Back in the saddle again

By Capt. Fogg

Well, back in the Executive Branch at least.

"Two senior Republican officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the rationale had been the view of the vice president’s lawyers, not Cheney himself," says The Politico.

Nice try Uncle Snarley; no lawyer is that dumb, unless it's one of those faith-based kind we find around the white house these days. You're going to have to take that subpoena and answer some questions or come up with another reason to claim you're above and beyond accountability for ignoring the constitution. I can't wait to hear what it is, but here are some possibilities:

• He's not an American.
• He's not human.
• He forgot about the Constitution
• Clinton made him do it.

I'm sure he'll have something equally as creative.
