Dick Cheney's new house. Ugly as shit.
Architecturally dull and unimaginative.

128. Good call - that was my very first impression, too...
...although many old barracks buildings are being converted into residential/office space and are, quite frankly, really nice:



Of course, that ONLY applies to AUTHENTIC Army garrison architecture, not to wanna-be shit like Crashcart's new "undisclosed location"

124. Someone seemed to Care: Three Texas voters have sued to block Gov. George W. Bush within hours


Texans challenge Cheney's residency status

DALLAS (AP) — Three Texas voters have sued to block Gov. George W. Bush from possibly becoming president by challenging running mate Dick Cheney's Wyoming residency status. The lawsuit was filed hours after a similar lawsuit was dismissed in Florida.

The suit filed Monday claims Cheney is a resident of Texas and that he and Bush, therefore, shouldn't be awarded the state's 32 electoral votes. The lawsuit cites the 12th Amendment, which prohibits the president and vice president from living in the same state.

''Someone cannot be a resident of two states simultaneously,'' said Bill Berenson, the Fort Worth attorney representing three Dallas County residents who are suing Bush and Cheney. ''If Mr. Cheney wanted to run for political office in Wyoming he would be prohibited from doing so. Some of Wyoming's statutes state that.''

Cheney lived in Texas until he changed his voting registration to Teton County, Wyo., on July 21. He or his wife has owned a home there since 1993. Cheney also has a home in McLean, Va.

Last week, Cheney put his Highland Park home on the market for $3.1 million, Berenson said.

A call to the Bush-Cheney campaign was not immediately returned.

A lawsuit filed in last week in Florida that made similar claims about Cheney was dismissed on Monday. Berenson said the Dallas County lawsuit was filed because the merit of the basic claim must be sought by residents in the county where Cheney resides.

The suit claims that Cheney holds a Texas driver's license listing his Highland Park address and that, on Feb. 22, he changed his personal records at the Texas Department of Public Safety and again listed the Dallas address.

78. No, it was not illegal. They would not have been able to accept Texas's electoral votes.
The false residence in Wyoming was set up to allow them to get Texas's electoral votes, but it is perfectly legal for a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate to come from the same state. It would be stupid, but they were almost dumb enough not to catch it.

159. You're right ... there's a lot of confusion about this.
Edited on Sat Jan-03-09 04:08 PM by eppur_se_muova
Wiki appears to have it wrong in one entry:

Residency limitations

The Constitution also prohibits electors from voting for both a presidential and vice presidential candidate from the same state as themselves. In theory, this might deny a vice presidential candidate with the most electoral votes the absolute majority required to secure election, even if the presidential candidate is elected, and place the vice presidential election in the hands of the Senate. In practice, this is rarely an issue, as parties avoid nominating tickets containing two candidates from the same state. In one notable case, former Wyoming congressman Dick Cheney had moved to Texas to serve as CEO of Halliburton Company, but reclaimed residency at his Wyoming home before accepting the 2000 Republican nomination for Vice President, alongside presidential nominee and Texas governor George W. Bush.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States


But the real limitation is found in the Twelfth Amendment:

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves;...


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution


Snope clarifies the situation:

They weren't stupid to miss this, they just don't give a shit about no stinkin' Constitution.

Kind of strange though.. the aerial shot doesn't show his house, only the neighbor's houses..

You'd think with the money George and Dick have, they'd buy waterfront property. (Bush's place in Dallas isn't on a lake or anything either)..

80. Read "Angler,"
the brilliant book about Cheney in the Vice Presidency, and you'll learn that Cheney had his house removed from any kind of map, like google earth.

You really think Cheney would have had any residence of his where anyone could find it?

Besides, that house was sold maybe seven years ago. This is old stuff.

94. Wrong.
You are thinking of 1 Observatory Circle. His house on Chain Bridge Road doesn't show up because it was a vacant lot for a long time. He had the old house torn down and this new house built.

123. No, I am not thinking of a DC residence.
A lifetime in the Washington area enables me not to confuse DC and Virginia.

He currently dwells in the Naval Observatory house - that's One Observatory Circle - that's the official residence of Vice Presidents. He has no house in McLean, not any more.

And it wasn't on Chain Bridge Road - it was on a street that sounded a lot like Chain Bridge Road, which is a major thoroughfare here, but the name wasn't famliar to me. I mapquested it and it was a tiny street, far from Chain Bridge.

Read "Angler," by Bart Gellman. The house is written about quite extensively. The house still stands.

Because Fairfax county tax records would prove you wrong.

157. Well,
the tax records are in no way probative. The Observatory Circle address leads you to think that the owner of some residence is Dick Cheney? Really? Did you know that clicking on the link to the Fairfax Country tax records that is withn the link you so kindly provided me above leads to a blank page?

I think you've been suckered.

And the dailykos article that was referred to quotes a caterer who claims he worked at the Cheney residence.

I say it's all nonsense, and that house - well, I don't know who it is, but someone's playing tricks with "tax records."

You might want to do better research than believing what you read online. The Cheney residence was sold, and they have not built a new one here - one place they really don't want to be after January 20 is in the DC area.

This has been, though, entertaining.

