Default Cheney's Mystery Visitors

Quote:
A Sept. 13, 2006, letter from Cheney's counsel, Shannen W. Coffin, to the Secret Service that surfaced last week made clear that Cheney intends to exercise "exclusive control" of the logs showing who is visiting him or his staff at the White House compound or at the vice presidential residence at the Naval Observatory.

In the letter, Coffin reiterated Cheney's position that the vice president's office should be the sole keeper of the visitor logs and the Secret Service should not. Other administrations have relinquished the records in the face of congressional investigations.

But the Bush administration's policy puts the visitor records out of reach of the Freedom of Information Act and off-limits to reporters and interest groups trying to determine who is meeting with the vice president or his staff.

What is Cheney hiding?
Who is visiting Skeletor in his secure, undisclosed location?
That's not for you or I to know.

His cardiologist.

Maybe it's because no matter who would visit, idiots on the internet would twist the information to sound like a big, evil event. Now, since these idiots are going to do this anyway, it's much more fun to have them do it without actually knowing who the visitors are.

He's not sure. That's why he called a cardiologist.

That must be it.
We should trust our gummint completely. It is not the right of citizens of a democracy to question their gummint.

I don't know, 2pac. This all sounds like another sinister Jewish conspiracy to me.

They run the world, and now...gasp...they may be meeting with Cheney!

Only Islamists have any desire to rule the world.
