The Oversight Committee has learned that over the objections of the National Archives, Vice President Cheney exempted his office from the presidential order that establishes government-wide procedures for safeguarding classified national security information. The Vice President asserts that his office is not an “entity within the executive branch.”


Another cuckoo.

Oh, has Cheney set up another "mini-government" like Ollie North's back in the Reagan years? What part of the government does the veep thinks he's in? If he thinks he's in the legislative branch (president of the Senate and all that), then the Senate Ethics Committee needs to go after him big time. Surely he doesn't think he's part of the judiciary.

MAUREEN DOWD: A Vice President Without Borders, Bordering on Lunacy

"It’s hard to imagine how Dick Cheney could get more dastardly, unless J. K. Rowling has him knock off Harry Potter next month.

Harry’s cloak of invisibility would be no match for Vice’s culture of invisibility.

I’ve always thought Cheney was way out there — the most Voldemort-like official I’ve run across. But even in my harshest musings about the vice president, I never imagined that he would declare himself not only above the law, not only above the president, but actually his own dark planet — a separate entity from the White House.

I guess a man who can wait 14 hours before he lets it dribble out that he shot his friend in the face has no limit on what he thinks he can keep secret. Still, it’s quite a leap to go from hiding in a secure, undisclosed location in the capital to hiding in a secure, undisclosed location in the Constitution.

Surely we can legally nail this slimeball before he does any more harm. Did I say "surely" - I mean hopefully.
