Like I said...utterly batshit crazy. Every last one of them

If you've liked having Dick Cheney as vice-president, and you like the idea of an unaccountable vice-president who switches off among the executive, legislative, and a self-contained branch of government operating outside the Constitution, you'll LOVE what Rudy has in store for us:

Would a Rudy Giuliani administration be populated with a cabinet of Republican rivals and a powerful, all-knowing vice president like Dick Cheney?

Possibly, according to musings Giuliani shared in answers to questions from New Hampshire voters Wednesday evening in Hooksett.

[snip]

Later, Giuliani pivoted from a question about potential picks for secretary of state to this: "Let me answer with the question of what you would look for in a vice president first -- again without any presumption that I'm going to be the nominee."

In an answer that mentioned Cheney more than once, Giuliani said, "A vice president has to be a partner in the administration. The vice president has to know everything that's going on, just in case the vice president has to step in at a moment's notice," he said. He added that during a conversation with Cheney on Sept. 11, 2001, he felt the vice president "had a sense that he knew what he was doing."


I guess Rudy relies on his gut too. (h/t)
