I have seen mentioned that some people have started a movement to draft Dick “Dick” Cheney to run for President in 2012.
While it is generally not a bad idea to allow wingnuts to waste their time, money, and energy on worthless causes, as it keeps them from getting under foot while the adults attempt to clean up their messes, I would note that with all of its resources, the Selective Service System of the United States was unable to draft Cheney. Actually one of the few things that Cheney seemed to have been able to do well in his life is avoid the draft.
While I understand the desire to put the only person who frightens all of the winger talking heads in charge, calling it a “draft” was really a deal-killer.
