THAT'S DIRTY, HARRY

The degree to which the new Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill despises Vice President Dick Cheney is a big plus for President Bush.

Consider why incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid scrapped an idea to impeach Bush: "Two words: Dick Cheney," he says, joking that it would vault the veep into the Oval Office.

Hello? Why not go after Cheney first? He has more skeletons in his closet than Six Feet Under.
