Cheneys Join (McLean, VA) Neighborhood

[sabra]

Source: McLean Connections

McLean can add another name to its list of resident celebrities. With the end of the Bush administration, former Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, have moved into their house on Chain Bridge Road, just outside the Langley CIA headquarters.

The property was purchased in January of 2000, shortly after Cheney took office, for $1,350,000, according to the county tax map. The house was built last year and includes four bedrooms and nine bathrooms in about 7,300 square feet of living space. The property’s current assessed total is almost $4 million.

The Cheneys join a long roster of major political players living in McLean, including former Secretary of State Colin Powell, the Kennedy family and former Democratic National Committee chair Terry McAuliffe, currently a candidate for governor of Virginia.

There goes the neighborhood!

I'd have to move. The smell would be overwhelming!

[DFW]

10. That's what my brother said!

And he lives right near there. Poor guy.

[Uben]

23. I know how he feels...........

....I have some apartments not too far from where Bush is moving to.

[DFW]

26. I have my US residence not too far from where Bush is moving to!!

I hope he feels a pressing need to spend most of his time either clearing brush weed
at his ranch in Crawford, or else romping with Cheney and his buddies in the Persian
Gulf, and stay the hell out of Dallas.

[Kittycat]

1. Does anyone else find it curious that he's living near the CIA HQ?

Fucking traitor needs to be jailed.

[woodsprite]

7. Why does he feel the need to stay close to CIA HQ? n/t

[The Hope Mobile]

9. My thoughts exactly.

[DCKit]

11. Not curious.

Just waiting for an executive order declaring him banned from ever visiting the CIA.

Then again, the guy who destroyed one of their most important operations and blamed THEM for the "bad intelligence" he ginned up probably isn't exactly welcome.

If I were CIA, I'd be looking at ways of seriously fucking up his shit, and the proximity is just too damn tempting. Talk about dangling red meat at a starving beast.

[jdporter]

15. It's not curious at all

The simple fact is that Langley, Virginia, is a very upscale neighborhood.
It's one of only a handful of places where one can have a beautiful multi-acre estate with gobs of charm and privacy, yet be only a few minutes from downtown DC. It is precisely why statesmen, presidential families, etc., choose to live there.
Proximity to a certain agency's headquarters is irrelevant.
Say what you will about Cheney or his McMansion... he's only doing what top-drawer DC interlopers have been doing for decades.

[Alcibiades]

19. Don't they have upscale neighborhoods in Wyoming?

You can tell who's a DC pol and who's not by where they go AFTER they lose an election:

Carter: Plains, GA.
Liddy Dole: DC
Cheney: Langley, which is to say, DC.

33. Cheney Spent The Time Before The 200 Election in Texas

Cheney spent most of his time before the 2000 election living in Texas. He only re-established a Wyoming residence so he could constitutionally qualify to be sworn in as Vice President. Had Cheney remained a Texas resident, his installation as Vice President would have been unconstitutional.

[Kittycat]

28. Sticking up for ol' Cheney - eh?

After all he's done, there should be a retraining order keeping him from being anywhere near the CIA, FBI or another government institution - unless he's in cuffs.

BTW - Welcome to DU :rofl:

[liberal N proud]

2. Is he going to have that neighborhood scrubbed from google maps?

Why doesn't he just go back to Wyoming and hibernate?

[Gormy Cuss]

3. Cheney probably isn't staying there-- old habits die hard.

For the last eight years he spent most of his time in an undisclosed location.

[AndyA]

4. Ugly house. Suits his owner.

I hope he enjoys it until he has to report to prison.

[AlbertCat]

6. Ugly house. Suits his owner.

Isn't it? Looks like a stable.
No ornament...white....plain....uninspired....gated...

Perfect!

[CJCRANE]

5. Four bedrooms....NINE bathrooms...?

:shrug:

[AlbertCat]

8. Four bedrooms....NINE bathrooms...?

And that's it! No kitchen, den, family room, dining room, hallway, foyer....

just the bedrooms in the center surrounded by bathrooms....

Again....perfect.
:yoiks:

[AndyA]

16. Dickie has that incontinence problem, you know.

Always has to have access to a potty. :rofl:

[DU9598]

12. Just confirms he is still full of crap

[DCKit]

13. For entertaining. Dog knows who'd want to go to one of his parties, though.

When children and puppies begin to disappear in Northern VA, at least we'll know where to look.

[yy4me]

17. My mind is going places it should not. 9? Proves he's full of it.n/t

[mitchum]

27. Well, he is full of shit...

the nine bathrooms are necessary

[ps1074]

14. LOL Expect to see protesters there tomorrow

eom

[irish.lambchop]

18. Is that '1126' on the gate post?

Then I think a 'Welcome to the Neighborhood' gift is in order for 1126 Chain Bridge Road.

[Binka]

30. Chain Gang Road Would Be More Apt For This Mafia Criminal n/t

[cosmicdot]

20. "purchased in January of 2000 ...

... shortly after Cheney took office"

uh, what office?

they stole the election in Nov./Dec. 2000

if 1126 is the number ... this is info zillow has on that address

[jdporter]

22. yeah...

What part of the word "took" don't you understand?

[mikelgb]

21. guess you need 9 johns when you have that big pile of shit around

interesting that it is right up the CIA's ass and was built last year...

[specimenfred1984]

24. This castle in Transilvania wasn't available

[sakabatou]

29. Neck bolts were also out

[santamargarita]

25. War Criminals and Child Molesters drive down property values

That house looks like a Nazi Prison Camp, perfect choice.

[arcadian]

31. Old news. And I beat Mike DiCicco with the pic

32. Coincidentally, a "sinkhole" of sorts has opened up next to the house.

Flames were seen licking about the perimeter, and a mysterious pitchfork was found near the entrance.

[gauguin57]

34. How can one get a dog to take a dump on that lawn with that big gate up there?

Because the Cheney's lawn needs to be FILLED with dog shit every damned day!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

35. If was going to spend a few million on a house it would at least be attractive.

[riverdeep]

36. It's easy to find where Cheney is staying,

just look up at the sky, if you see this, he's near:



Anyway, with any luck, this is what his real home will look like:

[MetaTrope]

37. Is this where the mine shaft from Joe Biden's basement leads?
