22. Biden will probably be first out of the gate with a non-binding resolution to de-fund Cheney.

Or perhaps a "bi-partisan" late night meeting with Cheney after which our leadership pronounces a breakthrough with the VP's office, while a reading of the fine print reveals that not only will Cheney continue on as usual, but that Scooter Libby's conviction has been wiped from the record as part of the deal and he'll be returning to work at the WH with a full security clearance on the next Monday.

My prediction: this matter will go no further than the usual letters from Conyers and Waxman (not that I don't appreciate these two excellent men, I do!), already-issued fiery rhetoric from Rahm Emmanuel, terse, but polite statements from Reid and Pelosi, *maybe* one or two underlings who resign, and it will all be topped off with a triumphant RNC fundraiser held in Cheney's name where he will receive a standing ovation from an assembly of GOP cockroaches. (Oh, I forgot -- the usual Shrub praise of him as a fine and selfless public servant will also be thrown in there somewhere, too.)
