Apparently, the Vice President has a list with diva-like requirements wherever he goes. Some of it should come as no shock.
* Queen or King Size Bed
* Desk with Chair
* Private Bathroom
* All lights turned on
* Temperature set to 68 degrees
* All Televisions tuned to FOX News
* Microwave
* Coffee Pot in the Suite (and Dick likes his decaf)
* Container for Ice
* Bottled Water, 4-6 bottles
* Diet Caffeine Free Sprite, 4 cans
* Sparkling Water (Calistoga or Perrier), 2 bottles--if Mrs. Cheney is travel with The Vice President
* Hotel Restaurant Menu
* (Something about a "special" gift, if the hotel would like to provide one...what the hell?)
Now does it surprise you that the TV must be tuned to FOX News only? And no one can figure out what the "special" gift is.
When we asked Cheney spokesperson Jenny Mayfield about the document's reference to gifts that hotels might leave in the suite for the vice president, she told us she was unable to address that question since she had not seen the "downtime requirements" rider (she asked for a copy, which we declined to provide in advance of its publication here). At our source's request, we've blacked out the handwritten name and Washington, D.C. phone number of a Cheney staffer. As for the notations regarding extra lamps, specific newspapers, and a carafe, it is unclear whether they were added by an advance team staffer or a hotel official.
