"The U.S. has become precisely the kind of surveillance state that we were always told was the hallmark of tyrannical societies, with literally no limits on the government's ability or willingness to spy on its own citizens and to maintain vast dossiers on those activities."

Branches of Government

June 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Dick Cheney Traitor

Congressman Rahm Emanuel’s office just sent out a nifty chart illustrating Veep Cheney’s latest. As you may have heard by now, Cheney reportedly exempted his own office from the presidential order establishing government-wide procedures for the guarding of classified national security info. He reportedly did this by asserting that his office is not an “entity within the executive branch.”

That inspired the following from Rahm’s office:

Rahm’s statement:

“Today, we discovered that everything we learned in U.S. government class was wrong. Evidently, the Vice President does not consider himself a part of the executive branch, and therefore believes he can obstruct meaningful oversight and avoid being held accountable. If the Vice President truly believes he is not a part of the executive branch, he should return the salary the American taxpayers have been paying him since January 2001, and move out of the home for which they are footing the bill.”
