Given his track record, I think we can take this to the bank!

Heard just now on Meet the Press:

Tim Russert: What if the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in November. What do you expect?

VP Dick Cheney: I don't think it will happen. I don't think Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker.

... and this was immediately after Russert exposed a bunch of Cheney's previous predictions as baseless bravado rather than sober judgment.

So let me to be the first to congratulate the Democrats and Speaker Pelosi on their victory!
