NYT PAGE ONE THURS: BUSH TO DROP CHENEY GOSSIP
Wed Jul 14 2004 18:21:14 ET

The latest theory about Vice President Dick Cheney's future on the Republican ticket, advanced privately by prominent Democrats, including members of Congress, holds that Cheney recently dropped his personal doctor because of drug addiction so that he could hire a new one, who will conveniently tell him in August that his heart problems have made him unfit to run with Bush!

So reports the NEW YORK TIMES, in a planned Front Page story on Thursday.

Yeah, saw that on Drudge last night.  Gotta love how gossip makes front page "news."

In defense of Cheney and all older people I must say one thing. What some people call "addiction" is almost a requirement for some older citizens just to make it through the day. I know many older relatives who take many drugs a day just to be able to get up out of bed. If Cheneys health will suffer because of 4 more years maybe he should step down.

Let's see.  This is based solely on Democratic sources?  How ridiculous.  The NY Times continues to sink deeper and deeper.

It is not the media. It is a trial balloon. That's how these things work.
