Who's running this country? Oh, him.

From today's New York Times regarding Goss' appointment as CIA Director:

"Democratic Congressional officials who have been involved in intelligence say they believe that Mr. Goss is now close to Vice President Dick Cheney, and they say there have been times when their impression was that Mr. Goss was unwilling to pursue matters that could cause him problems with the vice president's office."

Have we EVER had a vice president who seemingly has more control over the U.S. government than even the president? Is this not scary, or what?
