The Smoking Gun has obtained a copy of Vice President Cheney's "tour rider" (a list of basic requirements for when he's traveling or making appearances, like decaf coffee, diet soda, please have the lights in the hotel room already turned on, etc...) It's nothing like Van Halen's "please have five strippers in 'Sound of Music' dirndls standing in a bathtub full of Patron" from back in the day, but hey, I think being the VP must be exciting enough. But the Van Halen thing does bring me to my point: the VP also wants all the TV's in his downtime suite tuned to Fox News. And no matter how you feel about the VP personally or politically, it's incontrovertible that if you have that job, you need good intel at all times, so to speak. MSNBC and CNN aren't providing high-quality info these days, but FNC's been doing that since it started.
