This just in from Newsweek's Eleanor Clift, a frequent purveyor of political anecdotes. She bring us an enlightening one here regarding the (quote) undisclosed location (unquote) we heard lots about in the days after Sept. 11. Here's Eleanor:
Ever wonder about that secure, undisclosed location where Dick Cheney secreted himself after the 9/11 attacks? Joe Biden reveals the bunker-like room is at the Naval Observatory in Washington, where Cheney lived for eight years and which is now home to Biden. The veep related the story to his head-table dinner mates when he filled in for President Obama at the Gridiron Club earlier this year. He said the young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment. The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall. Cheney has emerged as the leading critic of the Obama administration on national security, saying the president’s policies are making America less safe, and if there’s another attack, it will be Obama’s fault. This is tough stuff, but as the architect of the Bush administration’s policies on war and torture, he has a much bigger legacy to protect than the president he helped steer onto the shoals.

‘Let me finish...Let me finish.’ No, Eleanor, why don’t you just shut up.
My God, these people are children.
It really is odious to drag Cheney into this. Biden exposed a top secret item. Clift needs to be waterboarded till she understands journalism.
Biden’s disclosure has violated over 13 laws. The guy needs to be removed. I encourage everyone to call the comment line, 202-456-1111 and point that out. Tell ‘em to throw Pelosi in for good measure.
To quote the current president, “It’s not funny, Joe.”
Biden is such a fool.
‘lets all stand up for joe’...
With all the vanities lately, why post a link to a blog with old news?
The Two Faces of Joe 
Now where you gonna go, Joe, to gird your loins?
It’s old news I was interested in. Also I don’t post vanities.
That looks cartoonish and reminds me of something or someone. Can’t place it but it is a silly looking cartoonish photo that I DO know.
I did a search for the title of the article. Didn’t see it. Sorry. This kind of thing certainly doesn’t hurt to recycle a bit. I don’t have time to sort through a generic search of all of Biden’s flubs.
Don't think Obama will care that the 'Cheney-now-Biden' secret spot; is no longer a secret.
Think Biden should be made to pay for a new location on his own dime and his children's; and their children as well. . .until paid for. If loose lips, sink ships; Biden has just taken out our 'fleet' of future VP's per their security options. No less than a treason, really; he should pay in some kind of 'measure'; some way; somehow.
Give Joe a cereal box to read and it will keep him busy for days.
Thes people hear voices in an empty room....
Elected by children.
