Dick Cheney In Hotels

The Smoking Gun certainly can be a source of interesting information (they broke the James Frey story). Recently they obtained the U.S. vice-president's hotel requirements. He doesn't appear to be too high maintenance, as the Smoking Gun acknowledges: "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." However, there is one eyebrow-raising clause: "If the Hotel would like to put a gift in the Suite please let the Advance Office know ASAP." Hmm. Hinting for a gift. Mr. Cheney's staffers might like to hire Miss Manners as a consultant. Via Moby.
