This time I'm serious

Okay, so I was mostly joking yesterday when I suggested Liz Cheney for president. But thinking it over, the vice-presidency on a GOP ticket is far from out of the question. Think about it. She stays visible for the next three years, carrying the old man's mantle, and it seems entirely possible to me.

Now let's take it one step farther. In the comments of the Honor Blackman tribute post below, our old pal lefthalfback wrote:

"Notice that Jeb Bush is making a speech or 2 here and there? Talk about a dog that ain't gonna hunt!!"

LHB, I wouldn't be so sure. He's the smart Bush -- it's been known for some time. Granted, another person named Bush would have massive trouble being elected president. But as for the GOP nomination, it doesn't seem crazy at all.

And so: Bush-Cheney 2012. You read it here first.
