OK can we go yell at Cheney to get out of Biden's house now?

[Hokie]

I think it would be nice to pick one weekend soon and assemble a nice crowd in front of the Naval Observatory to serenade Darth Cheney with an all day chorus of "Get out of Biden's house!".

[daninthemoon]

1. What a disgusting thought. I would have to fumigate and repaint and

replace every carpet and floor. No, I still don't think I could sleep in a place cheney had slept.

[Medusa]

7. I'm thinking some sort of cleansing ritual is called for

voodoo, shamen's whatever----maybe all?

[Mira]

11. bowls of salt in every room, it absorbs remnants of evil - Yikes.

[blondeatlast]

28. I can't think of a better call for spiritual unity. LOL! nt

[Muttocracy]

17. Biden did totally renovated an old house and then build his own

so maybe he'll be more into renovation than Mondale, Bush, Quayle, Gore, and Cheney were.

[Jennicut]

48. Yup, he will be at home depot!

[Muttocracy]

49. Secret Service having to clear Home Depot - now there's a nightmare task! nt

[backscatter712]

43. That house will need an exorcism... n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

2. we are better than that

[NV Whino]

13. No we aren't.

[onenote]

24. we should be

and we should, above all else, respect the constitutional scheme for transitioning from one administration to another. Acting like Obama and Biden are already in charge, when there are several steps still to be taken as provided in the Constitution, would be seen, properly, as arrogant behavior by a large section of the public.

[Rowdyboy]

21. As pissed as I still am over their trashy behavior in 2000

Hopefully we are better than that. But not much. It still makes my blood boil remembering how they taunted and vilified Al and Tipper screaming "Get out of Cheney's house" in 2000 after the Supremes stole the election. I don't agree with that behavior but I can't find much fault in people on our side who act similarly.

Its been a miserably painful 8 years. Thank God its almost over.

And thank God friends like you are here to witness that, indeed, democracy will be restored. There were many days when I had real doubt. But we really are back.

:hug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

22. Hi Rowdyboy!

I have missed you!:hug:

[truedelphi]

34. For what you say, Well I toast -

:toast:

As far as Al and Tipper Gore staying on at their hosue - well they had no where to go.

But I hear Cheney has a real comfy spot somewhere in the Hague. Sort of a room w/o a view.

[truedelphi]

35. Big problem here though - how will we ever know if they leave?

The whole family could end up inside a secret bunker twenty thousand leagues below the home's first floor!

Reminds me of that old canard about - How do you know if your Grateful Dead Friends have visited lately??



Answer: You know they have visited because they are still around!

[Gman]

3. Hey, I'm with ya!

[JI7]

4. for those who don't know or remember, that's what Bush supporters did to Gore in 2000

a bunch of thugs, probably the same ones bussed into to Florida stood out and yelled for Gore to get out of Cheney's house.

it wouldn't matter too much but i think Gore's daughters and the grandbaby were there also.

[Overseas]

29. I didn't remember that factoid. Would love to see film of it on the news chat shows.

Would love to see them discuss the generous spirit of the GOP at that time

noting that their hate stoking rallies of 2008 were just a continuation of that meanness that is

central to their core values -- Country Club First.

[kskiska]

46. Bush's sister was one of the protesters

(snip)

It's actually "a pain in the neck" to be the sibling of a sitting president, she says, and tells how her daughter, Doro Koch, picketed outside Vice President Al Gore's residence "in disguise" during the 2000 recount. "That's Doro!" Mrs. Bush hoots when telling about it. "She felt better" after yelling at the Gores' house for a while, Mrs. Bush says.

Another interesting item on Barbara Bush in this article:

(snip)

At the hospital, she reads a story to some young patients and makes them laugh. But back in the van for the drive home to Kennebunkport, she says that the book she was given to read was without educational value and that the hospital administrators were obsequious--a quality she dislikes. "They thanked me three times, when once would have been fine." Then, softening abruptly, she thinks back to that morning's visit to the hospital's neonatal ICU, where she saw premature infants in incubators. "Where do you draw the line" in saving those who would not have survived in another time? "What kind of quality of life? It's the same thing with old age. Are we doing the right thing?" Then again she says of one severely impaired newborn, "But, they say she's brought great happiness..."

[blondeatlast]

31. Apparently many don't remember that--a really ugly day in political history

and decorum.

:shudder:

[Beausoir]

33. I remember. It still enrages me.

[Historic NY]

5. lets rent U-haul's to get him out sooner.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. I think Biden will still commute from his home in Wilmington!

