Dick Cheney has apparently won the political staring/pissing contest to keep every single thing he's ever done for the past eight years a secret.
Some of the choicest fatalistic cuts:
“He has managed to stonewall everyone,” said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “I’m not sure there’s anything we can do.”
Sweet.
Waxman said that despite Cheney’s turning this administration into “one of the most secretive in history,” there’s not much he or anyone else can do because the administration has only a few more months left in office.
Awesome.
“The vice president is sort of a weird duck in the sense that you do have some duties that are executive and some [that] are legislative,” said Cheney. “In terms of accountability, I’m accountable to [President George W. Bush].”
And this, my very favorite:
Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, who has battled with OVP to release more information, thinks [this fucking bullshit will end when Cheney leaves office].
Here's my question - How can this not piss you off? Like no. Seriously. That's not meant to be rhetorical.
How can you look at that and just shrug your shoulders? Are there people in this country who legitimately believe that the VICE FUCKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED GODDAMN STATES OF SHITPISSWHORESTAIN AMERICA should be allowed to conduct literally all of his business in a toxic airborne event* of complete secrecy?
Forgive me, but I believe all these people should be herded up and sent to Mexico. We'll trade them for people who actually give a shit about having the chance to live in this country and vote and give a flying fuck about things that don't happen outside the pages of In Style or Sports Illustrated.
Yeah. I think that's all I've got.

of all the chickenshit nonsense...
someone needs to put their career on the line and just subpoena the motherfucker. how hard can this be?
arrest him, or something.
seriously, this isn't what i'd call top-notch analysis of the situation, but the first thing that came to my mind is "the democrats are total fucking pussies."
the quote that angers me most is the last one. The guy seems to be saying that some sort of weak moral victory in the court of public opinion makes up for cheney's egregious conduct. Has he not noticed that these guys have such a thick skin that criticism doesn't even reach their ears, much less their conscience.
They have completely isolated themselves from public opinion and the only thing they will understand is legal action.
