NYT small bit on Bidens' move

[Muttocracy]

...Now he and his second wife, Jill Jacobs Biden, face another decision. The Bidens will move into the vice president’s residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory in Washington when he takes office in January. But Mr. Biden said this week that decisions about Dr. Biden’s career as a college professor and where his 91-year-old mother, Jean Finnegan Biden, will live had not yet been settled.

With the impending move into public housing, one issue has been settled in the Obama and Biden households — both are getting dogs. They may need them.


-------
Whole article is about choices of whether to move family to D.C. And what the heck is up with Heather Wilson leaving two children under 5 back home?!?!

1. I just hope that the Secret Service does a sweep of the VP house

before the Biden's move into it.
I do not trust Cheney at all!


Have you seen pics of the VP house - it's amazing!

[elleng]

2. TOO BIG!

NOT a house; certainly not a home.

But we could visit, that is, those who live in DC!

[Muttocracy]

4. ooh, is there a DU JBSG guest room in the VP house?

I can sleep on the couch or floor, I ain't picky!!

:bounce:

[elleng]

6. Prolly LOTS,

but maybe for more 'hifalutin' guests than YOU, JoeIs!

We all haven't yet discussed gettogethers yet; lets do so, when folks here are ready!

[jillan]

7. I think there's room for us -

I read that it's on a lake.


Not too shabby! Except, of course, for the current residents.
Ew. Ew. Ew.

Do you think at least they will get a diffent bed? I cannot imagine sleeping in the same bed that Cheney slept in, or taking a shower in the same shower - the toilet.... ew.
Same with Obama - the same shower that Bush used. ew. My skin is crawling at the thought.

19. pirhana-time to fumigate the VP house! Sleeping in Cheney's former bed...ewwww!

Poor Joe and Jill. I would throw the mattress out and get a knew one. Seriously.

[Muttocracy]

20. I wonder how much of the furniture is personal vs. govmt? nt

[jillan]

21. It seemed really empty. With pictures on the wall.

Oh look at this - this is winter. This reminds me of Wyoming. This is spring.

oh shut up Lynne! :)

[Muttocracy]

22. I had to turn off the sound! :)

[Muttocracy]

15. Check it out - photoshop Cheney out mentally of course:

[jillan]

18. I wonder if the Cheney's are going to have the Biden's over for a tour.

[gateley]

26. Didn't Joe tell Cheney he'd arrest him if he could?

[PatSeg]

27. I remember Joe telling Cheney

he'd fire him if he could.

[gateley]

28. Oh yeah -- that's what I was thinking of. I loved that! nt

[PatSeg]

29. Yeah, nobody else would

say anything like that! Joe was deliciously outspoken.

[Muttocracy]

16. you know - Cheney probably wasn't there much - undisclosed locations & foreign trips. nt

[PatSeg]

3. How can a mother leave such young children all week long?

Oh, oh............I know - Republican Mothers!!!!

[AspenRose]

5. Family values

:eyes: don't EVEN get me started on Heather Wilson. Good riddance :puke:

[jillan]

8. Is she gone? Did she get voted out?

If not, it will be soon - now that her state is blue.

[PatSeg]

9. I don't think so

I actually saw her on TV today and thought "Shit! I thought I wouldn't have to hear that voice again." At least (knock on wood) I haven't seen Nancy Pfotwhatever.

[Muttocracy]

10. oh, she's gone - didn't she lose the PRIMARY :)

[Muttocracy]

11. I think she lost her PRIMARY :-D so yeah, she'll be gone. nt

[PatSeg]

12. Oh, that's good!

Maybe that's why she's still showing up on TV, she's job hunting! With that winning personality, I'm sure she'll go far.

[jillan]

13. Here's the scoop on her, thanks to Wikipedia.

Heather A. Wilson (born December 30, 1960), is a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives representing New Mexico's 1st congressional district from 1998 to 2008. She is the second female veteran to be elected to Congress.<1> Much of Wilson's legislative focus has been on national security issues. She opted not to run for re-election in 2008 and sought the U.S. Senate seat of retiring senator Pete Domenici but finished second in the Republican primary to Congressman Steve Pearce.


So - why are we still subjected to her on national tv?
Probably for the same reason Tweety still has DeLay on.

[Muttocracy]

14. maybe Gingrich, DeLay, Wilson, and Palin can get their own network. And leave others alone!

[jillan]

17. I thought they already had that network - Fox!

Actually I had fox on for awhile today because msnbc was talking non-stop about Palin, and I needed a Palin break.

They really had nothing bad to say about Obama. I was shocked. One of their commentators was saying that if Obama really cared about the economy he would name who he was going to pick for his cabinet. But that was it. They complimented him on his response to the question about the letter from Ahmidajad (spelling :P). They said they were waiting to see how he handles things.
They also talked about Lieberman and how the Repugs are trying to get him to come over to their side, but didn't bash Reid for what he did. hmmmm. Then again, I was listening to Shep Smith, not O'reilly or Hannity...that might have been a whole different story.

[PatSeg]

23. Oh, I see

I didn't realize she was trying for a senate seat. Ha, ha! Even her own party rejected her.

I suppose it IS like DeLay showing up on Hardball - that still blows my mind, what the hell. I think Wilson is trying to stay visible so she can keep her options open in DC. Probably doesn't want to fade away in New Mexico. Can't imagine who would want her though.

[AspenRose]

24. She chose to run for the senate and lost during the GOP primary

So she's not coming back

25. Shittty decor....who ever decorated it, needs to get a new line of work...
