Cheney's peculiar view of government

The other day we learned of the schizophrenic idea that the Vice President thinks his office is not subject to rules which govern either the Executive or Legislative branch. By now you may have heard of the WaPo's ongoing four-part series about our illustrious Vice President. Part Two was published today. If you haven't got the time to read it right now, Dan Froomkin has picked out highlights (or lowlights) from the first two stories for you, all the while saying it has to be read in full for a real understanding of Cheney's role in this Administration.

So far it appears that Cheney's been Regent to Bush's Dauphin.

I don't agree; I don't think he's the regent to the Dauphin. I think he's Cardinal Richelieu to Dubya's Louis XIII - he's channeling the original eminence grise.
