Dick Cheney’s assertion that his office isn’t part of the executive branch has brought about some proposed changes in the funding of his office. Since he feels that he’s part of the legislative branch, Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Rahm Emanuel(D-Ill.) has sponsored a bill that would strip Cheney’s office of executive branch funding.
Emanuel said, “we will no longer fund the executive branch of his office and he can live off the funding for the Senate presidency.”
Of course, the Dark Prince says that it’s unfair to play “partisan politics” with taxpayer money (funding his office- it’s different when the King does it).
Megan McGinn, a spokeswoman for the vice president’s office, said Emanuel “has a choice he can make: either deal with the serious issues facing our country or continue to play partisan politics.”
Because the Vice President would never do that. And, really, how important is it to anyone that the VP has refused to follow the law again. There’s important business to tend to! Get with the program. Let the Dark Prince have whatever leeway he needs to perform the duties of his office. He is, afterall, an upstanding, transparent member of the… um, well, Imaginary branch of the government? We’re not really clear as to where Dick Cheney falls in the three branches of government as outlined by the Constitution, but whichever one it is, he is never required to follow the law. Haven’t we figured this out yet? And, of course, we’re supposed to remain stupid and confused whenever his name is mentioned. The law? The Constitution? Are there such things?
It will probably never cease to amaze me that Dick Cheney considers the people of the United States to be such morons, and that he can continue to get away with his illegal behavior over and over and over again. There is no oversight of this man because he has put himself above the law and, thanks to his puppet the King he is not accountable to anyone. Impeachment is too good. He’s a criminal. Treat him as such.
Dick, lost in translation
