As recently as early 2007, DICK cheney has asserted that he does not have to turn over "working papers" under any circumstances because he and his office claim they have executive privilege and therefore cannot be forced to turn over these working papers even for a felony investigation (See Scooter Libby).
Let's just give old Darth the benefit of the doubt, just for the sake of argument. Let's say that he enjoys all the perks of the executive branch including the fabricated executive privilege. If a person or a vice-president is executive enough to be covered by executive privilege, shouldn't they be governed by the same laws as the president and everyone else that works in the executive branch of government? Well, not according to DICK. You see, there is a little known group of bureaucrats called the National Archives' Information Security Oversight Office. These men and women are part of the National Archives and are charged with making sure that each office that handles state secrets and classified information, keeps that information secret. They also do spot checks to see if these officials have systems in place that safeguard this classified information.
Mr. Executive Privilege, DICK "Darth" cheney, for some time now has been blocking what amounts to a Presidential order because (this is where it gets good) he claims he is not a full member of the executive branch. His argument is that he is president of the Senate so why should he have to bow to oversight of the executive branch.
In case you didn't catch it, DICK claims he and his office don't fall under the executive OR the legislative branches of government so, as some of us already knew, he is free to operate outside the law. Yes, DICK has created his own branch of government where he makes the rules and the rest of you can just fuck off if you don't like it! Apparently, this cocksucker even tried to get the office that does the oversight abolished. Hey, I have to applaud DICK for the huge set of brass balls he must have for even trying this shit. I know what he was thinking because most people aren't paying attention anyway so I could see where he might get the idea that he can do anything he wants without repercussions.
So far this miserable excuse for a man has gotten away with everything he has wanted. Maybe it's about time Congress cut him down to size. In steps Rham Emanuel, who is trying to cut executive branch funding for the vice-president's office. Emanuel is trying to force the vice-president to either let the Archives do the spot checks OR release all documents that have thus far been shielded under the dark shadows of executive privilege.
The Congress has a great case here but if I were going to venture a guess I would say that the democrats (lower case until spine replacement surgery) will fold. Why, you ask? Because they always fold. Our Congress is filled to the brim with Chickenhawks on the right and Chickenshits on the left. Dick Cheney will get his way because the aggressor always wins. Any poker player will tell you that but Harry Reid is too stupid to figure it out, and he is FROM Nevada.

Thank goodness! I mean, would you want to touch him?
Darth Cheney IS untouchable. Muwhahahahaha!
/There, fixed that for you.
Think about it. So, you don't want to impeach Bush because that would rid the Republicans of it's best moronic millstone and place Darth in power.
And you don't want to get rid of Cheney, because that creates the possiblity that Bush will appoint someone who would springboard it to the presidency.
In otherwords, Status quo and liberals win. But, it means that Bush and Cheney are untouchable.
Hehehe... Republicans may be a disorganized bunch of bumbling fools, but I get the satifaction of knowing that the Democrats are a disorganized bunch of bumbling geniuses who also happen to be wimps and won't take Bush/Cheney on.
Meanwhile... I'll be working behind the scenes to fix the next election for the Republicans. I will be helped along in Arkansas by a large cast of DINOs. Hahahahah.
It gets better. You are not going to get *much* help from the liberals either. They have been, how do you say? "Taken care of" by the big business interests in the state.
Yup, if you are liberal. Checkmate! Suckers!!!!
HAHAHA!
I personally don't buy into the aforementioned argument of the impeachment proof executive branch. Maybe I should catch you up to speed on what I think. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Gonzo, and Snow (just for starters) should all be tried for treason and hanged on the White House lawn in a spectacular public forum. If we hurry, we can do it on Veterans day or possibly Thanksgiving. What would be better than a public execution at halftime of the Lions game? I submit to you that the ratings would never be higher with a draw like that.
As for you working behind the scenes, I hope you are one of the "behind the scenes" dolts that worked for the last crop of republican candidates here in Arkansas. You guys did a stellar job of helping us create a permanent Democratic majority here. With enemies like you, we don't even need many friends. Oh, I almost forgot, I hope you get a scorching case of herpes!
