WHAT IS THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT?

White House Defends Cheney's Refusal of Oversight

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Cheney is not obligated to submit to oversight by an office that safeguards classified information, as other members and parts of the executive branch are. Cheney's office has contended that it does not have to comply because the vice president serves as president of the Senate, which means that his office is not an "entity within the executive branch."

And

The Archives' Information Security Oversight Office sent two letters to Cheney requesting compliance but never received a response. The office then asked Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales in January to decide whether Cheney was violating the executive order, but he has not responded either. Instead, according to Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), Cheney's staff tried to get the oversight office abolished this year.

Right. Well, the obvious question that arises here is that if the office of the Vice President is exempt from executive branch oversight, why did Cheney try to abolish the oversight office? Actually, while obvious, that's probably not the most obvious question. The most obvious question is more along the lines of "what is this fucking bullshit?!?" I haven't been watching many of the TV pundit-heads since I moved to Baton Rouge and downgraded my cable package, so I'm not really sure if any of those morons are actually trying to help make the argument, but if they do, they'll be moving into high school debate territory. I mean, really, "not an 'entity within the executive branch.'" That's got to be the most stupid shit I've heard coming out of this administration, and because this administration has been all about stupid shit, that's really saying something.

Will the pussies in Congress let him get away with this? Given their record, there's a good chance they will, in which case, they'll prove themselves worse than the Veep.

This country really disgusts me sometimes.
