Paradix or Dickundrum: The unfortunate conflations of Dick Cheney with paradox and conundrum.  Any politico apparently openly confessing to the application of extrajudicial and (therefore) illogical measures to any alleged war criminal or terrorist or other similar persons.  The obvious corollary being that application of same disproves the very argument presented by said proponent by virtue of implication of similar war crimes or other extrajudicial measure.  QED.

FOM: Cheney's Costly Boast, It Came from the Veep and Cheney Conundrum

Rollover Authority

Rollover Authority: (1) The tacit acceptance of the authority of a public official due to a previous position of authority in government, administration, politics, bureaucracy and the like - even though their current office confers no valid governing authority (such as the Vice President). (2) The tacit acceptance of the authority of said official for being the first in the line of succession - even though their current office confers no valid governing authority.

This term arose out of Chris Matthew's interesting speculation(s) on the fact that former Vice President Dick Cheney had no real authority giving orders to the CIA. It is remembered that Mr. Cheney was a former Secretary of Defense (17th) and a minority whip and that memories of this may have conferred some authority upon him through 'loyalty creep' (a suggested form of Mission Creep).
