Making Reservations for Cheney?

As celebrity hotel-room demands go, the Dark Lord has a pretty simple list. Some even make sense.

From The Smoking Gun, which has the VP’s ‘Downtime Requirements’ sheet on its website:

While the vice president’s requests are pretty modest (no extract-the-brown-M&M demands here), Cheney does like his suite at a comfy 68 degrees. And, of course, all the televisions need to be preset to the Fox News Channel (what, you thought he was a Lifetime devotee?). Decaf coffee should be ready upon his arrival along with four cans of caffeine-free Diet Sprite.

The form also specifies that the ‘Advance Team’ should be notified if the hotel puts a gift in the suite. (Which makes sense. You’d hate to see the Secret Service blow a perfectly nice fruit basket into fruit juice ‘just in case’.)
