Steve Clemons has a hot one

steve's been burning up the internet lately what with wilkerson's "cabal" speech, the first scoop on scowcroft's new yorker article, and, who knows, now this...?

This just in from a close friend who worked inside the pinnacle of Republican power in the Senate a few years ago, so while this is rumor -- it's Republican rumor, which makes it interesting:

Steve, just heard from trusted friend that McCain was approached about serving as VP if Cheney has "health problems" or otherwise steps down.

Beyond that, speculation that Miers will step down to be replaced by a Bork-like sub (even better, Bork himself...). In other words, Cheney takes a bullet, a titanic battle over SCOTUS ensued to change the subject. You didn't hear this from me, but feel free to pass on such unsubstantiated rumors.

The politics of distraction and wag-the-dog style political machinations happen in this town.

just something to keep the mind occupied while waiting for something big and verifiable to happen...
