Another Stunning Admission From Dick Cheney

I guess Dick Cheney actually DOES know a Vice President is not a part of the legislative branch of government after all. On FoxNews, Dick Cheney was asked about VP Elect Joe Biden's claim at the Vice Presidential debate that Cheney has been the "most dangerous Vice President we've probably had in American history". In his answer Cheney tried to derisively correct Biden by saying:

"He also said that all the powers and responsibilities of the executive branch are laid out in Article I of the Constitution," Cheney said in a interview that was conducted on Friday. "Well, they're not. Article I of the Constitution is the one on the legislative branch."

First of all, lets be clear. Article I of Constitution does in fact lay out the responsibilities of the Vice President in the Senate. It reads like so.

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

But more to the point, setting Cheney's error aside, this is just another example of the hypocrisy of his previous statements on the matter. His premise now is that because Article I deals with the Legislative branch then it therefore does not concern the Vice President gives truth to his own lie that the Vice President is actually a part of both the Executive and Legislative branches of government. Now I am but a lowly blogger, but it will be interesting to see if any of the heavy hitters in the mainstream media point out this hypocrisy. Especially since he has used that particular lie to give himself cover any investigations

My early guess is that nobody will have the courage to call him out. But it certainly would be nice to be proven wrong in this instance.
