Old news, but I'm still just as dumbfounded. I seriously don't remember this from Civics class in high school:

Rahm Emanuel. However, there was also this bit from
The Raw Story:
At a press briefing yesterday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino said that Cheney's assertion that he operates outside of the executive branch of government was "an interesting constitutional question that people can debate" and a "non-issue."
On Thursday, Emanuel suggested that if Cheney feels his office is not 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."
In short, Mr. Emanuel's proposing legislation to cut off funding to the Vice President's office. Yup, yup. I think I kinda might like this guy. Ha... Any thoughts on the likelihood of this actually ending in success?
