Biden charging Secret Service for cottage rental
Washington Times ^ | 7/30/11 | Jim McElhatton

The U.S. Secret Service does more than protect Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — the agency also pays him rent.

Since April, Mr. Biden has collected more than $13,000 from the agency charged with protecting him and his family, for use of a rental cottage adjacent to the waterfront home he owns in a Wilmington, Del., neighborhood.

Mr. Biden, listed not as vice president in federal purchasing documents but as “vendor,” is eligible for up to $66,000 by the time the government contract expires in the fall of 2013, the records show.

Officials say the arrangement came about when a previous tenant moved out of the cottage and the Secret Service moved in.

If she’s a medical tech she’s not an MD and therefore the MD would be irrelevant.

She’s not referring to herself as Dr. Waldorf!

Where does this “worship” stuff come from? You obviously have a problem with the medical profession. Hope you never have a stroke!

Or Mr. Cheney? Good grief-they never gave the man any positive credit as it was! To the ‘other side’, Mr. Cheney was the devil or something; which was sad, he wasn’t anything of the sort!

The Cheney obsessions is bizarre.
It’s like it’s a faith-based requirement of their religion that Cheney is evil.

Every now and then I’d ask “what was it he did again?”

You’d get very vague mumblings about Halliburton, and Blackwater. Not very specific at all.
“so.....he was on the board once, so you think he tricked everyone into war just to give jobs to his buddies? Doesn’t that make pretty much EVERYONE in government in several countries a moron for being so easily manipulated?....”

That pretty much ends the conversation right there.
