JUST an hour and a half from Washington, across the 4.3-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge, or less than 30 minutes in a government-issue Chinook helicopter, is the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the primly groomed waterside village of St. Michaels.
St. Michaels has begun to lure V.I.P.'s who, some boosters would have it, could propel it into the gilded realm of the Hamptons and Nantucket. But that will take a while. There's little for the young — just a few bars and no beaches or nightclubs — and these new householders are too circumspect and perhaps too old to be showcasing their excesses, baubles and abs.
One is Vice President Dick Cheney, 65, who paid $2.67 million last September for a house that resembles a wide, squat Mount Vernon. Another is his old friend Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, 73, who in 2003 paid $1.5 million for a brick Georgian that was last a bed-and-breakfast. Among other recognizable owners in the area are Tony Snow, President Bush's new press secretary; Joe Trippi, Howard Dean's presidential campaign manager in 2004; Nicholas Brady, President George H. W. Bush's treasury secretary; and John S. D. Eisenhower, a writer and historian and the son of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
There is a lens in the birdhouse at the driveway of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's home at St. Michaels, Md.

What's next? Will the NY Times start printing Cheney's schedule and travel routes with the best vantage points for snipers? That's about the only sacred territory they've avoided printing so far.
I wish someone with stones would go after these sons of bs.
Now it's starting to get personal ...
Tit for tat; see how they like it.
Even better, let's find out what bathhouse the NYT boys frequent!

addresses and phone numers in this thread
I see their intention as wanting to deny Cheney and Rummy use of these getaways. It's childish and petty but it will likely work.
Bad behavior, yes...however, that lens is not hidden that well.
I suspect you/they are supposed to see that one, it's most of the rest that you are not supposed to see, and likely won't see.
Need to publish the names, phone numbers and addresses of the persons writing the articles.
Tony needs to confiscate a few press passes. That would send a nice message.
Will the NY Times start printing Cheney's schedule and travel routes with the best vantage points for snipers?

Hey, don't help them out. You'll probably see that in next week's Sunday edition of the Old Gray Liar.
I think it would good reporting and in the interest of the American people if someone were to collect and report facts about the NYT such as passwords, security camera locations, bank account numbers, officers salaries, who is sleeping with who and such.
I'd like to suggest that the addresses for all the NYT senior staff be made public / online.

Hmmmm....
What do you make of this? Right after that traitor Heller claimed that he was right to cover the SWIFTS story because it was in the public interest, E.D. Hill, on Fox & Friends made a comment that aroused my curiosity. She said something like he has now made himself a public figure, he may have some secrets, and perhaps someone should publish those secrets. I have been wondering if she was just speaking a counter argument or if she was alluding to some truth.
The NY Times also failed to point out the mutated, ill-tempered sea bass in the pond on the grounds.
Do NOT post private addresses and phone numbers on Free Republic.
Let's not misplace our energy for stuff like this.
wonder what Malkin is saying about Rummy giving permission?
kind of made fools out of a few people
of course no mention whatsoever about Kofi Annen's palatial digs which at last estimate was valued around 48 million.......paid for by you and I, not purchased by him.
I'm thinking its there to keep the sparrows and starlings from nesting in the box..........
Agreed. A good reason to find out the facts before publishing.
bttt
LOL !
So what. I'm pretty sure Rummy himself didn't give permission. It was probably some lower level bureaucrat, who may well have been a Clinton holdover.

Want to smash the NY Slimes?
How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year. NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s. Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours. Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT. http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/ownership/ownership.asp When the MS Money stock home page comes up, enter NYT into the search area and hit enter and the following screen will show up re ownership of the NY Slimes stock: The New York Times Company: Ownership Information
Highlight the Mutual Fund Ownership and hit enter. If thousands of Freepers, whose mutual funds own shares of NY Slimes did the following:
We might have a lot more impact than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes. |

This was bound to happen. The premise behind the First Amendment as it applies to the press--that a vigilant watchdog is necessary, sufficient--indeed, possible--to protect against man's basest instincts--is tautologically flawed: The fox guarding the White House, if you will. Walter Lippmann, the 20th-century American columnist, wrote, "A free press is not a privilege, but an organic necessity in a great society." True in theory. True even in Lippmann's quaint mid-20th-century America, perhaps. But patently false in this postmodern era of the bubbas and the Pinches. When a free and great society is hijacked by a seditious bunch of dysfunctional, power-hungry malcontents and elitists, it will remain neither free nor great for long. When hijacked by them in the midst of asymmetric warfare, it will soon not remain at all. If President George W. Bush is serious about winning the War on Terror, he will aggressively pursue the enemy in our midst. Targeting and defeating the enemy in our midst is, by far, the more difficult task and will measure Bush's resolve and courage (and his independence from the MPRDC (mutual protection racket in DC)) more than any pretty speech, more even than 'staying the course.'

Bumping the reality of the Ny Slimes.
Too bad the lense isn't a .50cal machine gun.
