Dick Cheney is above the Law of Man - Does that Make Him God?
Dick Cheney apparently thinks he's God!
Dick 'Skeletor' Cheney and his allies are the single biggest danger to the history and values the United States, both at home and abroad...
While George W. Bush may well be the single worst American President in history, 'Cheney and friends represent the single gravest threat to the American Constitution and the 'American experiment' since the Civil War. At the same time, 'Cheney and friends' may very well be the single greatest threat to world peace since the end of the Second World War...
Doubt me? Scooter Libby & Valerie Plame, Cheney's assertion that he can declassify information whenever it suits him politically, his sending 'Torture Tsar' Alberto Gonzales on a nocturnal mission to Ashcroft's hospital-bed for some arm-twisting to try to maintain apparent justification for an unconstitutional spying program, lastly his recent refusal to even allow Congress know who he has met with (while instructing the Secret Service to destroy the visitor logs) aren't enough?..
Now, he's once again making up his own rules on secret documents and even the very basis of Constitutional American government. Witness Dan Froomkin's - Cheney: Neither Here Nor There?, in today's Washington Post.
It seems Dick Cheney is not just ABOVE-THE-LAW, now his office is asserting that it is ABOVE EXECUTIVE ORDERS FROM THE PRESIDENT as well!!
The only explanation I can fathom is that when Bush says he "speaks to God," he really means he speaks to Cheney...
Moreover Cheney's completely delusional. Since he entered office, he's been using any excuse, including claims of "Executive Privilege" to give the once-Republican-controlled Congress a facial excuse to avoid pressure to investigate his doings. Now that a Democratic Congress isn't buying that, he's asserting he's not part of the Executive Branch, but the President is!!! (Apparently he failed Schoolhouse Rock - he was probably out torturing wild animals for fun)
HELLLLLOOOO Skeletor, earth to Cheney: you cannot avail yourself of claims of "Executive Privilege" if you AREN'T part of the Executive Branch!
This man is an outright crook. I don't care WHAT his intentions are. The fact is that evil means to achieve even the best ends are simply E V I L !
If ANY HUMAN BEING BELONGS at Guantanamo Bay, it is the man President Ford said had "terrorism fever" since 9/11: Dick Cheney. Let him share a room with Osama bin-Laden, they already share the same respect for: the most basic human rights, democracy, and just rule flowing only from the consent of those governed.
Note to Cheney: try reading Article 2, Section 1 of the US Constitution- it establishes the Office of Vice President in the Executive Branch... Oh yeah, that's right, who needs to adhere to an old and cumbersome Constitution when we have the theory of the Unitary Executive? Yup, as George W. Bush once said: If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.
In Annie Hall a young Woody Allen said it best about people like Cheney: "What an asshole...."

Well said, Keith.
This latest bizarre/insane/stupid assertion of Cheney's is the icing on the cake...
"The Vice President asserts that his office is not an “entity within the executive branch.”

Dennis Kucinich has actually introduced legislation to impeach Cheney. After this latest abomination; anything is possible. Hope springs eternal!
People like Cheney/Gonzales/Bush et al are more of a credible threat to our democractic republic than the obvious terrorists like Bin Laden and his ilk.
Agreed Nick!
Thanks for the visit!
