Chatting to hasimir at pixiewitch7’s party the other week, he noted that if the Democrats got the US House and then they impeached both Bush and Cheney, the Speaker of the House would be President. (Thank you, West Wing, for teaching us everything we know about American politics).
Anyway, that Speaker would be a Democrat, cos that’s how it works. And we were just thinking, “Ooh, neat! Clever way to get a Democrat president early’
But it gets better.
You see, the Speaker of the House is now a woman. The first woman to ever be Speaker.
And that means our little scenario would turn up a woman president.
To misquote a Gary Larson cartoon, “Oh please, oh please, oh please”.
