Cheney's Brass Balls

They must be huge for him to declare that his office is not part of the executive branch:

"Vice President Dick Cheney has asserted his office is not a part of the executive branch of the U.S. government, and therefore not bound by a presidential order governing the protection of classified information by government agencies, according to a new letter from Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., to Cheney.

"Bill Leonard, head of the government's Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO), told Waxman's staff that Cheney's office has refused to provide his staff with details regarding classified documents or submit to a routine inspection as required by presidential order, according to Waxman.

"In pointed letters released today by Waxman, ISOO's Leonard twice questioned Cheney's office on its assertion it was exempt from the rules. He received no reply, but the vice president later tried to get rid of Leonard's office entirely, according to Waxman.

"Leonard did not immediately respond to requests for comment."

I was actually about to look up whether the Vice-President was part of the Executive branch but then I beat myself bloody with a rock. The gall of this administration has gone from astounding to holy shit! in a heartbeat. Pretty soon these guys will claim that they're exempt from international law because they're from Mars, and we'll actually look up on Wikipedia their birthplaces, and go to write a rebuttal, but by that time they'll have invaded Iran...and lost.

Impeach them all.
