This is getting ridiculous. First Cheney exempts himself rom the Executive Branch, and now Bush says he isn't part of it either? Or at least he's saying that rules made for the Executive Branch do not apply to himself or Cheney. Who does that leave, the housekeeping staff at the White House? This is just bizarre. And no, this is not from The Onion, it is from Raw Story:

"The White House said Friday that, like Vice President Dick Cheney's office, President Bush's office is exempt from a presidential order requiring government agencies that handle classified national security information to submit to oversight by an independent federal watchdog," the Los Angeles Times will report Saturday, RAW STORY has learned.
