Shining Light On Cheney's Hideaway
Daniel Stone

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.

1. I bet Darth Cheney practically lived in that bunker, plotting the destruction of America.
I bet he ate and slept there for weeks on end.
And kind of obvious it was at the VP residence. Neighbors in 2002 complained about loud construction which was deemed "classified".

2. There were reports around 2001, 2002, that he excavated a basement below the building
What a sick fuck he was.

4. So his secure, undisclosed location was his basement.
No wonder he sounds like a freeper.

5. Biden's office released a statement on this today.....
.... http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm/0509/undisclosed_no_more_c052b40f-2065-433b-99aa-741357648616.html

Saying that Joe misspoke. :)

Which he either did and there's no bunker ..... or he DIDN'T and there IS one, but we're not supposed to know about it.

6. Someone should ask Joe about Area 51. No matter WHAT he says, it'll be hilarious. n/t
