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 he normally rents this cottage out I can’t say there’s anything wrong here. Otherwise it gives him a financial incentive to stay at home instead of the veep’s house.
Would you deny Mother Teresa the occasional crust of bread?
< /SARC> tag not required
"Informed" instead of "asked"?
Don't let that "MD" title go to your head much, do you?
You know, we threw off that yoke in the 18th century. No royalty here.
You have a job title, it does not make you royalty.
In fact, it makes you highly suspect as regards overbilling
for services, relying upon the government to pay the high dollars to you.
"Informed" the moderator indeed. HA.
Well, this will certainly endear him to the Sectet Service. The more the SS and military loathe the Fiend and Vice Fiend, the better.
Would you deny Mother Teresa the occasional crust of bread?
Biden only draws a pittance for his monumental work for "we the people?"
So what if he rents out the cabin behind his mansion for a few pennies?
< /SARC> tag not required (oops - HTML error - GRIN)
And you have a comma splice.
...in addition to other grammar errors.
I tossed those in just to attract you.
Worked like a charm.
Now, let’s see how the “I’M ROYALTY” medical tech responds.
What is wrong with you? Couldn’t get into med school?
Did you ever stop to think that maybe she lives in Maryland?
Note, though, IANAL.

What the hell is your problem? Leave the good doctor alone.
VP Biteme, so cheap ! He ought to be charged the same amount for hit Secret Service protection.
Medical?
Are you clueless enough that you don’t know how to click a person’s handle to see that she’s from MD?
Or did you just assume the “MD” meant “Medical Doctor”?

Yeah, I asked that question once.
I was told not to question her highness the medical technician.
What is wrong with you?
Not a thing. Do you want to worship medical techs? Call them by a title?
Do you often find yourself looking for someone to worship in that way?
Biden is a crook.
Maybe even...just perhaps....Waldorf, Maryland...?
No...I call medical techs “Doctor” because even surgeons (i.e., medical techs) have earned that title. ;-)
Why?
The "good doctor" presumes to "tell" the moderators here what to do.
The "good doctor" presumes to use her job title in her name
in order to drag up a bit of respect she does not deserve.
Most folks would spit on that kind of elitist presumption.
