Cheney appears to be preparing to leave the White House at any rate..

this should ease some fears about him not leaving. On the other hand, with his proximity to Langley, maybe he'll be bucking for CIA Chief?

:scared:


The New Neighbors Sure Like Black SUVs


Never too early to begin transition planning. So there were Vice President Cheney and spouse Lynne out in McLean on Sunday afternoon, strolling about the house they're building in that tony suburb.

A Loop Fan spotted the veep -- attracted by three black SUVs, a limo and a marked Secret Service car all parked discreetly along the road outside the property -- taking the tour of what he described as a "large home under construction."

The "in-town home" -- as opposed to the Chesapeake Bay house -- is on a small lot (just under an acre) that the Cheneys bought for $1.35 million on Jan. 12, 2000, months before his selection as George W. Bush's vice presidential candidate, according to property records.

Cheney tore down the previous house, we were told, but left the lot vacant -- much to the consternation of the exceptionally well-heeled neighbors -- when he moved into public housing at the Naval Observatory off Massachusetts Avenue NW.

1. Maybe President McInsane will get him a job

[ray of light]

2. Yep. You can say that neighborhood is going down hill!

[MikeNearMcChord]

3. I prefer him leaving the White House, in a orange jumpsuit

handcuffed and being frogmarched.

[Auggie]

4. I thought he would flee the country

Shouldn't this leave him vulnerable to -- dare I say -- investigation?

[bdamomma]

8. well cheney feels that he has not done criminal, that is how

delusional this jerk is.

[dysfunctional press]

14. not exactly- he just feels that he is above the law entirely.

if a democratic vice-president did any of it- he'd see them as satan's spawn.

[bdamomma]

15. yea, there are alot of them who feel that they are above the law.

someday they will fall from that pedestal that they are on.

[Done]

17. Remember the fire? nt

[SoCalDem]

5. Gee whiz.. One would think that he would be itching to get back to Wyoming

but he's staying in the DC area?? I guess he just cannot let go of all the "contacts" he's got there.. there's some serious meddling yet to do, apparently.

Here's hoping he has a short retirement.:evilgrin:...

[Virginia Dare]

6. That's what I take from all of this too..

while he may be leaving the White House, Cheney has no plans to leave power anytime soon.

[whistle]

7. Unless Cheney leaves today I will not be comfortable until Dick is

...locked up or locked out :wtf:

[Sabriel]

9. Did he miss out on the Paraguay land buy?

I really wish the Dark Lord of the Sith would leave this galaxy.

[Eurobabe]

10. I thought Darth was off to Dubai?

:wtf:

[Virginia Dare]

11. That's Plan B apparently...n/t

[wuushew]

12. Help me find the Cheney!!!

Fairfax County real esate assement records = http://icare.fairfaxcounty.gov/Main/Home.aspx



We know the acreage and date of previous sale. Google Earth is not showing any obvious digital alterations yet.


Also if the house is under construction, shouldn't active building permits be public record?



:kick:

16. His property records are exempt..

from public disclosure I'm pretty sure due to his position?.. Unfortunately in that neck of the woods it's not uncommon to level an older home and put up a brand spanking new mansion.

[wuushew]

18. I don't think the seller would be exempt from the public record

just the current owner. Plus the article describes what the current house looks like.

How many houses can one expect to have changed hands in one month in a community of 43,000?

Plus, Cheney is soon to become a private citizen. If I can lookup Al Gore's house I damn sure better be able to verify where Darth Vader lives.

19. Just be careful not to nose around too much..

or Agent Mike will come looking for you. I know you can't use those commercial databases to look up celebrities or public figures. You sign a paper saying that when you subscribe.

13. The Bush economic policies are working!

Imagine, a simple public servant on a fixed income, who's been living in government housing for eight years has saved up enough to buy himself and the missus a cute little bungalow. What's the matter with the rest of you layabouts?
