Is Count Dracula on Cheney's Visitors List?

May 30, 2007 (LPAC)--You'll just have to keep guessing who came to dinner at Dick Cheney's Vice Presidential residence at the Naval Observatory. According to a September 2006 letter from Cheney's lawyer to the Secret Service, just posted by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington, D.C., Cheney believes anything he does is covered by the Presidential Records Act. On those grounds, Cheney's lawyer ordered the U.S. Secret Service to purge its records of all information on who visits Cheney in his official residence, within a month. Who visits Cheney is "subject to the exclusive ownership, custody and control of the Office of the Vice President," and that does not include the Secret Service.

The letter was released to CREW by the Justice Department on May 25, pursuant to CREW's lawsuit seeking the identities of conservative "religious" leaders visiting the VP's home. Which raises the question: Who is Cheney trying to protect?

Actually, rumors have been circulating that Count Dracula has been flying in to visit Cheney. Sources report that the real reason for the law suit is to get the visitors list to make sure he is not. On the other hand, the same sources say that if it turns out that Dracula is visiting Cheney, the objective of the suit is to determine if he is one of Cheney's daughters.
