Cheney: My book will have ‘heads exploding’ in D.C.

Revelations include resignation letter kept locked in a safe in case of heart attack or stroke

When former Vice President Dick Cheney releases his memoir early next week, it may cause the second earthquake in Washington, D.C., this month.

“There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington,’’ when his memoir comes out Aug. 30, former Vice President Dick Cheney said in an interview that will air Aug. 29. Among the revelations: Cheney kept a resignation letter in a safe in case he had a heart attack or stroke.

..“There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington,’’ Cheney told NBC’s Jamie Gangel in an exclusive interview that will air on NBC’s “Dateline” at 10 p.m. ET Aug. 29.

In the book, titled “In My Time,’’ Cheney addresses a broad range of topics, including the attacks of Sept. 11; a secret resignation letter he kept in a safe in case he experienced catastrophic health issues, and his thoughts about former President George W. Bush and ex-Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell. The 46th vice president discusses those topics and more in his candid, unapologetic interview with Gangel, and he’ll likely have more to say when he appears live on TODAY with Matt Lauer on Aug. 30, the day his book hits stores.

One of the revelations in the book is the secret resignation letter that only one of Cheney’s staffers knew about. Signed in March 2001, the letter was locked in a safe at all times.

“I did it because I was concerned that — for a couple of reasons,’’ he told Gangel. “One was my own health situation. The possibility that I might have a heart attack or a stroke that would be incapacitating. And there is no mechanism for getting rid of a vice president who can’t function.’’

With any luck, his will be first.

It would have been more interesting if he'd said the book would have "hearts stopping."

Nah, his "heart" surgeries have merely been failed search missions. We know for sure he has a head.

What he meant to say in this PR moment was cash registers ringing.

You mean he's going to pretend he's running for president like Sarah Palin?