You got a link for your claims? And don't just say, "Go read 'The Angler' By Whoever" One, I took those pictures. The day I took the first set of pictures I asked a gardener working at the property across the street if he knew who was building the house. He said, "The Vice-President". Two, the building permit similarly had the owner's information, "taped over". Three, there is this article in the Post that says that Dick Cheney will be moving to Mclean, here:

"Cheney tore down the previous house, we were told, but left the lot vacant -- much to the consternation of the exceptionally well-heeled neighbors -- when he moved into public housing at the Naval Observatory off Massachusetts Avenue NW.

The area is close enough to the CIA that Cheney could easily wander over from time to time to make sure they're getting the real intelligence on Iran, North Korea and various nuclear wannabes. (We agreed to a request from Cheney's office not to provide an exact location for the new manse.)
"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/29/AR2008012903154.html


It's OK we all make mistakes, you clearly just don't know enough about the situation to speak from an informed point of view. Do a little research next time.

178. Oh, you're a real joker
So, when you put together the story from some caterer, as reported by kos, and then you claim some gardener as a reliable and authoritative source, you believe all that.

And, sure, "taped-over" data can always be interpreted to read "Dick Cheney."

And, really, quoting an Al Kamen article from a year ago? Are you serious? How welcome do you think Cheney is at the CIA these days? Didn't you read that line about wandering over to the CIA as the joke it is? Oh, honey, you're really naive.

Use your head, and stop believing all these specious sources. A gardener and a caterer?

I'm gonna let you go now, because this now smacks of a cat and catnip. You just need to get some real sources and, I might add, consider this: exactly what kind of power will Cheney wield in DC after January 20? Do you really think he's anyone people will want to associate with?

That's all right - once you get the hang of it, you'll be fine.

Happy New Year.

Because that is the only way to access the house, via that driveway. I think the "front" door is where that carport extension is located.

111. It looks like the entrance is on the left, sideways to the road.
The end facing the road looks like a bunker - very few windows. I'll bet that the opposite side - the side facing away from the road - has a patio and lots of windows.

It's an ugly, sterile-looking house built by an ugly person.

The most unimpressive buildings are usually the ones with ulterior motives. Simply plain, with no identifying marks per say. It looks almost prefabricated in fact. Regardless, being 3 football fields from the CIA begs the question: What happens to someone who starts to dig between the two buildings?

122. Word is that
they're heading straight to Wyoming, to a big welcoming party. I read about it a couple of weeks ago, how happy they are to be returning to the old friends.

I just want them the hell out of my air space. They're fifteen minutes from here right now, and that's too damn close.

And, yes, to answer your question, they sold that house after he became Vice President. Within the first year, if I recall correctly. It's written about quite extensively in "Angler," the absolutely brilliant dissection of the Cheney monarchy by Bart Gellman. I highly recommend it. When the whip comes down, "Angler" will be the blueprint for the prosecutors.

Thank you.

I don't know whose house that is, but I strongly urge you to read "Angler," and all about the Cheney's McLean house, where they resided before he became Vice President, and which they sold shortly after he took office.

So, in advance, thanks for the link.

And you don't consider the Washington Post to be a reliable source? Damn, you really are cuckoo. You just can't admit that you are completely wrong. Sounds like a personality flaw on your part. You need to fix that.

But go ahead get everybody to buy "Angler", you really do seem to love that book for some reason. You have recommended it in nearly every post you've made.

Edit: What exactly is he claiming in the book? Cite exact quotations, page numbers and the authors notes on that particular subject. From reading your posts, I wouldn't be surprised if you completely misunderstood the author's intent.

Holy shit, that piece of crap is new? Someone built that on purpose? Google Maps shows a freshly cleared lot. The lot looks small compared to the rest. Got to feel the neighbors have a legit gripe with the Zoning board, with that POS undermining their home values.

And to pre-emptively answer any questions, take your pick, Dickhead or that ugly pile of lumber, they both are polluting the neighborhood.

The architect that is. The two "wings" that jut forward are in the style of colonial Virginia outbuildings, as are the chimneys. I guess the main part is supposed to be a styled in the plantation manors of that era. It's all horribly wrong though. It should be brick. It's all brick in Virginia.

151. White bodies are burned on the RIGHT side...
...the other races on the left. Don't ask where the ashes go...let's just say that nobody will notice a few more tons on the ground in a certain Southern state.

121. Well, if I wanted to send the message that I'm a total coward
but you can't get me because I'm hiding behind two enormous double-balled (although rather stubby) pricks, I'd design something like that. Kudos to the architects who did their job well.

126. This house gives me the same feeling as when I first saw
the web site of this administration in 2001 - that you can see there's something wrong, just by the look of it.

The word ugly in the subject line didn't quite prepare me for the unspeakable hideousness of that monstrosity. It looks like a prison. Or a dirty factory.

He's not wealthy enough to hire somebody with a modicum of good taste to design his home?

138. It wouldn't look as bad if it had some landscaping, but big
Dick Cheney probably can't stand trees and plants.

He needs a clear shot at the bald eagles and other endangered species he hunts.

150. Sweet Sirius is stirring in his urn ..
Another Cheney lawn to poop in! The Dallas (Highland Park) Chez-Cheney, where Sweet Sirius regularly pooped, is uglier than the new Wyoming digs. If any of you Dallas dwellers want to see the erstwhile, really ugly Chez-Cheney, it is on the northeast corner of Euclid and Fairfield .. about 100 yards west of the Highland Park library.


Sweet Sirius
He loved to poop in Cheney's yard.
