Love thy neighbor? Not if it's Cheney (Neighbors hate 3am Choppers)

Donald Rumsfeld is popular in St. Michaels, Md., but locals might like it if Lynne and Dick Cheney headed for an undisclosed location, pronto.

If Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld faced off in an election, who'd get more votes?

Well, in the bucolic Chesapeake Bay town of St. Michaels - a 90-minute drive from the nation's capital, on Maryland's Eastern Shore - the secretary of defense is winning the popularity contest against the vice president.

The reason?

According to well-to-do residents near their waterfront estates, Don and Joy Rumsfeld blend in, don't inconvenience their neighbors and get around town with minimum fuss since they bought their weekend house a year ago.

But Dick and Lynne Cheney, who settled into St. Michaels last fall, are being blamed by the locals for stopping traffic, keeping neighbors barricaded in their homes while the motorcade passes by, and disrupting sleepers' REM cycles with low-flying Chinook helicopters.
