Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute proposes the removal of the George W. Bush administration and its replacement by a government of national unity:

The Blog | Norm Ornstein: The Way Out | The Huffington Post: Americans all have to consider the implications now of a worst case scenario--the problems of scandal and polarization result in a meltdown of the W. Administration and a collapse of governance in Washington. No Doubt some hard core partisans and ideologues would exult. But with the domestic and foreign policy challenges the country faces, it would be a disaster for all of us. We are in the same boat, and if it is rudderless, we all sink. So how can we deal with the consequences if that worst case scenario occurs? Here is one simple three steop roadmap:

1. Vice President Cheney resigns--and President Bush replaces him not with Condoleeza Rice, as the rumors in Washington speculate, but with his father, George H.W. Bush.
2. President Bush resigns, allowing his father to move up to the presidency.
3. Bush 41/44 chooses his best buddy and surrogate son Bill Clinton (42, that is) to be Vice President. Talk about a fusion White House. Talk about bringing us together. Talk about compassionate triangulation.

Keep this roadmap in your back pocket for now. And remember, you heard it here first.