Who wants to move in after ilk like Dick and Lynn Cheney? :rofl:

[Captain Hilts]

8. I'll do it!

[lady raven]

9. Since Joe is Catholic, I think an exorcism is in order. Yes? n/t

[FailureToCommunicate]

10. You COULD go but he won't hear you over

the constant grinding of several paper shredders going 24/7. Oh, and the furious clacking of "delete" keys for incriminating e-mails.
Folks, Cheney is busy, busy, busy. He's WAY too worried about the legal lynch mob to worry about some Obama/Biden carolers

[Lars39]

12. Can't wait to hear what Biden discloses about Cheney's bunker.

:bounce:

[yellowcanine]

14. Isn't Cheney still at an "undisclosed location"?

[northofdenali]

19. Yeah, hiding in his bathroom, puking from fear!

Dickus has more to fear than most with the coming "open" Administration and the revulsion of the majority of the electorate for his style of governance! :evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

15. we are Democrats.

we are better than that.

[Muttocracy]

16. I wonder if Cheney even spends time there - isn't he usually in a bunker somewhere?

[vanderBeth]

18. I hope Biden tells us what exactly is in that basement.

I have a general idea, but I need specifics.

[Left Is Write]

20. Soon.

And yes, a cleansing ritual would be helpful...

[Honeycombe8]

23. HEY, YOU OLD FAT GUY! GET OFFA OUR LAWN!!! nt

[book_worm]

25. If he's still there after twelve noon on Jan 20, 2009 then yes.

[carnie_sf]

26. Why don't we just tar and feather

the f*** and ride him out of town on a rail?
Edited for typo

[Catherine Vincent]

27. Heck yeah!

Get the fuck out of Biden's house....NOW! :)

[blondeatlast]

30. The republicans did that to the Gore's in 2000 for those that don't remember.

I got the reference right away. A cleansing ritual is in order, but I'm patient; we can wait til the official transfer date for that...

[CTyankee]

32. Jill should call Lynne and sweetly ask if she could come over next week to measure

the windows for new curtains! I'm sure Lynne's taste in decor was pretty horrible. Jill could bring an interior decorator and they could chat in the middle of the living room about what "has to go" and smirk a little bit at the sofas.

[paregdem]

36. Does anyone have a photo of Joe & Jill's future residence?

I don't know if I've ever seen a photo of the VP's residence; if I have, I don't remember what it looks like.

[carnie_sf]

37. Here you go

[paregdem]

38. Thank you so much for posting the photo!

I don't recall ever seeing the VP residence before. I wonder if I ever really cared to until now???
Gosh, it feels so darned good to care again. :)

[carnie_sf]

39. You are most welcome

It certainly does feel good to think that our caring makes a difference again :toast:

[marlakay]

42. I like the turret room, it would make a great office or

reading room.

[paregdem]

44. Okay, now my curiosity is really peaked...

Now I'd like to see the grounds and have a virtual tour of inside (best to wait for that until after 01/20/2009 though). A reading room or a library sounds very cozy...crisp winter air, a crackling fire in the fireplace, an over-sized comfortable chair and something to warm the insides.


Make that a chair for two
:hug:

*edited to change fall to winter...I'm beyond ready for "Out with the old, in with the new."

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. I wonder if he had secret rooms, bunkers, and dungeons put in there

[marlakay]

41. well at least if he goes by christmas

we can have a whole huge choir sing inside the house and scare away whats left of cheney...

I hope they get to bring their own furniture I wouldn't want to even sit where he did.

If they leave it I would put it all in storage and bring my own.

And even if it doesn't need it i would paint every wall...

[Saphire]

45. Cheney is not is that house! He's down in the sewers somewhere.

[Jennicut]

47. Both Cheneys deserve to be harassed but Obama and Biden have too much class

One of the Gore daughters, I think it was Kristin, was very upset about people being outside the house and yelling at her family. :( I also think the house must give off a seriously creepy vibe with the Cheneys having lived there for 8 years. Major fumigation and cleaning needs to go on, maybe an exorcism and defiantly some redecoration needs to happen. I hope Joe and Jill brighten the place up. Joe likes to go to home depot a lot so maybe he will enjoy redoing the house. Still, sleeping in the same house Dick and Lynne Cheney once slept in, kind of gross. More gross then moving in after Shrub because Dick Cheney is just plain nasty.
