CHENEY: WE WILL RETAIN CONTROL OF BOTH HOUSES

Ok, either he’s off his meds, or……
I think we got good stuff to work with. Did he meet with Diebold execs today?

ABOARD AIR FORCE TWO - Vice President Dick Cheney said he “can-t tell” how a Republican sex scandal will impact next month’s elections, but insisted “it makes no sense” for House Speaker Dennis Hastert to resign.

In his first public remarks on the burgeoning scandal, Cheney told The Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview that fellow Republican Hastert, R-Ill., should reject Democratic calls for his resignation.

“I-m a huge Denny Hastert fan - I think he’s a great speaker,” Cheney said in his private cabin aboard Air Force Two. “And it makes no sense at all for him to think about stepping down.”

Cheney aides described the vice president as repulsed by allegations that former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., sent salacious e-mails and instant messages to teenage boys working as congressional pages. At the same time, Cheney is determined not to let the scandal overshadow campaign issues that he considers far more important - national security and the economy.

“I think we-ve got good stuff to work with,” he said during a flight from Houston to Washington. “The Foley thing, again, as to how that cuts, I can-t tell.”

Cheney flatly rejected predictions by pundits that Democrats will take control of the House and Senate in November.
