Central Florida paper calls on Waxman to help poor Cheney through an identity crisis.

Glad to see this.

Cheney vs. Cheney

Vice President Dick Cheney is apparently undergoing a bit of an identity crisis. Perhaps there is still time for Congress to help him find himself. During his tenure as the nation's second in command, Cheney has periodically cited "executive privilege" in defending his refusal to release documents for public review or submit to congressional requests for information.

...."He says his records - from the energy task force to the list of people entering and leaving his residence - are presidential records and, therefore, exempt from Freedom of Information requirements.

But Cheney is trying a different tack in his dealings with the National Archives and its Information Security Oversight Office. The vice president contends he doesn't have to provide the data to the National Archives' oversight office because he is not part of the executive branch."

....."But no matter how many games Cheney plays with the question of where he works, there is one unquestionable fact: He works for the American people. As hopeless as the cause may be, Waxman and others need to continue reminding him.

1. Under what circumstances can you waterboard the Veep?

Because I am sure that would clarify his mind.

2. Kakeland FL is a cesspool of ultra conservative right wing Christian fascists

...who would take any democratic party people not in groups of three or more and lynch them and drag their corpses tied to the back of 4 X 4 pickups through the streets of Lakeland and the local police would look the other way.

Henry Waxman needs to keep the pressure on Cheney regardless of what any Florida newspapers say.
