Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel.

• Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) said he plans to propose next week, as part of a spending bill for executive operations, a measure to place a hold on funds for Cheney's office and official home until he clarifies to which branch of the government he belongs. Emanuel acknowledged that the proposal is just a stunt, but he said that if Cheney is not part of the executive branch, he should not receive its funds. "As we say in Chicago, follow the money," he said.

Cheney is trying to assert that he is not obliged to give up governmental records because the Office of the Vice President of the United States is somehow not part of the the Executive branch. This guy makes Spiro Agnew look good as a veep.
