Partly Facetious: who is going to be dumped?

"So the White House did yet another leaking."
Published October 11, 2007

"So the White House did yet another leaking."
"Really I didn't hear of it."
"Director of a group that monitors Islamic websites has accused the White House of leaking an Osama bin Laden video that was passed onto senior US officials on the condition that they keep it a secret and..."
"This White House is not going to keep anything secret if it thinks that it can benefit from a leak."
"But they never do benefit. I mean the Valerie Plame case where they outed a CIA agent - they didn't even get short term benefit from that."
"I said they leak stuff out, I didn't say they do it intelligently."
"That's certainly true. I hear now all Republican candidates for the president are trying to distance themselves from Bush and his policies."
"Right, McCain didn't and he suffered."
"True but one thing has to be said. The core Republican base, the evangelical belt in the heart of the country, is still supporting Bush - not in great numbers as before but he still has his supporters there."
"Makes it awkward for the presidential candidates - do they get Bush's blessings or not. I mean they can't afford to lose their core base."
"Maybe they should curry favour with them in the caucuses and then when the general elections come along then they should dump him."
"It's all politics - currying favour one day and dumping the next."
"That is one lesson Pakistani leadership has learned well.
"I do wonder who is going to be dumped in the near future."
"The Chosen One."
"Ah yes, almost certainly. And then the Chaudhrys."
"BB would almost certainly be back if that will be the case."
