there ya go....people are dying in the largest natural disaster and

cheney is "mansion shopping"


that says it all......

ST. MICHAELS, Md. -- They´ve grown used to having a secretary of defense in their midst -- the way his weekend estate is tucked behind a bend in the road, how he takes casual walks tailed by dark SUVs. Now, residents of this Eastern Shore retreat are preparing for someone even bigger to buy a house down the road: the vice president.

"I´d heard it was going to close either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week," Carroll Hurley, a funeral home owner, said Saturday, seated with his breakfast gang at the Carpenter Street saloon and restaurant.

Whether it´s true -- that Dick and Lynne Cheney are buying an estate here -- could not be confirmed. Those closest to the deal -- Cheney´s office, the purported sellers, the listing agent -- aren´t talking. Hurley admits he´s not certain: "All I have is hearsay. It wouldn´t stand up in court."

Still, a nosy visit here leaves a person with one of two possibilities: Either the Cheneys are coming or a lot of people have bad information. Police Chief Ed Henry -- who breakfasted along with Hurley -- even referred to the lot in question as "Cheney´s house."

The house, listed at $2.9 million, backs up in spectacular fashion to an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay. "Right out by Rumsfeld´s," said Charles Mangold Sr., whose Benson & Mangold agency brokers high-end estates in the area. "It´s under contract, but he hasn´t settled yet."

1. Oh my word.

Oh. My. Word.

[TwentyFive]

37. "Cheney had the lamb," said the article. Double entendre?

Did Cheney really HAVE the lamb? Hmm... Wonder what the other people in the restaurant thought.

Well, at least lamb has alot of artery clogging fat, which is comforting to know.

2. Good. He can let some evacuees live there.

3. These people HAVE NO SHAME.

They truly have no conscience. They are sub-human.

[mom cat]

4. Condi buying shoes, Cheney buying an estate... The tough go shopping.

[maddiejoan]

32. They must have made quite a haul on this one.

Maybe it'll be like in the movie Goodfellas. Robert DeNiro warns them not to spend the money too obviously and they end up in a freezer truck.

[Imagevision]

54. Bush plays guitar, Condi shoe shopping-Cheney estate shopping

while many hundreds died and continue to die, this should be chronicalized with video-photo's when investigations begin to paint a more clearer picture regarding just what this administration was doing before and the aftermath of Katrina -- also Cheney's statement that Kerry won't protect you, this administration will!"

5. The bourgeoise is alive & well. Olbermann asked where Cheney's been.

I just e-mailed him this clip.

[joanne]

8. I'm not aware of anyone else in the media asking where Crashcart has been

but Aaron Brown might bring this up if he is aware.

[July]

49. Has Cheney made ANY public statement yet? nt

[elare]

6. What a heartless,

miserable, old fuck.

[stevedeshazer]

7. He's running for President or something.

These aren't the actions of someone who is planning on retirement in three years.

[txindy]

10. They're the actions of someone planning to make a killing in business

And very soon. Halliburton has already gotten one no-bid contract to rebuild in NO. More will be on the way, I'm sure.

[electron_blue]

30. yep

[Bumblebee]

33. or someone about to call it quits...

[PinkyisBlue]

35. Billions are Missing

Don't forget that several billion dollars earmarked for Iraq reconstruction projects and contract payments are unaccounted for.

Oops, we just located 2.9 million dollars of it.

[Bluebear]

42. :)

[Bumblebee]

34. Why not? What if he is planning to retire there, next to Rummy?

They both are definitely ripe for it, agewise and healthwise.

[Blue_Roses]

47. yeah, right

his campaign will need more than a pacemaker to get it going.

[pitohui]

9. it coulda been worse

he coulda been shopping for shoes

[despairing optimist]

11. The Swamp Thing Finally Goes Home Again

Why, $2.9 million is chump change to him. Why such a cheap pad? I guess it's only temporary until he and Lynne move into New Orleans now that the ground has been broken down there. The 17th Street Canal will probably run through their living room like that Frank Lloyd Wright house in Pennsylvania, Falling Water. Too bad that name is already taken.

[CC]

12. Well so he is making one

of his favorite undisclosed locations another home. :puke: Guess he doesn't want to have to be driven so far to go hunting.

[FormerRepublican]

13. No problem.

All we have to do is exercise the new powers the Supreme Court has given us, get his new house condemned so a shopping mall can be built, and buy ol' Dick a house in New Orleans. He's in luck - it's a buyer's market! I'm sure we can find plenty of people who are willing to sell 'ol Dick a house, and the vast majority of Americans would be more than happy to help him move in. Hey, they got the levee fixed, and I'm sure he won't mind just a bit of a mess - after all, plenty of his Halliburton pals will be around. And dead bodies laying around are nothing new for him.

I've heard they have a nice house in the 9th ward that's just perfect for him.

[cthrumatrix]

14. tell america...this is their VP

[NVMojo]

15. elitist pigs ...

