Alfonse says Cheney should go...

Granted, this is from the guy who had an obsession with Clinton's willy and was rewarded with his ouster in the 1998 New York Senate race by Chuck Shumer.

A former Republican senator said Wednesday that President Bush should drop Vice President Dick Cheney from the GOP ticket and replace him with either Secretary of State Colin Powell or Arizona Sen. John McCain.

"As an observer of politics, I believe the president can guarantee his essential re-election by looking to several other notable individuals who would add a great dimension to his ticket as a running mate," former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato of New York said in a statement.
