Item 6 contains some info obtained from Bloomberg.com, so feel free to edit if you need to.
PING!
The PRC is one sick puppy!
Item number 5 is such crap!!! I mean he is NOT demanding!!!! I am more demanding than him...LOL. These folks are nuts.
Warning! Warning! Dangerous new trend. This is the same rationale being used by the Afghani's to persecute a Christian in Afghanistan. The trend tends to be if you are not part of us then you must be insane. Bet you see this from the liberals pretty soon.
Specifies the temp, asks for a few bottles of water and wants the TV on, so what? The man's the VP of the world's only Hyperpower. Ever see a pop star's rider of what they 'demand'?
He's not asking for a gift, they want to know if any item is going to be placed in his room - security reasons.
I know it is crazy for them to continuously complain about these little requests. The press already said that the Vice President can not compare himself to the pop star's because tax payers don't pay their bills. But even still, these are extremely normal and you are right that security is needed to be first.
Further, Cheney's not "demanding" gifts . . . he's stipulating that if someone wants to leave one, it should be cleared first, which frankly is only common sense, but there's no story in common sense.
Absolutely!!!
Cheney doesn't ask for much.
Water and Fox news.
Not only does he demand a container for ice, he also demands to know where the ice machine is! The man is so power-mad that he has to go get his own ice!
Monster!

How dare he!!!!! I think that we should impeach him immediately...LOL.
aren't they just swell
JK likes this, this makes JK happy, JK always needs...
Please, what a putz.
Indeed. I suspect that there have been incidents where the Secret Service advance crew has found unexpected packages in the room, and gone into full alert mode. Very unsettling to the other guests in the hotel, no doubt.
We have "status" at a few mid-to-upper level chains and this is standard fare: you fill out a card with your preferences for snacks, magazines, etc and there they are when you check in.
Milano cookies are yummy! Bottled water, even, sometimes, the ice bucket filled while we are checking in. Not demanding, it's just called SERVICE, you know, from the service industry.
How exactly does one define "exactly 68 degrees"? Will 68.1 degrees get the desk clerk shot in the face?
Absolutely. I worked for an Admiral for five years and believe me I know how those lists work. I filled out quite a few for him. This is just more garbage that the lib media is making a big deal about. Another one of those "non stories". They just love them don't they?