[FreedomAngel82]

48. Oh wait

I thought that was John Kerry?

:sarcasm:

[Virginian]

16. But Halliburton doesn't have an office there.

Why is he buying on the east coast? He needs togo back to Wyoming or Texas or wherever he say he is from. The east coast doesn't want him.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. St Michaels is on MD's eastern shore

No stranger to hurricanes, especially in the last few years.

[tinrobot]

18. Getting ready to "retire" for health reasons.

That way, chimp can appoint his successor in time for the next "election".

[Sparkly]

19. Mr. "Other Priorities."

Are these people insane?!? Were they unaware? Did they figure it wouldn't happen, or didn't matter?!

(Plus, I do NOT want that jerk and his evil wife in my state!)

[MADem]

20. Global warming could hit the Chesapeake, too, pal!!

nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. People still haven't recovered from Izobel...2 years ago.

Fertilizer runoff (among other things) is killing the fish, crab, and oyster industries. I wonder if he'll start to give a flying fuck if he has property there.

[novak goes postal]

21. How Disgusting these people are... Let them eat cake...Oh so sorry

we have ho cake !!!

[glitch]

23. It just keeps on coming doesn't it.

Eating cake, airplaying guitars, buying luxury second homes. Tra la la. Maybe we should all become thieving looting murdering sociopaths and live happily ever after.
Nah, having a soul is better.

[bushisanidiot]

24. Oh, give the old fart a break. He has to have somewhere to store the

butt-loads of cash flowing in from his hallilburton $tock...

he probably was so happy that halliburton got the cleanup job for katrina, that he peed his pants!!

[Marr]

25. He's 'addressing housing needs during the aftermath of Katrina'.

And Rice was 'reviewing sources of clothing before Katrina even hit'.

They are so responsible!

[ellenfl]

i know the perfect house-warming gift!

a cat 5 hurricane right after he closes the deal. too bad the water's too cold there.

ellen fl

[Maestro]

26. How totally disgusting!

These people have no shame. Callous beyond words! Hey Cheney, Cheney off!

[ignatius 2]

27. And it is near Rumsfeld so they can have bar-bee-cues together and finish

plans on how to destroy the world.

[smoogatz]

28. Oh, man--St. Michaels used to be a nice little town.

Great place to stop for blue crabs and beer. Don't know if I could handle all the bad, neo-con juju that's going to be hanging over it, now that Dick and Rummy are living there. Icky.

[klook]

29. Hope the place is in a flood plain.

:grr:

[Applan]

31. Ah yes Dick has done very well these last few years

very well indeed

[Iris]

36. Once again, "let them eat cake!"

let them buy a manion
let them buy new shoes
let them play golf

[go west young man]

38. Hey just because the peasants are literally in the streets...

you cant expect Queen Isabella/Imelada Marcos/Dick Cheney to give up thier riches! Those Halliburton stock dividends have to be used for something! Whats the point of a kickback if you can't spend it on lavish things you dont really need while people go homeless on your watch!

[gauguin57]

39. Gee, Dick and Lynne... don't let the rotting corpses in NOLA stop you

from house-hunting. We wouldn't dream of troubling you, you worthless excuses for human beings.

[aquart]

40. Where does it say ANYONE SAW CHENEY last week? this week?

The article reads, honestly, like a perfect PR plant if you want to give the impression that someone who isn't around, is.

[catmandu57]

53. Right, where are the pictures?

I hear old snarlin dick is here, there, everywhere, but, no pictures. How can we be sure that it isn't a body double, and the real bloodsucker isn't either dead or next to it in some undisclosed location?
I want pictures!

[swimboy]

55. I heard he's in hospital after his body rejected Chandra Levy's heart.

[Dunvegan]

41. Okay...doesn't mean he's still house hunting today...

...but where the hell IS he?

[PurpleChez]

43. Ceaucescu the whole bunch of them

[Spike from MN]

44. Damn. I thought he was having lunch with Rehnquist.

Just wishful thinking on my part I guess.

[Freedomfried]

45. Good one Spike!

Wish those 2 were eating cinders with their chief downstairs.

[FreedomAngel82]

46. What a disgrace

*sigh* Imagine what the rightwingers would've said if this was Edwards.

[morffin]

50. There goes the neighborgood

These gangsters have such a tight control on the media and the message that they dont even try to hide their disgusting behaviour.

Playing Golf......going to a musical comedy.......mansion shopping....all while one of the great cities in the world is awash in corpes.

These people are beyond vile.

[swimboy]

51. Dark Mark sighted above St. Michael's MD.

Rumors of death eaters and dementors add to national malaise.

[Tace]

52. This Is Likely A Good Time To Negotiate A Good Price On Coastal Propery

Dick bought the farm.

[terrya]

56. And the Vice President's mansion isn't good enough for him??

Fuck him. Fuck him and his greed.
