Born at the Crest of the Empire

And for something a little lighter....

The Smoking Gun has posted a copy of Dick Cheney's "rider." These are always pretty funny, a list of special conditions celebrities require when they travel or backstage at concerts. This is very tame compared to most of the ones the Smoking Gun has posted over the years, but I do find one condition pretty funny for Cheney's "downtime room."

Cheney requires that the places that he stays are to pretune the TV's to Foxnews. It's not that I'm surprised that Dick Cheney would watch FoxNews, but pretuned? Is he afraid that in that brief moment before he is able to switch the channel that his patriotism might somehow be contaminated by Daryn Kagan or Soledad O'Brien?

  • I think it's because Fox News is never the same number channel on any given cable system, Cheney's a busy man and if he flips through the channels looking for Fox, he may be distracted by SpongeBob Square Pants.

  • Yeah, I know, but I just thought it was kinda funny. And after the heavy post next, I wanted a little funny.

  • Hey, a man's gotta be able to keep up with "the latest" on Natalie Holloway or which porn queen Bill O'Reilly is interviewing on a given night.

    Cheney. What a diva.
