As this Plame-Gate develops, I keep thinking back to administration adviser Ed Luttwak and his old book on how to perform a coup d'etat, and his passing reference to the palace revolution, so I looked up the definition:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>pal'ace revolu'tion<br><br><br>a challenge to or overthrow of a sovereign or other leader by members of the ruling family or group. Also called pal'ace revolt', pal'ace coup' Pronunciation: (kOO). [key]<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>I have to wonder if Cheney's office has performed a "palace coup" of sorts, to wonder if his office has everything but the title of "President'". <p></p><i></i>
