best, but if Fitz really does have Cheney in the gunsights, ... well, hell...

It's amazing someone can declare a mandate after losing an election.

What's this about Fitz having Cheney in his sights? He already seems to have blinked on Rove, so it's hard to muster up much hope for taking down bigger targets.

I'm not sure he's blinked on Rove at all, he's just taking his time. Or Rove's now cooperating. The real point of this is to get Libby to flip -- the guy's looking at 30 years of bone-me-in-the-ass time and disbarment when he gets out, which is just Not Good by any reasonable measure.

Of course, this is what I get for reading firedoglake.

OK, maybe he'll get 2-3 years of time before Bush pardons him, on the off chance that Bush will wait until he leaves office. And given the level these guys have stood by each other, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought that was acceptable danger.
