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.

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.
