Cheney's Needs on the Road: What, No NPR?(Fox News or else.)
The New York Times ^ | WASHINGTON (March 23) | By ELISABETH BUMILLER

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.

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.

This sounds pretty much like what I want when I stay at a hotel. Nothing unusual here...

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Besides, I bet they basically ask him what he wants, anyway. They have to check his room and everything... It's not like he's some Hollowood head case demanding all white flowers and different curtains and what not...

At least he is not sending his 'bully's' to get women for him. I'm sure he never has and never will.

For his reading material, Mr. Cheney should have The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and the local newspaper.

Not sure what the Slimes is bitching about. He watches FNC and reads the NYSLIMES.

Unless they are trying to give an impression to their readers who can only read 1-2 lines of an article before their short term attention span wavers?

Nah..........they would not do that, they are hard working journalist /sarcasm>

When I was laid up in the Hospital for a couple of weeks, I almost went nuts having to watch CNN.

Any celebrity, to include the Vice President, sends such a package ahead of them to ensure that everything is prepared appropriately for their arrival. There's nothing to see here.

On another note, a friend of mine was on the volunteer security detail at the Cheney event in Tucson. He tried to get me on it, but it was too late. Anyway, his job was checking IDs for the people entering the now famous "hospitality suite" He never actually got to see into the room, but he got to check IDs for everyone entering the room.
