CHENEY Can't Remember His Oath Of Office
How Cheney Remembers His Oath

Here's how he recounts it in his interview yesterday:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/05/10/interview_with_fmr_vice_president_cheney_96430.html

Now, if you'd look at it from the perspective of a senior government official, somebody like myself, who stood up and took the oath of office on January 20th of ‘01 and raised their right hand and said we're going to protect and defend the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, this was exactly, exactly what was needed to do it.

Here's the actual oath:
http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgovernment/a/oaths_of_office_2.htm

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully

and he still uses it frequently.

2. It's just a Goddamn piece of paper.
Or so I'm told. I guess that lets me out of the oath I took before boot camp.

Nah, I think I'll keep it.
