Kinda like a deep sea creature that looks like it's cornered then suddenly disappears in a cloud of ink....
From Kagro X at Daily Kos:
How exactly is a letter saying the Archivist has no authority to make the OVP comply with this executive order "throwing in the towel?" Did someone in the White House tell Allen that, and so he just wrote it down? Did they just "Healthy Forest" us here? "We're throwing in the towel! Except for the part about the towel. And throwing it."
But wait! Here is Shadowy Dick lurking in the White House and talking about the executive duties of the VP!
*GASP* And here is proof that Shadowy Dick lets spies run rampant through his office!
Steve Bates of The Yellow Doggerel Democrat has the links to the Washington Post's expose on Shadowy Dick's takeover of all branches of the Bush administration. The man has obviously been lusting after absolute power for years and Georgie was too stupid to block his power grab.
Just what the hell has been going on in Shadowy Dick's office? Has he forgotten he works for us? He's an EMPLOYEE of the government?
Of course not. He thinks he is owed this power after having to wait so long to get his hands on it...
Update: Defunding the Dick:
The Democrats are going to call Dick Cheney’s bluff this coming Thursday by using his own logic to justify cutting of funds to his offices, according to Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) who joined Keith Olbermann on Tuesday’s “Countdown.” Emanuel points out that defunding the Vice President’s office would save American taxpayers some $4.5 million dollars. And we know George Bush never met a tax cut he didn’t like, right?

He is still claiming weirdo fourth branch authority, I don't understand how anybody parsed this statement to be a concession. Cheney is digging in, and he's obviously thought about this ahead of time because he created the weirdo language months ago.
That doesn't mean he's going to win, but he wants to force it to an impeachment, and expects the house to back down in that case.
"That doesn't mean he's going to win, but he wants to force it to an impeachment, and expects the house to back down in that case." Do you really think he's forcing a backdown by the Congress? I think if the impeachment ball starts rolling, citizens are angry enough to keep it going to the bitter end...
