As for Big Dick's assertion that he is exempt from oversight and reporting, the Chimperor is backing him up. (And so's their little pal Gonzo who
shelved a request to look into the Dick's claims back in January. See my lengthier post on Cheney this morning to see where Gonzo fits into the Big Dick's schemes, evidence of why Bush will never fire the little piece of turd - he's Cheney's boy as much - and maybe more - as Dubya's. Ashcroft had a mind of his own, albeit a weird one. Gonzo isn't even writing his own opinions. At least some of them are coming from Cheney's office. The cartoons will have to start showing Cheney as the pupeteer with a marionette of George in one hand and Gonzo in the other.)
The White House said Friday that, like Vice President Dick Cheney's office, President Bush's office is not allowing an independent federal watchdog to oversee its handling of classified national security information.
An executive order that Bush issued in March 2003 — amending an existing order — requires all government agencies that are part of the executive branch to submit to oversight. Although it doesn't specifically say so, Bush's order was not meant to apply to the vice president's office or the president's office, a White House spokesman said.

With a straight face, no doubt.
