Cheney's Needs on the Road: What, No NPR?

WASHINGTON, March 23 — Vice President Dick Cheney may be a rock star only to his most ardent Republican supporters, but he has on-the-road demands just like the Rolling Stones. Still, Mr. Cheney appears easier to please than Mick Jagger or Keith Richards.

Dick Cheney's Suite Demands (thesmokinggun.com) At least that was the evidence from "Vice Presidential Downtime Requirements," the heading of a document posted Thursday on the Smoking Gun Web site and confirmed as authentic by Mr. Cheney's office.

The document listed 13 requirements. Among them were these: All televisions sets in Mr. Cheney's hotel suite should be tuned to Fox News, all lights should be on, and the thermostat set at 68 degrees. Mr. Cheney should have a queen- or king-size bed, a desk with a chair, a private bathroom, a container for ice, a microwave oven and a coffee pot, with decaf brewed before arrival.

The vice president should also have four cans of caffeine-free Diet Sprite and four to six bottles of water. He must have the hotel restaurant menu, with a copy faxed ahead to his advance office. If his wife is with him, she should have two bottles of sparkling water, either Calistoga or Perrier.

1. Yup - that confirms it - Cheney's an idiot

Faux ? Faux !
The vice president of this country depends on Faux for his news ???!!!
Isn't that some kind of impeachable offense?
Gross error in judgement ? Criminal malfeasance? Brain damage?

On a related note:
I do see they scubbed the Xtra Large Box od Depends off the VP's rider.
Don't want the old geezer to appear weak & incontinent.
