Cheney now lives in a parallel universe separate to the White House apparently...

"Waxman noted that Cheney's office had declared itself not affected by an executive order amended by President George W. Bush in 2003 regarding classification and declassification of government materials.

"Your position was that your office 'does not believe it is included in the definition of 'agency' as set forth in the Order' and 'does not consider itself an 'entity within the executive branch' that comes into the possession of classified information,'" a National Archives official claims Cheney chief of staff David Addington wrote to him.

The Vice President's office's refusal to comply with the executive order and the National Archives's request prompted the National Archives to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office. But the Justice Department has not followed up on the Archives's request."

and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    So does this mean we get to find out about those energy meetings now that he doesn't have executive privilege?

    Exactly. I'd say as mere president of the senate he should be open for questioning.

    Cheney really fucking scares me. Here is a man who wields unimaginable power and believes himself to be about the law which is an extremely bad combination. I would really hate to see what this country would be like if this man was President.

    Look around at this country and look where we are. Cheney has been President for six and a half years. The actions of this administration have his finger prints all over them. Cheney is a sick-fucker.

    There is another scary story here (too long to post):

    It is how Cheney basically figured out ways to torture people and make it legal.

    Things must REALLY be going bad at the Bush administration!
    Even Dick Cheyney doesn't want to be part of it! :D

    i saw an interview with his press secretary, i think, and i felt so bad for her. She had that look in her eye of "I can't believe my ahole of a boss is making me answer questions about his dumbass statement". It appeared that before answering every question she had to fight back the laughter of the absurdity of her answer, which she, and everyone else, knew was complete BS.
