Faced with losing funds, Cheney now admits he's part of exec branch

Dick Cheney's office is abandoning a justification for keeping the vice president's secret papers out of the hands of the National Archives, while asserting a new argument for withholding them.

Officials working for Cheney had tried to claim he is separate from the executive branch, but they will no longer pursue that defense, senior administration officials tell The Politico.

The decision follows a threat by Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), the No. 3 House Democrat, to try to cut off the office's $4.8 million in executive-branch funding, and a letter from Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) asking for the reasoning behind the argument.

Dick Cheney is so silly. I wonder if anyone still takes him seriously.

This just shows the GUILT and lengths this man will go to cover up the illegal acts he and the rest of the Administration has gone to subdue the American people. Is it to help America or what? Through the years it hasn't made a lick of sense how anything Bush and Cheney has done to help America in the long run.

It is hilarious though he recants is link to the executive branch when the money kinda spells everything that this Administration stands for.

Great catch George... I missed this one... I would laugh if I wasn't so utterly disgusted!
